Page 5 January 26, 1998 Mounds View City Council arose as to whether or not a Wetland Delineation Report was done on the property. According to the information they have, the property was not in the wetlands, however the Rice Creek Watershed District maps, however, indicate that the property is in the wetland district. To verify the status, a Wetland Delineation Report is required. This study cannot be completed until April and therefore the city must decide if they want to postpone the project until Spring when the report can be completed, or prepare a site plan for grading and drainage for just the building and the parking in front of the building and not do the major parking lot where the potentially identified wetland area would be. This would keep the project on track as far as timing. Mr. Whiting noted that Resolution No. 5209 is incorrect. The Council should consider making a motion to enter into a supplemental agreement with WAI Continuum based on the January 20, 1998 letter for Supplemental Services billed on an hourly rate not to exceed $4,650.00. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Gunn to authorize the city to enter into a Supplemental Agreement with WAI Continuum based on the January 20, 1998 letter for Supplemental Services, billed on an hourly rate not to exceed $4,650.00. VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried • Mr. Olson explained that Resolution No. 5207 would approve the plans and specifications for Phase II of the project and authorize the taking of bids fore the construction. He noted that the drawings were submitted on January 20th for staff review. After Council approval, they will be issued on approximately February 4th for bidding with construction beginning on approximately March 4, 1998. MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Gunn to approve Resolution No. 5207, A Resolution Approving Phase II Plans and Specifications and Authorizing the Taking of Bids for the Construction of the Mounds View Community Center. Council member Stigney noted that there had been a discussion on the proposed brick at a previous meeting and it is his understanding that the selected brick will be different than that which is on the City Hall building. He asked why they are not proposing to use the same brick. Mr. Olson noted that the smooth surface proposed is easier to clean and that the color will match the brick on the city hall building. Council member Stigney stated he would prefer to use the same. Other council members stated they would rather use a brick which is easier to clean. VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Mr. Whiting gave the council a brief update on the status of the roof at the community center. He noted that after a drying period, the roof will be patched to hopefully alleviate any further leakage or damage. Mr. Koopmeiners suggested that sand be put azound the elevated membrane of the roof to help keep water from the damaged azeas. When asked about the roof damage, Mr. Olson stated it is his understanding that the HVAC units were removed with a crane and therefore, he does not believe they would have damaged the roof. F.
