5.09: Review of Miscellaneous Storm Water Appurtenances in the Vicinity of Lake <br />Ramsey <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer reviewed the staff report. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated before the City owned the property, it had asked the contractor <br />to remove these items but that did not occur. Once the City became the property owner, he <br />recommended Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood be asked about use as <br />playground equipment. <br />Councilmember Elvig stated there may be use for these items at a skateboard park and asked if <br />the inventory could be used in City projects. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated these items are larger than what the City's <br />equipment can handle. <br />Interim Engineer Nelson advised there are some manhole pieces that could be used in the City' s <br />project but the manhole pipe itself is the wrong size. <br />Chairperson Backous asked who is the manufacturer. <br />Interim Engineer Nelson stated the manufacturer was asked but does not want the pipe. <br />Councilmember Elvig asked staff to be creative in what pieces can be stockpiled and reused, or <br />used in parks or for things like elevated gardens, or auctioned. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated he looked at the items and some are not usable in projects but <br />may be creatively used in parks. <br />Interim Engineer Nelson stated the Sunwood /Armstrong contractor was asked if any of the items <br />had value but they declined. He stated the items do not have a lot of value at auction but could <br />be maintained and when a COR project becomes available, it could be used. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated Bury & Carlson has equipment to move the bigger pieces and is <br />located near by. <br />Councilmember Elvig suggested Sauter & Sons also be contacted. <br />Chairperson Backous advocated to get rid of the items, noting the City did not purchase any of it. <br />Councilmember McGlone suggested Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood <br />be asked first. <br />Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember McGlone, to recommend that the <br />City Council declare storm water appurtenances in the vicinity of Lake Ramsey to be surplus <br />property, to ask Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood to provide a <br />Public Works Committee / September 18, 2012 <br />Page 14 of 16 <br />
