He explained, because St. Anthony has aggressive clay soil, utilities <br />break down quicker as opposed to cities with sandy soil. He stated if the aged utilities are left in, <br />maintenance and repair costs would go up consistently. <br />Mayor Faust reminded the Council this is a feasibility study and if it comes back as not being <br />feasible, rejecting it is an option. <br />Motion by Councilmember Thuesen, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to approve Resolution <br />06 -068; a Resolution ordering preparation of a feasibility report for 2007 street and utility <br />improvements. <br />Motion carried unanimously <br />F. General Engineering Update <br />Mr. Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates, Inc, summarized the status of general engineering <br />projects within the City. These projects include: the 2005 Street Reconstruction Project, 2006 <br />Street Reconstruction Project, and Automated Water Meters. <br />Mr. Hubmer reported the 2005 Street Reconstruction Project is complete. He informed residents <br />if there are issues they feel have not been addressed, to please contact him or Mr. Hartman. <br />Mr. Hubmer reported the 2006 Street Reconstruction Project is nearing completion. He stated the <br />contractor completed all utility work, curb and gutter, street paving and is currently placing <br />topsoil and sod for the final restoration of the project. Mr. Hubmer stated he anticipates <br />completion by August 11. <br />Mr. Hubmer indicated perennials, topsoil, seeding, and landscaping in front of the Village Pub <br />would be completed as soon as the irrigation is in. Mr. Hubmer reported the sidewalk is in and <br />the asphalt repaired in front of the Montessori. <br />Mr. Hubmer reported two new technologies with automated water meters have popped up. He <br />stated he would meet with a company with remote reading capabilities. He indicated there is a <br />cost savings associated with this technology. Mr. Hubmer anticipates bid packages would be out <br />in the next three weeks. <br />Mr. Hubmer informed the Council he had been in contact with a provider of sump pump <br />inspection and installation services. Mr. Hubmer said the value added is this company knows <br />what they are looking for and it would be more economical to do both services at the same time. <br />Councilmember Thuesen stated in regards to the 2005 street reconstructs, the sod replaced on <br />some of the cutouts is bad. He asked Mr. Hubmer drive around and look at the condition of the <br />sod before this project is closed. <br />
