Mounds View City Council August 13, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 16 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Public Works Director Lee explained that it focused on Areas A, B and E. Director Lee 2 <br />indicated that there will only need to be a minor update to some areas of the feasibility report. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Council Member Flaherty indicated that he would like an idea of what the feasibility study will 5 <br />cost the City. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Council Member Stigney agreed, and said he would like to get a ballpark idea of what this would 8 <br />cost. Council Member Stigney said that there were no recommendations as of yet, and no 9 <br />information on the financing. 10 <br /> 11 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that the residents have not been asked to buy into the project 12 <br />as of yet, so that concerns him. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Council Member Mueller asked whether Public Works would feel comfortable updating the 15 <br />feasibility study. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that Staff cannot do it, as there are water gardens being 18 <br />added, and earth work to create them and those items are beyond the realm of the public works 19 <br />responsibilities. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Mayor Marty noted that he got out to some of the neighborhoods on National Night Out and he 22 <br />does not see having a problem with the proposed plan as residents seemed to be interested in 23 <br />having streets improved. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Mayor Marty would like to approve this with a condition that this comes back to Council with 26 <br />information on costs. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that this is a new and different situation, as there are 29 rain 29 <br />gardens proposed for this project. 30 <br /> 31 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Flaherty. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7140, 32 <br />Authorizing the Preparation of an Updated Preliminary Feasibility Report for the 2008 Street and 33 <br />Utility Improvement Project as Amended to Require that Staff Bring Back Information on 34 <br />Feasibility Study Costs. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Council Member Mueller said that she is disappointed that the $200,000 feasibility report from 37 <br />last year is not of more assistance for this year. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Council Member Stigney suggested a friendly amendment to amend the Resolution based on the 40 <br />current tentative recommendations, and in Item 2 with the current tentative recommendations. 41 <br /> 42 <br />The Motion and Second accepted the friendly amendment. 43 <br /> 44
