Mounds View City Council November 22, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 5 with his neighbor to see if they were willing to assume half of the infiltration basin. Public Works Director DeBar did not oppose this suggestion but stated time is of the essence as plans were being drafted by Bonestroo. City Administrator Ericson suggested that staff hold off until the feasibility of this option is determined. Public Works Director DeBar stated the second appeal was submitted by the owner of Sands Apartments at 5440 Jackson Drive. Two infiltration basins were planned for this parcel and the applicant expressed concern with the area becoming a stormwater "hot spot" as the area has flooded in the past. Staff explained this was not a valid claim. Public Works Director DeBar indicated the second claim was that the basins were not properly spaced. However, the infiltration basins were spread properly along the roadway and sized by the consultants based on specific regulations. He ensured that the slope would be proper while maintaining a natural look in the right -of -way. Mayor Flaherty questioned if the slope in this area would be a concern. Public Works Director DeBar indicated the basin would have to be properly sloped or built up on the back slope to assure there was no ponding of water runoff. This would direct the water back into the street and away from the property. MOTION /SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7702, Denying SIP Appeals and Approving the Proposed Locations of Stormwater Infiltration Basins in Area D of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. Mayor Flaherty thanked the Streets and Utility Committee for diligently discussing these issues and for their recommendations to Council. Ayes 5 Nays 0 Motion carried. E. Resolution 7703, Approving Service Agreements with Trane US, Inc. and Architect Mechanical, Inc. for HVAC System Maintenance of City Facilities. Public Works Director DeBar explained the City owns 13 buildings that have an HVAC unit. Seven of these buildings have simple units; three buildings had more significant units. The remaining three buildings were park buildings with controlled units. He indicated the maintenance contract with Trane has expired. He reviewed that proper maintenance of these systems could reduce the City's expenses in the long term. The maintenance agreement would provide quarterly inspections of each unit. Public Works Director DeBar reviewed three bids received for HVAC system maintenance throughout the City. The City has been pleased with Trane's performance in the past and recommended the Council approve a service agreement with Trane and Architect Mechanical for the HVAC system maintenance of City facilities. If approved, the contractors would visit the City in December to prepare the units for winter.
