Item No. 7.M. <br />Meeting Date: May 12, 2008 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />City Administrator Review: ______ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Mark Beer, Finance Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7472 Authorizing Installation of Fiber Optic <br />Conduit <br /> <br /> <br />Background: At the November 2008 Work Session staff presented the Council with a possible <br />opportunity to install fiber optic conduit from City Hall to the east side of the H2 and County Highway <br />10 intersection as part of the TTM Operating Corporation (TTM) fiber installation to the water <br />tower. The installation would be approximately 2,000 feet for future use. We would be able to <br />use the same contractor which would save a significant amount over what it would cost if we <br />build it alone. Staff spoke with the Roseville IT Director and he requested a quote from Access <br />Corp, the contractor extending the fiber for TTM. The cost would be approximately $8,000 plus <br />taxes and freight. Council direction was to pursue the installation of conduit pending an <br />agreement with TTM. <br /> <br />Discussion: W ith the possibility of a ground lease being authorized with TTM, Council will <br />need to authorize the installation of the conduit and modify the budget in the Cable Fund to <br />accommodate payment. Account 210-4350-7030 equipment would need to be increased by <br />$8,438. <br /> <br />Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of resolution 7472. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mark Beer <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
