Further discussion: Councilmember Musgrove thanked the Council for its feedback. She stated <br />that she would not be supporting this as she has concerns with a hotel in this location guided for <br />retail, noting that it is not the same appeal to have a restaurant in a hotel rather than as a <br />standalone element. Mayor LeTourneau asked if the zoning for the site would be appropriate for <br />a hotel. Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that a hotel is a permitted use in <br />this zoning district. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Riley, Kuzma, Heinrich, and <br />Menth. Voting No: Councilmember Musgrove. <br />7.04: Adopt Resolution #19-242 Approving Temporary Contracted Inspection Assistance <br />with Rum River Construction Consultants <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation to <br />approve a professional services contract with Rum River Construction Consultants to supplement <br />existing contracted inspections with Inspectron, Inc. <br />Councilmember Riley asked for additional information on the rush to get this completed. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that footings and foundations become critical <br />prior to the colder weather and ground conditions. He explained that large costs can be added for <br />winter construction if those elements are not in the ground within the proper amount of time. <br />Motion by Councilmember Musgrove, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to Adopt Resolution <br />#19-242 Approving Professional Services Contract with Rum River Construction Consultants. <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Riley commented that this is a good use of contracted <br />services rather than requesting to add additional staff for cyclical needs. Mayor LeTourneau <br />noted that ultimately the builder will pay the cost to have these services. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Musgrove, Riley, Heinrich, <br />Kuzma, and Menth. Voting No: None. <br />7.02: Adopt Resolution #19-233 Approving Plans and Specifications and Authorizing <br />Advertisements for Bids for Improvement Project #19-06, Ramsey Town Center 9th <br />Addition Pond Lining Improvements <br />City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Resolution #19- <br />233 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for Improvement <br />Project #19-06, Ramsey Town Center 9th Addition Pond Lining Improvements. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that the Public Works Committee also discussed the option of <br />filling the pond in and asked staff for additional input. <br />City Council / September 24, 2019 <br />Page 10 of 14 <br />
