City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 22, 1997 Page 12 1 Mornson reported the contractor anticipates starting on July 14 with a completion date of 2 October 20. There has been more asbestos discovered on the site and this has been removed 3 at a cost of $4,700. There is a tire conveyor belt which needs to be relocated. The 4 possibility of demolishing it in its current location-and building another is being considered. 5 This will be discussed at the next Council meeting. 6 2. City Hall Update. 7 Mornson reported the parking lot has been completed. He will be meeting with the contractor 8 and the HVAC installer who will be bringing manuals and working with the Public Works 9 Department to iron out all the problems. 10 Mornson reported three tanks were discovered at the Parkview building. One tank had been 11 leaking contamination 20 feet deep. This will delay the demolition by approximately two 12 weeks. It is Braun's opinion that it may be possible to leave the contamination on the site 13 and place the tennis courts over the area. This would require PCA approval. If it has to be 14 hauled away it will result in additional expense. 15 3. Silver Lake Bridge Update. 16 Mornson reported Dan Solar and the engineer from TKDA will be present at the September 9 17 Council meeting to discuss this project. In conjunction with this project the City will replace 18 the sidewalk on the west side of the street at City cost. The City will also relocate the water 19 line to the west side of the road. It currently sits down the middle of the road and presents a 20 maintenance difficulty. This is a 100% City cost and would be funded by the Water Fund. 21 The Council needs to consider if they want a sidewalk on the east side, the design of the 22 bridge railing, and any other items they would like added to the project, such as lighting, 23 landscaping, and decorative medium. 24 Mornson reported the City has $100,000 set aside in the TIF budget for infrastructure 25 improvements, such as landscaping, lighting, etc. In addition, there is $140,000 in MSA 26 funds for the sidewalk, etc. The water main replacement will come out of the Water Fund. 27 The engineer has stated that this budget is adequate for the project. 28 4.
