Resolution 7398, Accepting the County Road 10 Trail, Segments 9 & 10 9 Project and Authorizing Final Payment. 10 11 Council Member Mueller stated that a resident called her to indicate there had been problems 12 with the trail last Spring with flooding and she wanted to assure those issues had been corrected 13 prior to releasing the final payment. She stated it appears the final payment for this project is 14 actually being paid to another entity and asked for confirmation that releasing the final payment 15 releases the City from any future debt to the contractor. 16 17 Finance Director Beer advised that when this contract was executed, the contractor designated in 18 a signed document that payments were to go directly to the surety company. The City was 19 served with a lien so staff has been working with the surety and bond service on the amounts 20 owned and they agreed that the amount going to the surety company will pay off the 21 subcontractors who worked on this project. Finance Director Beer explained that once paid, the 22 City is not responsible for IRS or other liens a subcontractor may have. 23 24 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Stigney. To Approve Resolution 7398, Accepting the County 25 Road 10 Trail, Segments 9 and 10 Project and Authorizing Final Payment. 26 27 Council Member Gunn indicated she was also concerned whether the flooding problem had been 28 fixed. Finance Director Beer stated they did additional grading and placed crushed rock to 29 address that issue. Council Member Gunn asked what would happen if it floods again after 30 making final payment. Finance Director Beer stated there have been substantial rains since the 31 crushed rock was placed and been no problem with flooding. 32 33 Mayor Flaherty stated he has not been reassured the low area has been fixed and asked whether 34 there was a warranty. Finance Director Beer stated he was not sure the City could get a warranty 35 but Mr. Ryan can be asked. He noted the repair work was discussed at the Council meeting last 36 year. 37 38 Council Member Mueller noted the company that worked on the trail is no longer in business so 39 it is not realistic to think there would be a warranty. Finance Director Beer agreed and stated the 40 City may be able to go back to the bonding company. He stated the check will not be issued until 41 the Council’s questions are satisfied. 42 43
