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 /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked if he heard correctly that the County could help with engineering. <br /> <br />Mr. Orcutt confirmed this but stated they needed the expertise of City Engineer Westby who knows <br />the needs specific to Ramsey. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked if option two was Mr. Orcutt’s recommendation. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />City Engineer Westby replied option two would be his preference, especially with the trench <br />settlements. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked Mr. Orcutt if they would get the most dollars from the project <br />itself. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />City Council Work Session / June 28, 2022 <br />Page 4 of 20 <br /> <br />
