Mounds View City Council July 24, 2023 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br />D. Resolution 9782, Approving Change Order #2 for the Area K Street Project <br />regarding the Trail Lights on Mounds View Boulevard. <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson requested the Council approve Change <br />Order #2 for the Area K Street Project regarding the Trail Lights on Mounds View Boulevard. He <br />discussed the trails and lighting that were proposed as part of this project. He explained the wrong <br />wiring was purchased for this project and the contractor was recommending the existing wire be <br />pulled and that the correct wire be purchased and installed for the trail lights. He reported there <br />was no impact to the 2023 Budget as this expense would come out of the 2023 Street Improvement <br />Fund. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked if this was an engineering design error. Public Works/Parks and <br />Recreation Director Peterson believed this to be the case. He stated the contractor installed the <br />wire as per the designs, but once it was in the pole, the gauge wire could not bend within the <br />smaller LED poles. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom recommended the wire that was pulled be sold for scrap in order to <br />recover some of the lost cost for the wire. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson <br />stated this would be done. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Lindstrom. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9782, <br />Approving Change Order #2 for the Area K Street Project regarding the Trail Lights on Mounds <br />View Boulevard. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />E. Resolution 9783, Approving the Proposal for the Silver View Storm Water <br />Pond Restoration. <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson requested the Council approve the proposal <br />for the Silver View Storm Water Pond Restoration. He commented on the work that would be done <br />to the Silver View storm water pond. He discussed the spot dredging, data collection, public <br />engagement, water quality assessment, upland restoration and permit work that would be <br />completed by Stantec. He estimated the project would cost $140,250 and noted the project would <br />be funded by the Storm Water Fund. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom questioned when the restoration work would begin. Public <br />Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained staff would work to gather public <br />comments prior to beginning any dredging or restoration work. He anticipated restoration work <br />would not begin until 2024. <br /> <br />City Administrator Zikmund reported the City has been building up a fund in preparation for the <br />dredging work. He commented on how cutting back the vegetation surrounding the pond would <br />assist with addressing the future sedimentation of the pond. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked if the dredging work would assist with addressing the lily pads.
