City Engineer Jankowski pointed out that the City had budgeted $10,000 for the Trunk Highway #47 Access/Corridor Study. We had solicited four proposals and a steering committee, comprised of the Road and Bridge Committee, City Administrator, City Engineer, Anoka County Engineer and MnDOT met to discuss the scope of the project plus review the proposals. The committee made a recommendation on what should be contained in the scope of the work and was asked to score the proposals based on five criteria. The firms scored very close and the determining factor appeared to be the cost. Strgar, Roscoe and Fausch (SRF) had the lowest bid. MnDOT indicated they are comfortable with performing some of the study. We would like to meet with the consultant to determine what MnDOT would be doing. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to retain SRF as the consultant to perform the Trunk Highway #47 Access/Corridor Study and also to meet with MnDOT to detemfine what portion of the study they will do. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Zimmerman, Beahen and Beyer. Voting No: None. 3) Status Report on Drainage Issue City Engineer Jankowski reported that the Road and Bridge Committee reviewed the list of drainage issues (14 issues expanded into 22 issues). A draft policy was presented that should be helpful to the City Attorney to devise a policy whereby the responsibility, or not, of the City will be determined with regard to drainage issues. We also discussed the septic field flooding at 6508 - 171st Lane N.W. The City Engineer and the Public Works Supervisor were directed to meet with Ms. Farber to discuss the options of this issue. He noted that no action by Council is necessary on this case.
