Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by.Councilmember Kurak, to adopt the City of <br />Ramsey Non-Commercial Sign Policy on Placement of Election Signs to be in conformance with <br />state law., with the amendment as discussed relating to Gopher State One. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Cook, Kurak, Elvig, Pearson, <br />Strommen, and Zimmen-nan. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember Kurak requested staff to place the sign discussion on a <br />worksession soon. Councilmember Zimmerman commented the City's policy on these other <br />signs should be content neutral. Councilmember Cook replied the City could be neutral by <br />having an ordinance that allows signs to be up for a limited amount of time. Public Works <br />Director Kapler clarified that staff will still have the discretion to remove signs that are <br />obstructing view. <br /> <br />Case #23: Accept Change Order to Glen Rehbein Companies for Sunwood Drive NW <br /> and Rhinestone Street NW Improvement Project 03-29 <br />Public Works' Director Kapler explained this project was authorized for construction of MSA <br />streets in Ramsey Town Center. The work includes extension of trunk sanitary through the <br />Ramsey Town Center Project. The sanitary sewer pipe to be installed is 30 inches. The pipe was <br />connected to the existing system on the west side of Ramsey Boulevard at 143rd Avenue. The <br />existing line is 27 inches. This was known and it was planned that the line would need to be <br />changed to 30 inch pipe in the future. Ramsey Boulevard will be reconstructed in 2005. The <br />contractor had to dewater to install the new pipe for RamseY Town Center that connects to the <br />existing manhole. The contractor has the equipment and pipe onsite at this time. It seems logical <br />to replace the pipe under Ramsey Boulevard now while the contractor is onsite and before the <br />street is reconstructed rather than come back and dewater in 2005 for a short length of pipe. <br />There is additional 27 inch pipe on the east side of Ramsey Boulevard that will need to be <br />repl.aced in the future. Replacing this section of pipe now will eliminate the need to dig into the <br />newly reconstructed street. The Public Works Committee reviewed this item at their meeting on <br />June 15, 2004 and recommended forwarding this to the City Council for approval. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig noted there was a sag in the pipe between the lnanholes. With the rest of <br />the pipe to the west being 30 inches it made no sense to keep this pipe at 27 inches. The Public <br />Works Committee felt that $16,000 was a good buy at this time. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to adopt Resolution #04- <br />06-169 approving Change Order #1 to Improvement Project #03-29 in the amount of$16,84T20. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Elvig, Cook, Kurak, Pearson, <br />Strommen, and Zimmennan. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #24: Authorize Mayor and City Attorney to Sign Federal Transit Administration <br /> Assurance Form <br />City Attorney Goodrich reviewed that the City is seeking a Federal Grant from the Federal <br />Transit Administration ("FTA") for the construction of a park and ride facility in the Town <br />Center. He explained the FTA requires certain assurances by the City in order for it to approve <br />the grant. These include an assurance that the City will comply with all applicable Federal <br /> <br />City Council/June 22, 2004 <br />Page 29 of 31 <br /> <br />P97 <br /> <br /> <br />
