would be charged.

Motion , to recommend that the City Council approve the Policy for the Disposition of Surplus Wood and Tree Waste, with the policy brought back to this Committee for updates annually. Case #3: Consider Update on Retro Fitting of Public Works Lighting Background: At the January 18th Public Works Committee meeting, staff presented a proposal from AID Electric to retro fit the lighting at the Public Works campus (this was the apparent low quote from the three quotes we received before that meeting). This proposal calls for replacing the current fixtures (metal halide and T12 fluorescents) with T-8 fluorescent bulbs and ballasts, with motion sensors attached to some of the fixtures. The direction received at that January Public Works Committee meeting was to research LED lighting. Staff presented a graph that runs through the lifespan of LED versus fluorescents versus doing nothing. Since the Public Works Committee meeting, there has been questions about the warranties of the products that were quoted as part of the retrofitting of the lighting at the Public Works facility. Aid Electric has assured us that all the products that were quoted meet Connexus warrantee requirement for rebates (bulbs and ballasts 3 years). Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the project and contracting with AID Electric for installation of the fluorescent option and that the AID proposal be further modified to require disposal of all fixtures as described in the vehicle storage building. Case #4: Discuss Trail Construction in Conjunction with an Overlay to Alpine Drive near Alpine Park Staff explained they are preparing a project for the bituminous overlay of Alpine Drive, from Ramsey Boulevard to Sunfish Lake Boulevard, for construction this year. The plans have yet to be developed, and are coordinating the project scope with Anoka County due to their signalization project at Sunfish Lake Boulevard and Alpine Drive. Staff is asking for feedback from the Council on whether a trail and/or sidewalk should be included in the overall project scope before we get too far along in the design and MSA review process. Motion to recommend to the City Council that Staff split the project into two projects as needed. Phase 1 being the necessary overlay of Alpine Drive from approximately the skate park location within Alpine Park to Ramsey Boulevard, to be completed in 2011. Phase 2 would include maintenance needs on the remainder of Alpine Drive to Sunfish Lake Boulevard and include within the project scope a possible trail connection between Alpine Park and Central Park, which can potentially be accomplished easier due to the recently completed boardwalk from Sweetbay Ridge.
