Mayor Gamec stated that before the public hearing is held regarding the projects he suggested <br />that staff review those figures and talk to companies regarding the cost of oil, because if the cost <br />ends of being a certain percentage of what is initially proposed to the residents then another <br />public hearing is required. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen, to recommend that the City <br />Council direct staff to prepare a feasibility study for the 2001 Street Maintenance Program. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Anderson, Kurak, <br />and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #2: Update on Water Tower Lettering and Painting <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that on Tuesday, November 21, 2000 staff presented the Public <br />Works Committee several renderings of the paint scheme for the new water tower. The scheme <br />consisted of the single word "Ramsey" which was to be repeated at three locations on the tank. <br />The direction of the Committee was to have the wording modified to read "The City of Ramsey". <br />Consultant Bob Kollmer from AEC Engineering has prepared a revised lettering scheme which <br />was presented to the Committee for their review. The most significant impact for using "The <br />City of Ramsey" rather than "Ramsey" is that it increases the length of the wording along the <br />perimeter of the tank from 60 degrees to approximately 90 degrees. If three labels were to be <br />painted on the tank, there would be a 30-degree gap between labels. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson inquired if the tower would be painted white or off-white. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that it is proposed to be painted white. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson inquired if there is an additive that could be added to discourage <br />fungus growth. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the City could place a clear coat over the paint, but the <br />fungus growth is sometimes the function of how smooth the paint goes on. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if the existing water tower will be painted this year. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the existing water tower will be re-painted after the new <br />tank is in service, which should be in early July. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to recommend that <br />the City Council approve the proposed color scheme of the water tower as presented by staff. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Kurak, Anderson, <br />and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/January 16, 2001 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
