City Engineer Jay Kennedy and Senior Engineering Technician Steve Duff have reviewed the pay request and found it to be satisfactory for work completed to date on this project. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved Pay Request No. 1 to Amt Construction in the amount of $112,578.59 for work completed to date on the 147th Street Oneka Lake Boulevard street reconstruction project. Approve Resolution to Remove Interest on Assessment for Dee Davis Staff removed this from the agenda. At its October 3, 2011 meeting, Council approved a resolution to defer the special assessment on property owned by Dee Davis, which is located in the southwest corner of Hugo, west of Everton Avenue. Davis had requested the City remove the accrued interest to date on the assessment and that the property not be subject to further interest. Staff has prepared a resolution amending this provision. Dee Davis contacted staff and requested this be removed from the agenda. Renewal of Minim Permit for Dean Atkinson A public hearing had been scheduled to consider the renewal of the Atkinson Mining Permit for mining and excavation on their property located on the south side of 147th Street between Irish and Hyde Avenue. For the past several years, the site has been used to stockpile material, with no mining activity taking place. In 2012, the Council allowed the Atkinsons to move forward with the Mining Permit renewal process without all the conditions being met until the time mining operations begin again. The conditions not being met are the requirement to biannually provide a topographic map of the site, calculation of stockpiled material, amount of granular material left onsite to be mined, and a reclamation plan. The permit is required to be renewed every two years. City Administrator Bryan Bear recommended Council hold the public hearing and approve the renewal of the Atkinson Mining Permit. Mayor Weidt opened the public hearing. Mary Joan Gardner, 14481 Homestead Avenue North, had questions on the hours of operation, controls to minimize noise and dust, and dedicated haul routes. Bryan clarified that the permit has been in effect for a very long time but no mining was being done on the site except removal of the stockpiled material. The Atkinson family wished to maintain the right to mine. Bryan answered her questions, which were all addressed in the conditions of the mining permit. Bryan stated that the City was not anticipating any activity on the site, and all conditions and information would need to be updated if, and when, activity begins. Mike Atkinson, 6550 140th Street North, indicated the information Bryan shared was correct. There were no other comments, and Mayor Weidt closed the public hearing.
