Mounds View City Council August 13, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 16 <br />Public Works Director Lee explained that it focused on Areas A, B and E. Director Lee • <br />indicated that there will only need to be a minor update to some areas of the feasibility report. <br />Council Member Flaherty indicated that he would like an idea of what the feasibility study will <br />cost the Ciiy. <br />Council Member Stigney agreed, and said he would like to get a ballpark idea of what this would <br />cost. Council Member Stigney said that there were no recommendations as of yet, and no <br />information on the financing. <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that the residents have not been asked to buy into the project <br />as of yet, so that concerns him. <br />Council Member Mueller asked whether Public Works would feel comfortable updating the <br />feasibiliiy study. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that Staff cannot do it, as there are water gardens being <br />added, and earth work to create them and those items are beyond the realm of the public works <br />responsibilities. <br />Mayor Marty noted that he got out to some of the neighborhoods on National Night Out and he <br />does not see having a problem with the proposed plan as residents seemed to be interested in • <br />having streets improved. <br />Mayor Marty would like to approve this with a condition that this comes back to Council with <br />information on costs. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that this is a new and different situation, as there are 29 rain <br />gardens proposed for this project. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Flaherty. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7140, <br />Authorizing the Preparation of an Updated Preliminary Feasibility Report for the 2008 Street and <br />Utility Improvement Project as Amended to Require that Staff Bring Back Information on <br />Feasibility Study Costs. <br />Council Member Mueller said that she is disappointed that the $200,000 feasibility report from <br />last year is not of more assistance for this year. <br />Council Member Stigney suggested a friendly amendment to amend the Resolution based on the <br />current tentative recommendations, and in Item 2 with the current tentative recommendations. <br />The Motion and Second accepted the friendly amendment. <br />~ <br />
