Public Works Director Olson reviewed that Pump House//3 was constructed with a <br />propane powered Auxiliary generator to provide power if regular electric service is interrupted. <br />Propane was chosen as the fuel source because natural gas service was not available to the site. <br />Thc Ramsey Town Center development has made natural gas service available to the site. The <br />City has applied to Center Point Energy for gas service. Staff has contacted the supplier of the <br />generator and requested pricing for converting the generator from propane to natural gas. The <br />estimated t~c is $3,000.

Truncated domes were adopted as the standard in the early 1990's then <br />implementation was suspended for ten years due to the maintenance concerns with the domes. <br />Snow removal equipment sheared off the domes, removing and replacing the panels was labor <br />intensive and might need to be done every year. He explained during the suspension the <br />standard practice for constructing pedestrian curb ramps was to install exposed aggregate on the <br />ramp surl"aces. The only exception to this practice was on Minnesota State Aid (MSA) projects <br />where state and/or federal money was involved. Truncated domes were installed on all projects <br />where I'ccleral money was included in the funding mechanism. The suspension expired in 2001 <br />ztl~¢t was not renewed.
