Councilmember Rowley stated she felt the planter would be more headaches than
it would be worth and she would rather see shrubby around the base if the
sign appears too stark. Councilmember Shelquist agreed because the planter
may detract from the sign.
MSP (Shelquist - Pickar) to authorize the Staff to call for bids on the City
sign as presented tonight omitting the planter and have the bids opened at
11:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 21, 1976 5 ayes
PROPOSED EXTENSION OF WATER SERVICE TO GREENFIELD PARK
Mayor Pickar stated that the Staff recommends delaying installation of
water lines until next year because other funds may be available through
the Public Works Bill. For the 1976 -77 skating season, the City of New
Brighton has agreed to flood Greenfield Skating rink at least twice per
week at a rate of $12.00 per hour. The estimated total expenditure for '
this service is $400.
MSP (Pickar- Hodges) to accept the Staff recommendation to delay installation
of the water service and contract with the City of New Brighton for flooding
the rink for the 1976 -77 skating season.
Engineer Hubbard explained that if the City went out for bids now they
probably would not be competitive this late in the year. 5 ayes
ENGINEER HUBBARD'S REPORT. Engineer Hubbard stated that at the end of last
week during the close of the hydrant flushing, we found a high volume of
sand in Well #4. He suggested this well be shut down. He stated he would
like authorization to have this pump pulled and investigated which could
cost from $3,000 to $5,000. If rebailing is necessary, the cost could be
from $10,000 to $20,000. Engineer Hubbard explained that it was really
hard to estimate the cost before he knows what is wrong.
MSP (Shelquist- Rowley) to authorize the Engineer to obtain quotations for
pulling the pump and investigating Well # #4 located at Hillview and Edgewood. 5 ayes
