Minutes of August 18, 1992 Regular MeetingROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 18, 1992 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, August 18, 1992, at 7:33 p.m. at the Rosemount City Hall in the Council Chambers. Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Klassen, Wippermann and Staats present. Councilmember Willcox was absent. Staff present were: Attorney Miles, Aker, Bechtold, Freese, Jilk, Knutsen, May, Osmundson, and Wasmund. Also in attendance were engineering consultants Brian Bourassa, P.E. from OSM and Dave Simons, P.E. from SEH. Mayor McMenomy led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. Additions to the agenda included Item 3.c Wachter Pond Discussion; 3,d U of M Presentation; and Item 6. h Jaycee and Erickson Rink Lighting. See Clerk's File 1992-34. Harold Wachter, a life long resident of Rosemount, now 81 years of age commented on the use of Wachter Pond for storm water runoff. Sand has washed into the pond from development causing a slow down to the normal seepage process. Mr. Wachter believes that it would be less expensive and make more sense to dig out O'Lea.ry's Pond than run 200 feet of pipe for storm water drainage to Wachter Pond. Public Works Director Wasmund said he would be happy to meet with Mr. Wachter or make a report to City Council. City Engineer Bud Osmundson noted there had been a wash out because of a broken storm drain outlet which caused erosion into Wachter Pond. City staff is investigating and is planning to take corrective action. Osmundson also noted that the amount of water run off to the pond would not be changed. The Mayor and Council thanked Mr. Wachter for his concern. City Administrator Jilk commented on the recent bid opening for the National Guard Armory/Community Center project. Knutson was apparent low bidder, however their bid was rejected. PCL was the next lowest bidder at $10.7 million and Adolf and Peterson, now second, at $11.1 million. The bids were divided into sections per project for direct comparisons. The Armory section was lower on the Adolf and Peterson bid, and the State is required to take the lowest bid. If the city would want to continue with the total package low bid, it would have to come up with funding for the difference on the Armory section. Several ways of funding are being explored by staff and city financial consultants at Springsted, Inc. One option would be to have the Port Authority borrow the money, build the project and then the City would lease back the Community Center. Attorney Miles asked Jilk if the Knutson bid could be challenged. Jilk replied that the State has total control of the bids and with the PCL bid actually being lower for the City section there would be no advantage to a challenge. There is a citizens committee in place for the Armory that will be making recommendations to the City Council at the September 1, 1992 meeting. Springsted will do an analysis of the arena and cash flow. ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 18, 1992 Director of Planning Lisa Freese reviewed a Interim Policy for Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) adopted by Metropolitan Council on June 25, 1992.
