City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • July 28, 1998 Page 9 1 Faust asked if the Sump Pump Inspection Program will be suspended. Mr. Morrison stated the 2 ordinance may need to be amended to reflect changes from the feasibility report. Also, meetings 3 with the Metropolitan Council staff may be needed to address use of grant funds. 4 Sandy Maxwell, 3504 Skycroft, asked how much the feasibility study will cost and how long it 5 will take. Mr. Janski stated it will take several months to do the feasibility report so it will be 6 ready before plans and specifications are put together. The cost of the original inspection project 7 was estimated at$85,000. The feasibility report is estimated at about$25,000 and the modified 8 I/I program at about$20,000, or one-half the original allocation for the Sump Pump Inspection 9 Program. The Sump Pump Inspection Program also included a$40,000 grant from the 10 Metropolitan Council so the City will need to talk with them to see if it is still available if the 11 focus is changed. 12 Ms. Maxwell expressed concern that the City may spend $25,000 for the feasibility report and 13 then find they have to do a Sump Pump Inspection Program anyway. 14 Cavanaugh explained that the sump pump reductions alone would not produce the needed results 15 so the drain tiles also need to be addressed. The City is trying to combine both and do it 16 concurrently. Mr. Janski stated the change in focus and allocating the funds towards the actual construction work is also a better use of resources. 18 Faust suggested the ordinance be addressed to see if it needs to be revised to reflect this change 19 in focus. Mr. Mornson concurred. 20 Motion carried unanimously 21 22 E. Resolution 98-062, re: Demolition of 2716 St. Anthony Boulevard. 23 It was noted that two proposals have been received for the complete demolition and removal of 24 the house at 2716 St. Anthony Boulevard as follows: DKH Excavating in the amount of$10,971 25 and Belair Excavating in the amount of$13,847.00 It was noted that Keys.Well Drilling will 26 perform the well abandonment with both bids and the bids include the water and sewer service 27 disconnection. 28 Motion by Marks, second by Thuesen to award the demolition and removal bid for the house at 29 2716 St. Anthony Boulevard to DKH Excavating in the amount of$10,971.00. 30 Cavanaugh asked if no one wanted to move the house. Mr. Morrison explained that moving the 31 house would cost more and this is the most effective option. 32 Motion carried unanimously F. Resolution 98-063, re: Purchase of 2713 St. Anthony Boulevard.
