City Council Minutes June 3, 2014 Page 5 of 9 -------------------------- rapid infiltration basins. To get you in a ballparlc, we are looking at the $2 million range. We just recei�ed cos#s yesterday #or the spray irrigation option. When considering the spray irrigation equipment, piping, land items, etc. it will be o�er $� million. While tE�e initial costs are less expensi�e thar� the Rapid Enfiltratior� Basin costs, we s#ifl ha�e to consider the operational and land use iss�aes with spray irri�ation — and it is harder to put dolfars to these facto rs. • North Washinqton A�enue We will work with the City on getting some rebates �rom MN Power for using LED street �ights and less power. Turn backs The big pict�re proposed approach is that tF�e County will not construct impro�ements to the turned back roadways prEOr to turn back bu# wif! instead send the City a check for the turn backs. The City will then use those monies the way they want to for improvements #o the #urned back roadways. We ha�e also learned that the County - and somewhat MnDOT - are no# going to respo�d to our initial negot�ation spreadsheet with yes's and no's — like I thought they would. They are jumping to the next step anc� are actually calct�lating estimated quantities, estimated unit prices, and total estimated costs for various roadway segments before they send a response back. They want the City to do these kinds of more detailed calculations at this point for CR 112 and CSAH 11. To estimate the quantities and unit prices ar�d fo get estimated costs wilk cos# about $10,0�0. We ha�e told t�e Co�rrty that the Council has authorized us to answer questions to keep the process mo�ing, but this step — whiie anticipated at some point - is a bit sooneE than expee#ed. Mayor Adams questioned whether tF�e County would pay Tim Houle for doing the required calcu�ations. Tim Houie noted that the County would probably not pay for his work. Mayor Adams stated that the money the Ci�y receives will be 2�14 dollars and the projects will be done much later. She no#ed that she wants to see any Turn back money go into a special account for roads and streets. Tim Houle s�tggested adding in inflation fac#ors. Cot�ncil Member Gardner questioned the cost for Tim to complete the calculation. Tim Houle noted that they woult4 be billing o� an hourly basis.
