FINANCE COMMITTEE <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey Finance Committee conducted a regular meeting on Tuesday September 25, 2001, <br />at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW, Ramsey, Minnesota. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Mayor Thomas Gamec <br />Councilmember Susan E. Anderson <br />Councilmember Patti Kurak <br />Councilmember Terry Hendricksen <br />Councilmember Gerald Zimmerman <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />City Administrator James Norman <br />Finance Officer Diana Lund <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Dean Kapler <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Mark Boos <br />Parks Intern Chad Litke <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Chairperson Hendriksen called the regular meeting of the Finance Committee to order at 6:40 <br />p.m. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />There was none. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: Award Bids for River's Bend and Solstice Park's Irrigation Projects <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that on July 24, 2001, the City Council authorized staff to <br />solicit bids for Rivers Bend Park's and Solstice Park's irrigation systems. Subsequent to this <br />approval, staff prepared plans and specifications for the two projects. Rivers Bend is more <br />complex and a larger project so, therefore, the formal bidding process was used. Solstice is <br />smaller and more residential in nature so written quotations were requested for this project. <br /> <br />Parks Intern Litke stated that both projects were advertised in the Anoka County Union on <br />September 14, 2001. In addition, complete plans and specs were provided to six irrigation <br />contractors and notification was sent to all irrigation companies listed in the local phone book. <br />For Solstice Park, the irrigation contractor hired will provide all labor, materials and coordination <br />of subcontractors to complete the project. The work is expected to be substantially complete this <br />year. In the case of River's Bend, the irrigation contractor should have their work done this fall <br />as well. However, staff will also need to provide a water supply from the pumphouse, to the <br />Park's soccer field. It is unlikely that this aspect of the project will be done before it tums cold. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/September 25, 2001 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
