PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br />The Public Works Committee conducted a regular meeting on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, at <br />the Ramsey Municipal Center, 7550 Sunwood Drive NW, Ramsey, Minnesota. <br />Members Present: <br />Also Present: <br />Chairperson Mark Kuzma <br />Councilmember Jeff Menth <br />Councilmember Chris Riley <br />Public Works Superintendent Grant Riemer <br />City Engineer Bruce Westby <br />Deputy City Administrator Tim Gladhill <br />City Administrator Kurt Ulrich <br />5.05: Consider Recommendation to City Council to Accept Feasibility Report for 2020 <br />Pavement Overlay Improvements, Improvement Project No. 20-02 <br />City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report. <br />Councilmember Menth asked the amount of funding that was available when the Committee first <br />reviewed this case. <br />City Engineer Westby replied that there is currently $811,000 in the fund but after the unpaid <br />project costs for the two 2019 street reconstruction projects are taken from that account, the <br />available balance would be about $775,000. <br />Councilmember Menth commented that it was his belief that one of the three project areas would <br />be selected, as the Feasibility Reports have already been completed, rather than selecting a <br />different road without a Feasibility Report. <br />City Engineer Westby stated that his understanding of the Committee's motion from January was <br />for Staff to present updated cost estimates at this meeting. He noted that the motion also <br />included staff bringing back alternative options identified in the current CIP that could be <br />completed with the available funding. <br />Chairperson Kuzma asked if letters were already sent to property owners on the streets identified <br />to receive overlays in 2020 per the current CIP stating that the project would be completed. <br />City Engineer Westby replied that such letters had been mailed but that a second letter was also <br />sent noting that the pavement conditions would not support a standard mill and overlay so more <br />extensive repairs would be required and that it would be most cost-effective to complete those <br />repairs in the future. He also noted that the letter stated the property owners would receive <br />another letter if improvements were ultimately proposed on their streets in 2020. <br />Public Works Committee / February 18, 2020 <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
