G.10 Approve Award of Quote for 147th Street Sidewalk Improvement Proiect The City solicited quotes for the sidewalk extension along 147th Street from Foxhill Avenue to Highway 61. This is the last section of sidewalk needed to complete the trail connection from the Sweet Grass Meadows and Rice Lake Meadows neighborhoods to the downtown area and the Hardwood Creek Trail. The City received two quotes with the low quote being submitted by Arnt Construction in the amount of $87,997.00. Staff has reviewed the quotes and recommends the Council award the 147th Street Sidewalk extension to Arnt Construction. G.11 Approve Resignation of Firefighters John Brockberg and Denise Jones Hugo Firefighters John Brockberg and Denise Jones have both submitted their letters of resignation from the Fire Department. Staff recommends Council approve the resignations of Brockberg and Jones effective January 17, 2017. G.12 Approve Resolution Approving the Pursuance of Agreement with MnDOT for Improvements to TH61/170th Street Roundabout Landscaping. In 2013, improvements were made to the TH61/170th Street intersection to include a roundabout and center island. The City has since questioned whether the improvements were constructed per plans and had contacted MnDOT in June of 2016 requesting an evaluation of it. It was found the island was not constructed as a mound nor maintained for a two year period as agreed. MnDOT has a Community Roadside Landscaping Partnership Program that would provide technical and financial assistance to fund up to $10,000 of the cost to re -landscape the roundabout. Staff recommends Council approve the resolution approving pursuance of a cooperative agreement for this program.
