Mayor Gamec indicated the 2006 Park Capital Improvement Projects were discussed at the work session prior to this meeting. Councilmember Elvig suggested doggie bag dispensers be included in the planned park projects. Council consensus was to include two doggie bag dispensers at Elmcrest Park and one dispenser at Titterud Park. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Strommen, to approve the 2006 Park's Capital Improvement Program in the amount and funding source presented, with the addition of two doggie bag dispensers at Elmcrest Park and one doggie bag dispenser at Titterud Park. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Elvig, Strommen, Cook, and Olson Pearson. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Jeffrey. Case #12: Water and Septic Service for Central Park's New Shelter Public Works Director Olson indicated the proposed resolution authorizes the change order for the addition of water and septic service for the new shelter at Central Park. The change order would result in an additional $44,000 in funding from the lawful gambling fund. In reviewing the scope of the proposed $75,515 change order from DNR Construction Services, it was apparent the City may reduce this amount significantly by performing the trenching between the two buildings using City forces and equipment. After eliminating the subcontractor trenching, pipe and incidentals, the revised quote from DNR Construction is $36,710. The City's labor commitment can be absorbed operationally, because the November/December work can be accommodated around other duties. Out of pocket costs are anticipated to total $7,700. Mr. Olson advised staff recommends proceeding with the revised change order to make the new park shelter fully functional for the spring 2007 season, utilizing City forces to reduce the project cost by $31,105. It is also recommended that $44,410 in Lawful Gambling Funds be authorized as the funding source. The contract with DNR Construction Services would be in the amount of $36,710 for completion of the bathrooms, plumbing and associated improvements to make the Central Park Shelter fully functional. Councilmember Elvig indicated he will be abstaining from this vote, as he has done work on a non-bid relationship with DNR Construction Services. Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Olson, to authorize staff to enter into a contract with DNR Construction Services in the amount of $36,710 for completion of the bathrooms, plumbing and associated improvements to make the Central Park Shelter fully functional, and to adopt Resolution #06-10-339, authorizing the expenditure of Lawful Gambling Funds for the above improvements. Motion carried. V oting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Cook, Olson, Pearson, and Strommen. Voting No: None. Abstain: Councilmember Elvig. Absent: Councilmember Jeffreyo City Council / October 24, 2006 Page 18 of 20
