Development Manager Lazan stated there is no power west of Zeolite. He explained that <br />Connexus was asked for a bid to provide power so if the project came in under bid, it could be <br />considered. Now Connexus has realized the number they provided was incorrect and the actual <br />number is higher. The cost under consideration is to extend power to trees west of Zeolite where <br />there are no receptacles. He noted this is not a hardscaped section as in front of City Hall so he <br />did not think it was as critical to have power to every tree. <br />Mayor Ramsey asked about piping music into that area. <br />Development Manager Lazan recommended music be only piped to the COR ONE area. <br />Councilmember Wise stated he did not support the extra cost, noting you can also get power <br />from the poles. <br />Councilmember Backous agreed it would never be cheaper or easier than to do it now but it is a <br />"want" versus a "need." He stated if the cost were half this amount, he may consider it. <br />Interim Engineer Nelson stated the cost per outlet is the same as the original proposal but this <br />would add receptacles. <br />Development Manager Lazan noted the total cost for receptacles is probably $50,000 with what <br />was included in the bid plus this additional cost. <br />Councilmember Elvig arrived at 5:53 p.m. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated you need to envision what it will look like if this section does not have lit <br />trees and indicated he would not support this additional cost. <br />Interim Engineer Nelson stated he was unsure whether the work included in the bid has already <br />been started but thinks most of the cable is installed to service the original 33 receptacles. <br />Councilmember Wise asked about the location of the original 33 receptacles. <br />Development Manager Lazan stated those locations can be designated. <br />Councilmember McGlone noted there will be a monument sign on the Armstrong Boulevard <br />side, the gateway into the project, whether or not urban streetscape. He asked about installing <br />the contract receptacles at the entry up to the round about, provided there is no extra cost. <br />Mayor Ramsey asked staff to find out how much is already installed and utilize what has been <br />allocated at the entry. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated he would support an additional $1,000 if needed for one or two <br />tree receptacles to complete the area. <br />City Council Work Session / October 9, 2012 <br />Page 3 of 8 <br />
