VI. Old Business:
A. Mill and Overlay Analysis: City Administrator Johnson reported that in
December 2008 the City Council directed the City Engineer to develop a
plan that outlined possible areas where a mill and overlay of certain streets
would be plausible to a ten to 15 year solution for surface quality as
opposed to full reconstruction. He reported that it was anticipated that no
major water, sewer or storm utilities would need to be addressed in those
areas. Johnson reported there are four potential funding sources noted in
the council packet for a mill and overlay project.
City Engineer Postler reviewed the analysis conducted by Bonestroo. He
recommended that areas with a 5 or 5/6 rating have a mill and overlay. He
stated that the Brekke Heights neighborhood could use a total pavement
removal and replacement. Mayor Beaudet stated it makes sense to mill
and overlay the Brekke Park parking lot at this time. Mayor Beaudet
suggested adding 58 Street from Highway 5 to just past the second
driveway to the high school. City Engineer Postler stated he believed that
section was completed in 1995. Councilmember McComber questioned
whether pavement made from recycled tires could be used in the Brekke
Park parking lot. Postler stated he would look into that.
Mayor Beaudet, seconded by Councilmember Abrahamson, moved that
City Engineer Postler start construction documentation for the Brekke
Park parking lot and the mill and overlay activity on 60 Street Court,
Norell Avenue North — west side, 58th Street North, Osman Avenue and
Oren Avenue, and report back to the council on Brekke Heights
neighborhood options at the next council meeting. Mayor Beaudet also
requested Postler report back on doing the end of 58 Street. Carried 4 -0.
Mayor Beaudet also requested Postler have a schedule for the council to
approve.
B. City Hall Facility: Mayor Beaudet reported that a prequalification process
was discussed at an earlier worksession. He reported that the City plans to
pick contractors that meet prequalification in early March with bids being
due March 31.
Councilmember McComber, seconded by Councilmember Runk, moved
. to approve the prequalification process as recommended by staff. Carried
4 -0.
