than the estimated cost. The bids received will need to be rejected. It will be possible to initiate the public improvement process with a public hearing on this project with the known costs. This process would allow for new bids to be received in July and construction of the project in August of 2006. Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Olson, to adopt Resolution 06- 02-070 rejecting all bids, directing staff to revise the feasibility study to reflect the cost associated with the project as currently designed, and adopt Resolution 06-02-071 setting a date of March 28, 2006, for a public hearing on this project. Further discussion: Councilmember Elvig stated that he recalled having a significant amount of discussion about the drainage problems in the area and wondered if this was something that was missed. Assistant Director of Public Works explained that it was an issue with the underwater table elevation. Councilmember Elvig questioned if there is a point when you look at the road and decide that something different needs to be done. Assistant Director of Public Works Olson replied that there are wetlands surrounding this loop, which will make it difficult to find a solution that would not require wetland filling. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Cook, Olson, Elvig, Jeffrey, Pearson, and Strommen. Voting No: None. Case #11: Report from Personnel Committee 1) Boards and Commission Councilmember Cook explained that Bob Johnson has resigned from the Planning Commission. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to accept the resignation of Bob Johnson from the Planning Commission. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Elvig, Jeffrey, Cook, Olson, Pearson, and Strommen. Voting No: None. Human Resources Manager Reed explained that interviews will be scheduled next week with the Personnel Committee and the Chair and Vice Chair from the Planning Commission. Ms. Reed also noted that the Committee discussed the Board reappointment policy and will be bringing back a draft policy for review. Mayor Gamec suggested that the Council be notified of possible reappointments so that they are able to forward a written comment to the Personnel Committee rather than having an issue come up after a recommendation is brought forward to the City Council. He also requested that the Council be informed of any applicants being interviewed for a Board or Commission. Human Resources Manager Reed inquired if the Council would want to receive just a list of the applicant's names or the application material. Mayor Gamec thought a list of names was adequate.
