Mayor Reimann stated he had no problem giving the $500.00 to RYAA to get the job done properly. Medand Otto stated that maybe the contractor would do the entire job (seeding, fertilizing, etc.) for a price near the $900.00. Ms. Swanson stated the volunteers can do all the other work and the only thing she wants money for is to get the seeding done. Mr. Hartley commented that he feels it is important for people in the community to take part and be involved. Motion by Councilmember Pearson and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to spend $500.00 donated by the City and $400.00 donated by RYAA to get the seeding done on the new fields in Central Park. Further Discussion: Councilmember DeLuca asked what if the person who is going to do the seeding decides the job should be $1,200.00 versus $900.00 since nothing is in writing at this point.. Ms. Swanson stated that she'd have him sign a contract stating that $900.00 is the fee he expects for the services rendered. The ballfields will be seeded at 200g per acre and the volunteers will do the mulching, fertilizing, etc. Mayor Reimann thanked Bev Swanson for RYAA's donation of the $400.00 and also the donation of time and remarked on the good job she is doing.

Case #11: Decentralized Brush Chipping Program Sandra Ashley stated that the second year of the Decentralized Brush Chipping Program, funded by Metropolitan Council is drawing to a close. However, not all the residents who signed up for this program have been served and the contractor, Outside Services, estimates an additional 76 hours will be required to complete this year's program. Ms. Ashley explained that the City Council approved a total amount for this program of $24,000.00 and the contract was awarded for an amount of $20,000.00. With the additional time requested, the amount is increased from $20,000.00 to $22,850.00 which is still under the budgeted amount of $24,000.00. Ms. Ashley stated that staff recommends the chipping service contract be increased to an amount not-to-exceed $23,000.00 to assure all residents that signed up for the program are served. Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to adopt Resolution g90-09-320 authorizing an increase in the contract for the brush chipping services to an amount not-to-exceed $23,000.00. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmember Cich, Pearson, DeLuca and Peterson. Voting No: None. City Council/September 25, 1990 Page 16 of 20
