Mounds View City Council October 28, 2024 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />Council Member Clark asked if grants were available for trails in wetlands. Public Works/Parks <br />and Recreation Director Peterson stated it was his understanding grant funding was not available <br />for ag lime or gravel trails, only for asphalt trails. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom indicated an asphalt trail would be exponentially more expensive than an ag <br />lime trail. <br /> <br />Council Member Clark supported waiting on the trail and recommended the Council only approve <br />the base bid from Winberg at this time. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Clark/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9995, <br />Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract to Winberg Companies LLC for the Ardan Park Pond <br />Project for the base bid only. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause indicated he was hesitant to move forward with the trail. He <br />indicated the City didn’t always have a path around Silver View Park Pond and noted the neighbors <br />were not supportive of having a path behind their homes. He explained the proposed path around <br />Ardan Park could raise the same concerns. He recommended the Council hold off on the trail at <br />this time, until further information is available regarding the wetland banking. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom stated there were no homes that backed up to this pond and for this reason he <br />could support the trail moving forward at some point. He indicated he supported an ag lime path <br />being installed around Ardan Park. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />C. Resolution 9996, Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract to ACM LLC for <br />Silver View Park Pond Project. <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson requested the Council accept bids and award <br />a contract to ACM LLC for the Silver View Park Pond project. He explained Silver View was a <br />water quality project. He reported the pond needs to be dredged in several areas and to get to these <br />areas, the City would have to go through wetlands, which was frowned upon. He stated staff has <br />met with residents to discuss this project. He indicated Stantec found that the storm drains leading <br />into the pond have no infiltration basins, nor were there any rain gardens in place. He further <br />reviewed the improvements that would be completed through this project and recommended the <br />Council award the contract. <br /> <br />Council Member Clark stated she supported this project moving forward. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom asked if the alum treatments were part of this project. Public Works/Parks and <br />Recreation Director Peterson indicated the alum dosing treatments were not included. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom requested further comment on what the impact would be for the proposed <br />improvements. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained the infiltration <br />basins and culverts on Lake Court and Parkview would have sediment traps in order to remove the
