Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Cook, Olson, Elvig, Jeffrey, Pearson and Strommen. Voting No: None. 2) Consider Replacement of Existing Yield Sign with a Stop Sign at Marmoset and 154th Lane Councilmember Cook stated that Colleen Fischer made a request for the replacement of a yield sign for 154th Lane with a stop sign at its intersection with Marmoset Street. This comer is an elementary school bus stop. Ms. Fischer has stated there is not a lot of traffic, but it is fast traffic, and if the traffic is forced to stop one way, it could prevent an accident. The Public Works Committee recommended this concern be forwarded to public safety and that we put a speed limit trailer out there and have the Police monitor this more and that the neighborhood get involved in calling in speeders. Motion by Councilmember Cook and seconded by Councilmember Olson to ratify the recommendation of the Public works Committee that the existing signage at the intersection of Marmoset and 154th Lane is appropriate and that no change will take place in the signage. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Cook, Olson, Elvig, Jeffrey, Pearson and Strommen. Voting No: None. 3) Update on 47 Pedestrian Crossing at 142na Avenue Councilmember Cook stated that the Public Works Committee received an update on the T.H. #47 pedestrian crossing at 142~d Avenue. The County wants to see it gone, the City wants to see it gone, and it will be gone. No action is required. 4) Consider Storm Sewer Improvements at 168th and T.H. #47 Councilmember Cook stated this came up because during a recent rain storm there were problems with this drainage ditch flooding while going through the golf course. The culvert on the east side of the course is not handling water. The Public Works Committee directed staff to do a study to see what can be done to improve this situation. That will take some more time. There is no action required and the study will be done in-house. 5) Project Closeout of T.H. #47 Improvement Project Civil Engineer II Linton stated that presently there are two pay estimates that need to be processed in order to finalize this T.H. #47 improvement project which was done in 2000 and 2001. He explained that the work associated with this project was separated into three individual projects, each with subcategories for road and storm sewer improvements, plus an additional designation for City water and sewer improvements. The first five project categories have an 80% federal reimbursement and the Sunwood Drive storm sewer, payment group 6, is being reimbursed 44%. The total payment to the contractor will be $39,171.07. The City share of this amount will be $15,841.24 with $9,942.18 of this amount attributable to the sewer and water trunk fund. The remaining $5,899.06 would be taken from the Public Improvement revolving City Council/November 7, 2005 Page 14 of 16
