NEW BUSINESS
Reso. #058-2007 - Acceptance of Proposal Between Giles Engineering and Ruekert
and Mielke for Sediment Testing and Award of Bid for Lakewood Meadows Detention
Pond Project. Atty. Molter expressed concerns. Why will the bid be awarded if there is
more engineering work to be done? Also, it has been past practice to award the bid and
levy the special assessment at the same meeting. City Administrator Sheiffer stated
there isn’t any additional engineering to be done, only the sediment testing. Ruekert &
Mielke included the costs for the testing in the preliminary assessment roll. It was
stated at the public hearing that the assessments would be levied based on final costs.
The Mayor stated that the project must be done because the location of the pond is so
close to the lake. Borgman moved for adoption. Buckmaster seconded. Motion
carried 6-0.
