Mound City Council Minutes -August 8, 2006
5. Comments and suggestions from citizens on any item not on the
a enda. -None were offered.
The Mayor turned over the meeting to Acting Mayor Beise for the next item
because of a possible perceived conflict of interest.
6. Lost Lake Dredge Project
Carlton Moore explained that it was recently discovered that the dredge of Lost
Lake for the new docks was not conducted to the depth required under the
contract. As a result the contractor was directed to return to the site and
complete the dredge in accordance with the terms of the contract. The
contractor has objected to the direction and is claiming they are not responsible.
There will be a meeting August 9th with the contractor, bonding company, city
staff and others to discuss options available to complete the dredge.
With timing being critical due to the fact that the docks will be delivered to the site
for installation within the next few weeks, and the developer plans to close on a
number of the homes, the Council is being asked to consider a resolution that
receives the report, approves the plans and specs for completing the dredge and
authorizing advertisement for bids for the project. Taking those actions does not
preclude the city from continuing discussions with the present contractor and
bond company, and, if agreements can be reached with them to complete the
project, the city can discontinue the rebid process at any time short of awarding
the new contract.
MOTION by Brown, seconded by Specht to adopt the following resolution. The
following voted in favor: Osmek, Brown, Specht and Beise. The following voted
against: None. Mayor Meisel abstained from voting. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION NO. 06-90: RESOLUTION RECEIVING FEASIBILITY REPORT,
APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, AND ATURHOZING
ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE 2006 LOST LAKE DREDGE
PROJECT
Mayor Meisel returned to preside over the balance of the meeting.

Fire Chief Pederson informed the Council that all of the member cities have
signed three-year contracts with the new formula change. He continued by
reviewing the Minnetrista Fire Station #1 Project development phases and
schedule., along with cost estimate comparisons for atwo-fire station operation.
