John Busak and Bob Kollmer were present to make a presentation to the Committee on various styles of water towers and to answer question on issues affecting costs. The Committee received manufacturers' brochures on tank styles and decorative paintings. (These brochures have also been made available to the rest of City Council.) The Committee provided the consultants with the following direction in preparing plans and specifications: 1) Bids should allow for a water sphere.id (the style of the existing Ramsey tower) and the hydropillar style (the style used by Champlin). 2) A three-color painting scheme might be anticipated. (A logo rendering will need to be determined prior to bidding, anticipated for April 2000.) 3) Bids should be received for two completion dates: Late Fall 2001 and early Summer 2001. The Council can then evaluate the cost of completion in order to have the tank serviceable to meet the demands of Summer 2001. Council Action: None required. Case #2: Update on Storm Water Utility Implementation Staff reported that the storm water utility ordinance will take effect March 6, 2000, and that the first quarter billing would best be delayed. The Committee directed that the first quarter billing be either incorporated into the second quarter billing or be eliminated, depending on the logistics and cost associated with the billing process. The Committee also provided direction and/or concurrence with staff on several technical points relative to the implementation of the utility, specifically as it would pertain to non-residential customers. Council Action: None required.
