City Engineer Westby replied no, that is the forced main system for the end lots and it wouldn't <br /> work for those businesses that need larger sewer and more water. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked if he heard correctly that the County could help with engineering. <br /> Mr. Orcutt confirmed this but stated they needed the expertise of City Engineer Westby who knows <br /> the needs specific to Ramsey. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked if option two was Mr. Orcutt's recommendation. <br /> Mr. Orcutt confirmed this,adding he personally thought it is the most logical and doable and solves <br /> the majority of the problems without creating additional problems. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked City Engineer Westby if he agreed that option two was the best <br /> option and does that help solve some of the problem with the hook up with regard to where the <br /> curbs and gutters hook up. <br /> City Engineer Westby replied option two would be his preference, especially with the trench <br /> settlements. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked Mr. Orcutt if they would get the most dollars from the project <br /> itself. <br /> Mr. Orcutt replied correct, adding if it can be built correctly it will provide a long-term service to <br /> the City. He recommended option two. <br /> Councilmember Specht asked if Council chooses number two, they would want to notify the <br /> businesses that they will be affected before the 2024 construction, even as early as the meeting <br /> tomorrow morning. <br /> Mr. Orcutt stated there will be a temporary signal which they haven't had before, so they will have <br /> the most direct access they have ever had before. <br /> Mayor Kuzma expressed concern about number one because that seems like a hinge point as far <br /> as getting things done too. He asked if they are saying they should be considering options one and <br /> two. <br /> Mr. Orcutt replied option two accomplishes number one. He explained what they are trying to do <br /> is to not have a bridge and a ramp that is gravel and people look at them all winter and not be able <br /> to use them. He stated they need to be honest in the meeting tomorrow to say they will do <br /> everything they can do as designers, engineers and City Council to try to get this done in two years <br /> but nature, costs, and supply chain are fighting them. They are trying to do things ahead and make <br /> the decisions. <br /> City Council Work Session/June 28, 2022 <br /> Page 4 of 20 <br />
