Mayor Gamec stated that traffic has been very minimal along T.H. #47 and feels that the project <br />could be completed faster if the road is closed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly requested that staff work with the Public Works Committee to have <br />maps drawn up showing the detours and making sure the residents are notified of the road <br />closure. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman requested that notices are sent to all residents in that vicinity. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly stated that the engineer has missed three major items and thinks there <br />should be some conversations addressing those issues. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman suggested having the City Attorney review the engineer's contract. <br />Consensus of the Council was to direct the City Attorney to review the engineer's contract. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that he has been approached by the contractor from Mallard <br />Ponds indicating that they need to begin work on sewer and will need to cut out a portion of <br />Dysprosium Street to do the work. Staff felt it would not be apPropriate to do that project in <br />conjunction with the closure of T.H. #47 and requested that Council authorize staff to send out <br />notices to resident along Dysprosium Street that the construction will be taking place and that it <br />will be completed in 2 ½ weeks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if it is something that needs to be completed at this point in <br />the project. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that they would like to de-water everything at once otherwise it <br />would be very costly to do it at separate times. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that Dysprosium Street is already taking additional traffic and <br />he thinks that the City Engineer needs to be coordinating what takes place along Dysprosium <br />Street which would include the closing of Dysprosium Street be done for only a very minimum <br />amount of time. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that they would only have two weeks to complete their work for <br />the Mallard Ponds development. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated that she would prefer that T.H. #47 is reopened by the <br />beginning of the school year. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to approve a <br />modification to the phasing plan by allowing for a temporary closure of T.H. #47 north of <br />County Road #5 for an approximate two-week period at no additional cost to the City. <br /> <br />City Council/July 11, 2000 <br />Page 12 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
