Engineer Bearden explained the plan. He estimated the whole job
for construction costs would be $12,800. If you put the pipe in it
will be $400 more.
Councilman Baumgartner recommended putting the pipe in.
Councilman Shelquist asked if they were going to build the ditch up
over the pipe or what? Engineer Bearden replied that the ditch
would be filled about four feet. On the open ditch the cost
estimate includes sodding the soil. Every place that there is
an open ditch it will be all sodded. In a flat ditch it will
be seeded. There won't be any extensive slopes that will be
seeded. The Highway Dept. thought that maybe the pipe in there
would be the better answer. From this point on I doubt if it would
be 25 %, probably 15 %, depending on problems that may come along.
Councilman Shelquist stated that we ought to put the pipe in all
of the way between Long Lake Road and the southeast access because
the major concern is the danger of a car going into that ditch.
MSP (Shelquist- Baumgartner) to order the improvement identified as
the July 1976 revision of the preliminary report of May 1976 as
amended 7- 12 -76, accept the final plan and specifications for the
project, and instruct the administrator to advertise for bids to be
opened at 11:30 a.m. July 26.
Jerome Casey, 7750 Greenwood Drive, stated that your current intent
is to assess the shopping center?
Atty. Meyers stated that there is no other way unless they abandon
the whole project and start over.
Mr. Casey said that Attorney Frisch either said that they would be
willing to accept 100% if the price were lower, or at any cost they
would accept limited liability.
Atty. Meyers stated that it doesn't matter. The only question
before the court will be the assessment hearing. The Council prepares
a proposed assessment and has a public hearing on it and ultimately,
after reviewing it, adopts the assessment. Then they can appeal.
Mr. Casey stated that several of them are suing the shopping center
themselves and they don't want any action the Council will make that
will jeopardize them.
