A discussion ensued regarding the specs for park maintenance. <br />C~uncilmember Cox stated that contractors don't feel comfortable bidding on <br />complex specs. Councilmember DeLuca agreed with the specs indicating the <br />level of maintenance that will be required at each park but suggested that <br />the requirements on the bidder be reduced. <br /> <br />Based on Council discussion, Mr. Hartley stated that he would rewrite the <br />specs for park maintenance as follows: a) reduce insurability, client <br />references and organizational data requirements on bidders; b) categorize <br />all parks by desired level of maintenance; c) divide the city in half and <br />prepare a balanced package for two sets of park maintenance specs. <br /> <br />¢~se #14: South Of U.S~ Highway #10 Utilities: Elofs.on~..Nagele Sign <br /> Company: <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that the City is in the process of acquiring fee title <br />to an 80 foot wide street right-of-way for the extension of Sunfish Lake <br />Blvd. N.W. south of U.S. Hwy. #10 from Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Elofson. A <br />portion of that property is leased to Nagele Sign Company for an <br />advertising sign until May 15, 1991. If the sign is removed, the City <br />could be in a position of paying for 3 years of revenue from the sign. An <br />agreement has been proposed with the Elofsons to move the sign to the <br />western edge of the property, with the sign becoming 2-sided and extending <br />the lease for 3 years. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Sorteberg and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to <br />approve relocating the advertising sign to the western edge of the Elofson <br />property, subject to the City's appropriate setbacks; allowing the sign to <br />become two-sided; allowing the lease term to be extended to expire <br />September 1, 1994; and the Elofson's collecting the sign rental. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Council requested that Mr. Hartley pursue having <br />'Welcome to Ramsey' noted on the advertising sign. Councilmember Pearson <br />stated that after acquiring road right-of-way, the City would own the <br />property on which the sign is located and the lease; it would then be the <br />City's option to cease the lease. Mr. Goodrich replied that if Nagele <br />loses it's right to have a sign by the City's aoquisition of right-of-way, <br />Nagele can request the city to compensate the projected revenues for the <br />term of the lease. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

Voting No: None . <br /> <br />Case. ~15: Recommendation To Rename Landfill Commission: <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Sorteberg and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to <br />remane the Landfill Commission to the "Ramsey Environment, Health, and <br />Sol id Waste Commission". <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember DeLuca inquired if the terminolgy in the <br />proposed title, 'environment' and 'health', implies the City is responsible <br />and liable for health and environmental issues. Mr. Hartley replied that <br />May 3, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 6 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
