STREET & ALLEY/FINANCE COMMITTEES
•The combined committees met in the Conference Room at City Hall. Present were S&A Chair-
man Palmer, members Nystul and Saverud; Finance Chairman Ruiz, member Grainger, Council-
man Manning, Mayor McDowell, DPW Hammer, Finance Director Swanson, CDC Director Gallagher,
Construction Inspector VanDyke, Surveyor-Zavodny, Roger Hopkins, DIL and representatives
from various heavy equipment firms.
Financinq Grader Purchase : Finance Committee
C. Palmer stated that the Street & Alley Committee requested power to act on the bids
received and the Finance Committee meeting was for the purpose of discussing means of
financing the purchase of the grader. Chairman Ruiz opened the Finance portion of meeting.
Chairman Ruiz reported that we have $110,000 in Revenue Sharing funds for Capital Outlay.
$43,800 of this has been committed for the purchase of a dump truck, though it is not
yet incurred. $55,000 has been budgeted for the grader, also $6,000 for -a used trailer
which has not yet been purchased. This amount could be used and rebudgeted in June.
Also, he reports a $28,920 Capital Improvement Sinking Fund.
The logic of totally depleting a fund, accumulating cash in a fund, vehicle replacement
fund, as well as the benefits of lease purchase were discussed. C. Nystul pointed out
that we have $61,200, or if the $6,OOOused trailer fund is added, $67,200. He does
not feel that anything would be gained by financing the balance of $15,000 or $21,000
if the low bid for a new grader of $82,788 is selected.
C. Palmer moved that available cash be spent to pay for the grader. Seconded by C.
Grainger. All voted aye. Chairman Ruiz instructed DPW Hammer to make the decision on
the $6,000 to either leave in the budget for the trailer or take out of the balance due
• on the grader.
There being no further business of the Finance Committee, this committee meeting adjourned.
Chairman Palmer called the Street & Alley meeting to order. Present were Chairman Palmer,
committee members Saverud and Nystul, C. Manning, Mayor McDowell, DPW Hammer, C. I. Van -
Dyke, Sur-veyor Zavodny and Roger Hopkins, DIL.
Construction Standards
DPW Hammer explained the his memo itemizing revisions in the Standards and General Pro-
visions for Design and Construction, copy attached. Surveyor Zavodny explained that
although this is a housekeeping procedure, Council approval is required. The changes
should resolve some problem areas.
C. Nystul moved to recommend the changes to Council for approval. Seconded by C.
Saverud. This will be taken to Sewer & Water Committee also.
Street Reconstruction Program
DPH Hammer stated that Chairman Palmer suggested that the budget be gone over before
the planned 25 block reconstruction program starts. The Surveyor's office has prepared
a memo on the available funding for 1985 and projected funding for 1986 programs. A
copy itemizing costs of materials is attached; labor costs have already been budgeted
for. Estimated total material is $150,000; total available funding is $132,919 from
3 funds not including tax increment. The Chip Seal Program was also discussed and a
memo listing needs for 1985 was distributed by Van Dyke. DPW Hammer stated that the
25 blocks of reconstruction and 11 blocks of chip seal could be done within the mone-
tary means available. He explained that by doing so, we are borrowing into 4 months
of gas tax monies. Technically, he states,we should be doing 55 blocks per year.
C. Saverud asked if we will be able to keep up on the alley program; he states that we
are receiving about as many complaints on alleys as on streets.
Street & Alley/Finance Committees Page 2 March 7, 1985
. DPW Hammer has a list of many in commercial areas who are willing to pap for the cost
of asphalt needed for alley repair, this does not take labor into consideration.
C. Palmer stated that we would have to call for bids and a decision muse be made on
street reconstruction. DPW hammer stated that the list could be broken down into 5-6
blocks per project, this is flexible to allow for the need of off -site improvements.
C. Palmer stated that Streets & Alleys would be credited for street work from Water
Department for main/sewer replacements. This will be brought up at 3/8 Water & Sewer
meeting.
C. Nystul stated that the proposal had been posted and budget for, the Council has
been advised of the Reconstruction Program and for the record, moved to accept the
proposal as recommended. Seconded by Councilman Saverud. All voted aye.
Grader Bids
DPW Hammer presented a memo comparing the 8 bids, which were discussed. He recommends
the low bid on the new grader from Long Machinery for the 140g Caterpillar at $82,788.
He stated that Street Foreman and Shop Foreman agree. Discussion followed on the
various features and parts availability. Hammer pointed out that a local citizen who
is an expert on writing specifications, Mr. Howard Hurst, assisted with the specs.
A letter will be drafted from the committee thanking Mr. Hurst for his assistance.
These are the first specs sent out with no problems and very few inquiry calls, per
DPW Hammer.
• For information purposes, we have two graders, about 1960 vintage, Mr. Hurst, in fact,
sold one in 1946 or 1948. Both will be kept for backup and the new one used for larger
jobs.
C. Saverud moved that we accept the responsible low bid of Long Machinery in the amount
of $82,788.00. Councilman Nystul seconded the motion, noting that it would be in the
best interest of the City to purchase the new machine over a used machine. All voted
aye. Motion carried.
After a brief discussion of the beautification of Depot Park in relationship to Center
Street, the meeting adjourned at 5:00 P.M.
