<br />Councilmember Dehen stated that he is in favor of providing Ramsey with an access for a boat <br />landing and fishing pier. He asked if there was any way the City can encourage the County to <br />proceed with a feasibility study. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood stated that the $18,000 is a small "carrot" for the County along with <br />an official resolution. He noted that they need to hear from the City about the importance that <br />access in Ramsey be considered. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Ramsey, seconded by Councilmember Dehen, to adopt Resolution #09-03- <br />065, supporting a feasibility study for the development of a boat landing and fishing <br />opportunities within Mississippi Regional Park. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Ramsey, Councilmembers Dehen, Jeffrey, Look, McGlone, <br />and Wise. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Elvig. <br /> <br />Case #4: <br /> <br />Consider Resolution #09-XXX Authorizing the Construction of Sunfish Lake <br />Park and Trail and Entering Into a Contract with American Liberty <br />Construction, Inc. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood presented the staff report and reviewed the bids received. He noted <br />the low bidder was American Liberty Construction, Inc. at $229,501.19 with an alternate bid of <br />$58, 088.62 and noted that Julian Johnson Construction Corporation of Ramsey is one of the <br />subcontractors for this project. He reviewed his spreadsheet that outlined the funding <br />source/dollar amount, activity/improvement and the recipient. He stated that they are suggesting <br />that construction of the boardwalk and T dock into the lake be done in-house, which is what the <br />alternate bid covered. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that there were comments received from the public on why the City <br />would spend money on a park in this economy. He stated that he thinks it is important for <br />residents to know that the residents of Village of Sunfish Lake have already paid money for the <br />park and it isn't necessarily coming out ofthe General Fund. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood distributed information he put together on how much money a. <br />family could save per year if they took just one trip to Sunfish Lake Park rather than a different <br />recreational activity elsewhere in the area. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Look, seconded by Councilmember Dehen, to adopt Resolution #09- <br />03-066 awarding Improvement Project #08-22, Sunfish Lake Park and Trail Project and <br />authorizing entering into a contract with American Liberty Construction, Inc. <br /> <br />Motion carried. V oting Yes: Mayor Ramsey and Councilmember Look, Dehen, Jeffrey, <br />McGlone, and Wise. Voting No: None.
