Mounds View City Council September 26,2011 <br /> • Regular Meeting Page 9 <br /> Mayor Flaherty then stated, in response to Mr. Amundsen, that the City was not changing any of <br /> its processes regarding the Committee and its review of such information. The Committee does <br /> not typically receive this information. <br /> Mr. Amundsen asked the Council what it would like the Streets and Utilities Committee to do. <br /> He felt the Council has taken away the Committee's ability to make financial decisions. <br /> Council Member Mueller clarified that part of the savings seen for Area E was due to the fact the <br /> design standards were already complete. In addition, because this was the City's fourth street <br /> improvement project, the City was using approximately 1/3 fewer consulting engineering hours <br /> and more City Staff time. <br /> Public Works Director DeBar stated this was the case, as the City has seen a reduction in the <br /> consulting engineering hours over the past four years, since the projects began. Director DeBar <br /> confirmed the City would manage Area E project with fewer consultant hours as bid. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7831, <br /> Authorizing Stantec Consulting Services Inc. to Perform Engineering Design Services and <br /> Prepare Bidding Documents for Area E of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. <br /> • Council Member Hull noted he would support the Resolution but wanted to thanked Joe Rhein <br /> and his excellent team for his work on the City's behalf. Public Works Director DeBar indicated <br /> he would pass this along to Mr. Rhein. <br /> Mayor Flaherty echoed these sentiments and also thanked Joe Rhein for his excellent service to <br /> the City of Mounds View.
