Mounds View City Council September 26, 2011 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty then stated, in response to Mr. Amundsen, that the City was not changing any of 1 <br />its processes regarding the Committee and its review of such information. The Committee does 2 <br />not typically receive this information. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Mr. Amundsen asked the Council what it would like the Streets and Utilities Committee to do. 5 <br />He felt the Council has taken away the Committee’s ability to make financial decisions. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Council Member Mueller clarified that part of the savings seen for Area E was due to the fact the 8 <br />design standards were already complete. In addition, because this was the City’s fourth street 9 <br />improvement project, the City was using approximately 1/3 fewer consulting engineering hours 10 <br />and more City Staff time. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Public Works Director DeBar stated this was the case, as the City has seen a reduction in the 13 <br />consulting engineering hours over the past four years, since the projects began. Director DeBar 14 <br />confirmed the City would manage Area E project with fewer consultant hours as bid. 15 <br /> 16 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7831, 17 <br />Authorizing Stantec Consulting Services Inc. to Perform Engineering Design Services and 18 <br />Prepare Bidding Documents for Area E of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Council Member Hull noted he would support the Resolution but wanted to thanked Joe Rhein 21 <br />and his excellent team for his work on the City’s behalf. Public Works Director DeBar indicated 22 <br />he would pass this along to Mr. Rhein. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Mayor Flaherty echoed these sentiments and also thanked Joe Rhein for his excellent service to 25 <br />the City of Mounds View.
