Resolution 6874 Approving a Letter Agreement with the firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, and Associates to Assist the City with a Traffic Study of the Northwest Area of the City. Director Lee reported this issue was brought up at July 10~' and at that time the estimated cost was $43,420, which was not approved. Director Lee presented the Council with a revised proposal with a reduced cost estimate of $28,850. Director Lee explained the changes. He suggested reducing project meetings from four to two under Task One, and to reduce Bonestroo personnel from three to two. He explained that under Task Three, it has been suggested to delete the orientation and destination study for Groveland and Eastwood Drive. He suggested the City reduce number of site visits, reduce alternates from six to three, and for Task 10 and 11, reduce the number of meetings. He stated the Council could hold a work session/neighborhood meeting, and have Staff vs. Consultants present the final report. Councilmember Flaherty returned at 10:05 p.m. David Jahnke, 8428 Eastwood Road, asked who requested the traffic study. He stated traffic has not changed too much and suggested the traffic study be done when Medtronic is finished. He stated he does not understand why it would be done now and believes it should be done when Medtronic is finished. Mayor Marty stated the study is more involved. He stated that he would rather run traffic counters across the streets and then determine traffic after Medtronic is finished. Mr. Jahnke agreed. Councilmember Gunn stated that residents requested the traffic count. She asked if the purpose of the study is to determine what is going on regarding traffic in the City, and asked what the City will do with the numbers once they get them. Director Lee addressed the Medtronic question and stated there was a traffic study done as part of the Medtronic development. He stated that those projected numbers would be incorporated into the proposed traffic study. He stated that waiting would cost more money to do changes to • certain areas so that the roads are done before Medtronic is in. He stated the study would determine what needed to be done as far as Medtronic is concerned.
