Committee/Staff Input Staff Updates on Improvement Projects and Items of Interest: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee for City Council to cancel the December meeting. Purpose/Background: 1. Consider Replacing Monument and Shelter Roof at Rivers' Bend Park and HVAC Replacement at Central: Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that the purpose of this case is to consider a recommendation to City Council for authorization to perform maintenance/replacement activity for two structures at Rivers' Bend Park, and one of three HVAC systems at Central Park's buildings. Funding is request to be allocated from the City's Capital Maintenance Fund (not the Park Trust Fund) and therefore is being brought to the Public Works Committee, because the project funding source is limited, and also to be used for other (non -park) capital maintenance needs of the community. In 2017, the Council expanded the scope of this fund (previously entitled Park Maintenance Fund) to allow use for other non -park capital maintenance needs. The facilities this case discusses may be considered higher priority maintenance items. Motion for City Council to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee for the replacement of the HVAC system at Central Park, and roof shelter at Rivers' Bend Park as discussed, at a not to exceed cost of $33,000 from the Capital Maintenance Fund. 2. Consider Recommending City Council Approval to Solicit Requests for Proposals to Prepare Plans and Specifications for Bunker Lake Boulevard/CSAH 116 Improvements, Improvement Project #20-03: City Engineer Westby stated that the purpose of this case is to consider recommending City Council approval to solicit Requests for Proposals to prepare plans and specifications for Bunker Lake Boulevard/CSAH 116 Improvements, Improvement Project #20-03. In April of 2005, a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) was executed between the City of Ramsey and Anoka County defining required public works improvements related to the Ramsey Town Center development, now referred to as The COR. Two amendments have been executed since, one in February of 2009, and the other in February of 2012. A copy of the JPA, including the two amendments were included in the case. Motion for City Council to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee to direct staff to gather additional information on the history on the conditions of the JPA and discuss options with Anoka County related to renegotiating the JPA, working together to find efficiencies, and opportunities for an additional access onto Bunker Lake Boulevard.
