City Council meeting of July 6, 1999 Page 3 to 5 ft tall, 6 to 8 ft long. Typically, the City will not charge U.S. West for locating its equipment in City right-of-way, though this does not require an Easement Agreement. In this case, the proposed location of the switch box will be off of right-of-way, yet on City -owned property. Council member Barnes stated that the City should be a "good" neighbor and somehow screen the facility from the residential area. The Gardens owner, Robert Bilotta, has offered to donate some his stock for this purpose. Barnes made motion, Stoltzman seconded, authorizing staff to proceed with the Easement Agreement with U.S. West, and draft a letter requesting U.S. West's participation in some landscaping for the facility. All aye. Motion Carried. PAYMENT OF FENWAY BLVD LIGHTING The Council considered a claim made by NSP in the amount of $173,900 for the installation of 70, 150 - watt high pressure sodium street lights along Fenway Blvd, and four, 400 -watt street lights around the parking lot of the new Fire Hall. This claim is in accordance with the contract entered into between the City and NSP on May 28, 1998, and represents payment in full for the installation of these lights. NSP will be making a second claim, in the future, in the amount of $37,800 for the street lights being installed on Fenway Avenue, between 140th and 142nd Street. Council member Petryk questioned from what funds payment would be made. The Administrator stated that payment would be reimbursable from Minnesota State Aid funds. Petryk made motion, Stotlzman seconded, to approve payment to NSP for the street lights constructed on Fenway Blvd and the Fire Hall site, in the amount of $173,900. All aye. Motion Carried.
