Mounds View City Council January 12, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 7 either side of the road. Parking will be allowed only on the west side of Red Oak Drive from Hillview Road to Long Lake Road. MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Mueller. To Approve Resolution 7400, Establishing Parking Regulations for Red Oak Drive from County Road 10 to Long Lake Road. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. D. Resolution 7398, Accepting the County Road 10 Trail, Segments 9 & 10 Project and Authorizing Final Payment. Council Member Mueller stated that a resident called her to indicate there had been problems with the trail last Spring with flooding and she wanted to assure those issues had been corrected prior to releasing the final payment. She stated it appears the final payment for this project is actually being paid to another entity and asked for confirmation that releasing the final payment releases the City from any future debt to the contractor. Finance Director Beer advised that when this contract was executed, the contractor designated in a signed document that payments were to go directly to the surety company. The City was served with a lien so staff has been working with the surety and bond service on the amounts owned and they agreed that the amount going to the surety company will pay off the subcontractors who worked on this project. Finance Director Beer explained that once paid, the City is not responsible for IRS or other liens a subcontractor may have. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Stigney. To Approve Resolution 7398, Accepting the County Road 10 Trail, Segments 9 and 10 Project and Authorizing Final Payment. Council Member Gunn indicated she was also concerned whether the flooding problem had been fixed. Finance Director Beer stated they did additional grading and placed crushed rock to address that issue. Council Member Gunn asked what would happen if it floods again after making final payment. Finance Director Beer stated there have been substantial rains since the crushed rock was placed and been no problem with flooding. Mayor Flaherty stated he has not been reassured the low area has been fixed and asked whether there was a warranty. Finance Director Beer stated he was not sure the City could get a warranty but Mr. Ryan can be asked. He noted the repair work was discussed at the Council meeting last year. Council Member Mueller noted the company that worked on the trail is no longer in business so it is not realistic to think there would be a warranty. Finance Director Beer agreed and stated the City may be able to go back to the bonding company. He stated the check will not be issued until the Council's questions are satisfied. •
