LARRY MARTIN, City Attorney; MAXINE ANDERSON, City Clerk;
BRAD COLLINS, Planning Director; DON MORRISON, City
Administrator; DON PIERCE, Police Chief; DON WILLIAMS, Parks
and Recreation Director.
Don Williams, Parks and Recreation Director, explained that
the two projects are more involved than a normal award
because of the financing and funding. The first project is
the Foster Park Drainage. He recommended the award go to the
low bidder, Robertson Landscaping, including one alternate
for the irrigation system. However, there are insufficient
funds to pay the contractor, so a budget transfer is
necessary. They are recommending that $13,000 be transferred
from Land Acquisition, Building and Development Fund (Dike
Construction Monies) to the Foster Park Drainage Project.
Mr. Williams explained that the City is receiving $20,000 in
Block Grant Funds and eventually, the Budget will have to be
amended to appropriate these funds to also be used for this
project. The total of all funds is $51,149.
Council President Bauch asked the Attorney if the bid could
be awarded if the money is not in the budget.
Attorney Martin said Council is authorized to award the bid
provided there is sufficient security so that you can come up
with the funding.
Mr. Williams explained that in the second project,
Christensen Trail Award, part is dike work and part trail
construction. These have to be kept separate because I.A.C.
won't pay for dike work.
Councilman Bohrer said he wants to see the Christensen Trail
go forward. Mr. Williams said that there will sufficient
funds to do the specific dike work requested at this time.
The work to be done is to raise the eight thousand foot trail
to the One- Hundred Year Flood level and pave the trail. At a
later time a concrete retainer wall will be installed to make
it two feet above the One- Hundred Year Flood Plain. It will
not be necessary to come back to Council for additional
funds.
