Mounds View City Council November 22, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 5 Mayor Flaherty stated the applicant has not shown any hardship, but suggested he speak further 1 with his neighbor to see if they were willing to assume half of the infiltration basin. Public 2 Works Director DeBar did not oppose this suggestion but stated time is of the essence as plans 3 were being drafted by Bonestroo. City Administrator Ericson suggested that staff hold off 4 contacting the neighbor until the feasibility of this option is determined. 5 6 Public Works Director DeBar stated the second appeal was submitted by the owner of Sands 7 Apartments at 5440 Jackson Drive. Two infiltration basins were planned for this parcel and the 8 applicant expressed concern with the area becoming a stormwater “hot spot” as the area has 9 flooded in the past. Staff explained this was not a valid claim. 10 11 Public Works Director DeBar indicated the second claim was that the basins were not properly 12 spaced. However, the infiltration basins were spread properly along the roadway and sized by 13 the consultants based on specific regulations. He ensured that the slope would be proper while 14 maintaining a natural look in the right-of-way. 15 16 Mayor Flaherty questioned if the slope in this area would be a concern. Public Works Director 17 DeBar indicated the basin would have to be properly sloped or built up on the back slope to 18 assure there was no ponding of water runoff. This would direct the water back into the street and 19 away from the property. 20 21 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7702, 22 Denying SIP Appeals and Approving the Proposed Locations of Stormwater Infiltration Basins in 23 Area D of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. 24 25 Mayor Flaherty thanked the Streets and Utility Committee for diligently discussing these issues 26 and for their recommendations to Council. 27 28 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 29 30 E. Resolution 7703, Approving Service Agreements with Trane US, Inc. and 31 Architect Mechanical, Inc. for HVAC System Maintenance of City Facilities. 32 33 Public Works Director DeBar explained the City owns 13 buildings that have an HVAC unit. 34 Seven of these buildings have simple units; three buildings had more sophisticated units. The 35 remaining three buildings are buildings with multiple units. He indicated the maintenance 36 contract with Trane has expired. He reviewed that proper maintenance of these systems could 37 reduce the City’s expenses in the long term. The maintenance agreement would provide 38 quarterly inspections of each unit. 39 40 Public Works Director DeBar reviewed three quotes received for HVAC system maintenance 41 throughout the City. The City has been pleased with Trane’s performance in the past and 42 recommended the Council approve a service agreement with Trane and Architect Mechanical for 43 the HVAC system maintenance of City facilities. If approved, the contractors would visit the 44 City in December to prepare the units for winter. 45
