the agreement. Apparently, the dredging project will not be started until mid to late March.
Attorney Warchol recommends a two-week deferral.
Alderman Kubacki expressed concern about the bond amount. He does not believe it is
adequate.
Alderman Borgman moved to allow comment from the audience. Alderman Kapusta
seconded. Motion carried 7 in favor.
Director Kroeger confirmed that both the City and contractor agree that the project cannot start
for several weeks. He stated that the lake level has come up three feet. A two-week deferral
will not pose a problem. The plan is to close the dam gates and remove the drawdown pipe
sometime in April. He does not foresee that the lake level will be lower than it is now.
ILM Contractor Rob Rinkenberger stated this will probably be more of a traditional dredging
project (barges will be used). Director Kroeger stated that all the specifics regarding how the
contractor will proceed and how any damage will be assessed is outlined in the agreement.
Alderman Kubacki moved to defer. Alderman Engelhardt seconded. Motion carried 7 in
favor.
