Mounds View City Council January 27, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 7 Public Works Director Lee reviewed with Council the options for the path and indicated the next 1 step would be to finalize the feasibility study and develop plans and specifications for the project. 2 He then indicated that Staff had met with SEH and the engineering fees for these services are 3 estimated at $21,350 to be derived from the City’s special projects fund. 4 5 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5936, a 6 Resolution Approving a Supplemental Letter Agreement with SEH for Work Associated with the 7 County Road H Pathway Project from Edgewood Drive to the Western City Limits. 8 9 City Attorney Riggs asked that the Resolution be corrected to read that the Mayor and the Interim 10 City Administrator are authorized not the Public Works Director. 11 12 Council Member Stigney indicated the EDA had discussed using TIF funds to fund trailways. 13 14 Public Works Director Lee indicated that Staff had recommended that the monies come from the 15 special project funds but TIF or grants could be used to assist with funding the project. 16 17 Council Member Marty indicated he agreed that residents should not be assessed for the pathway. 18 He then said that he heard from some residents that they do not want a sidewalk in their yard and 19 then asked that the narrowest pathway possible be used to make it seem less imposing. He 20 further commented that he would like the width to accommodate City equipment so that the City 21 could be responsible for clearing the sidewalk and not the residents. 22 23 Council Member Quick asked if all sidewalks are cleared by public works. 24 25 Public Works Director Lee indicated that they are. 26 27 Council Member Quick asked what the width of the sidewalk along Long Lake Road was and 28 commented that a little wider would be better because there are sometimes issues with passing 29 others on the sidewalk. He then commented that he did not see an issue with putting in the 30 sidewalk as it is within the City’s right-of-way and is not on private property. 31 32 Council Member Quick asked if some residents have things in the right-of-way. 33 34 Public Works Director Lee indicated that there are some residents with things in the right-of-35 way. 36 37 Mayor Linke asked why bituminous was not recommended until the 8-foot width. 38 39 Public Works Director Lee indicated it was due to construction methods as the narrowest paver is 40 8 feet. 41 42 Council Member Quick indicated he wanted the trail done right the first time so it does not have 43 to be redone. 44 45
