Mr.Soler did not recall that colored concrete-was-part of the discussions 8 and is not provided for in the current plan. 9 Marks mentioned that there is an existing agreement between Ramsey County and the City of St. 10 Anthony with respect to snow removal on the sidewalks. Mr. Soler stated he would return to that 11 topic of discussion when the agreement was addressed. 12 Cavanaugh asked Mr. Soler about the catch basins and if the drainage was tied into Silver Lake. 13 Mr. Soler was not sure, but stated that he did a lot of work on the other Silver Lake Road project 14 and remembers that from Silver Lane to the North, that the storm sewer there basically edged to the North near County E, and comes back to the South through the series of ponds that were built on the Salvation Army Property before Silver Lake. In other words, the drainage pattern as it is 17 today would continue to be the drainage pattern after the project. 18 Mr. Soler presented a cost estimate and reviewed in detail the costs associated with street light- 19 ing, sidewalk, bridge, watermain, and preliminary engineering and construction engineering fees. 20 Mr. Soler pointed out that the agreement between Ramsey County and the City of St. Anthony 21 does not specifically address snow removal on the bridge. 22 Marks said the City has experienced problems in the past in getting expedient snow removal 23 from the County. Ranallo suggested that Mr. Soler and Mr. Hartman work out an agreement on 24 how to accomplish satisfactory snow removal. 25 Faust agreed with Marks and expressed concern about responsibility for snow removal. Mr. 26 Soler stated that the County plowed,280 miles of roadway and is not always as expeditious about 27 snow removal as is preferred. He stated that he would ask the County's maintenance division to 28 work out an agreement with Mr. Hartman so that all parties will be satisfied. 29 Cavanaugh asked if the lighting would be from Silver Lane to 37th. Mr. Soler replied that was 30 correct. 0 Cavanaugh questioned the necessity of the watermain portion of the project.
