COUNCIL MEMBER PEDERSON MOVED TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT OF THE RANGE, BASED ON THE 11 FINDINGS OF FACT, 1 CONDITION, AND 11 REQUIREMENTS. COUNCIL MEMBER SWANSON SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 4-0. 9.1. 2020 Road Improvement Proiects Update Tim Houle stated a couple of months ago he went through sections of Rasmussen Road and South Washington, roadway widths, curb and gutter and other details. Mr. Houle talked about curb and gutter and that it drops the road just a little bit in places so they're working on the computer to get that road to lay into the land. He stated last month that he, Nancy Malecha and Jason Gorr talked with some property owners about storm water drainage, especially on the South side of Rasmussen Road. Mr. Houle said that property owners are open to providing the city storm water drainage easements which clears a big hurdle for storm drainage. He stated there will be more specifics in the upcoming meetings with some approvals on granting or obtaining easements. Council Member Seils asked if we still have right away issues. Mr. Houle discussed clearing up the right of way issues in conjunction with the easements. Council Member Swanson asked what the schedule is for the road improvements. Mr. Houle stated that they want to finish up the design and be able to go to public bidding early spring. Discussion ensued about bidding and having the project be bid as one project. Mr. Houle talked about putting in individual intermittent milestone completion dates to minimize the issues and access but he said we don't want to get so prescriptive in the schedule that you lose a price advantage with the bidders. Council Member Swanson asked if North Sluetter is included with this project. Mr. Houle explained that it would be a separate project based on what the Council approved. Discussion ensued about the paving of North Sluetter Road and the classification of Rustic Road in order for it to be paved, it was stated that the details are still be worked on and that it is on the November City Council agenda for further discussion. Council Member Pederson asked if the cost of the road project will change. Mr. Houle stated that the study that strip map is related to had a cost estimate associated with it and that study is probably going on finro years now. He said once they get further into the design they will do another estimate before the bids based on actual quantities, curb and gutter and bituminous pavement using the best information they have on recent bid prices. Mr. Houle stated that they would like to keep that in their work October i�, 2019 Staff Report Page 2
