Excerpt of PW minutes inadvertently left out of packet. Related to Council case 7.2. <br />Kurt <br />From: Brian Olson <br />Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2011 4:41 PM <br />To: Kurt Ulrich <br />Subject: PW minutes excerpt from May PW committee <br />Here is an excerpt of the minutes, from the June PW Committee. Can you please Bcc all City Councilmembers. I assume <br />you have a group to make it easier. <br />Case #2: Consider Installing Permanent Power for Happy Days Celebration <br />Public Works Director Olson reviewed the staff report. He noted he does not have a fuel cost. <br />He explained Connexus gave a preliminary estimate and it could change when the fixed costs come in. <br />Mayor Ramsey clarified the area under discussion. He said he could see where a generator would be needed at the <br />stage area, and one near the food vendors. He added the issue with having one where the carnival would be is that <br />there is not enough power fora carnival anyway. <br />Richard Chubb, Happy Days Chair, noted there is no carnival this year. The third generator would be for the inflatables. <br />Mayor Ramsey suggested having two, 200 amp services. <br />Chairperson McGlone stated his concern is with the cost of $13,000 and running three lines. He asked if a heavier line <br />could be run and lessen the cost. He also expressed concern with having a generator on both sides of a street that does <br />not exist yet. Developments would change the landscape, and the landscape would change the event. He suggested <br />putting the service in across the street, with a speedbump over the wire. <br />Discussion took place regarding the type of service needed and possible locations. <br />Mayor Ramsey said he would like to see what the configuration would look like. <br />Public Works Director Olson offered to show the Council what it would look like at the June Council meeting when the <br />Council discusses the item. He explained they would look much like what is at campgrounds for power. <br />Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Mayor Ramsey, to recommend that the City Council consider approval of <br />installing permanent power of either 400 amp service in one location, or 200 amp service in 2 locations, dependent on <br />further research, on the east side. <br />1 <br />
