The City Manager reported that the low bid was approximately $6,300 below the Minnesota
Department of Transportation (MN-DOT) estimate. MNDOT calculates the City's
participation amount at $777,461.49. To proceed with the project a check must be sent to
MNDOT following the bid award so that the paperwork can be processed and the contract
executed with Ames Construction. Construction could begin around the first week in
November. He recommended that the majority of the $777,461.49 be paid out of the Capital
Improvement Fund, with the balance to come from the Liquor Fund and the General Fund.
The following is a summary of the costs:

1.10 DISCUSSION: FALL LEAF DROPQFF,
The City Manager reported that City of Mound staff and City of Minnetrista staff have been
working together to provide a fall leaf dropoff site for residents of Mound and Minnetrista.
The Minnetfista City Council gave approval last night to the site behind the Minnetrista City
Hall and Public Works Building in Minnetrista for this fall leaf dropoff. There will be no
charge for this and the dates and times will be as follows:
9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1.
9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Saturday, 7 and Sunday, November 8.
If there is a need to extend the days that it is opened, that decision could be made following
November 8th. The City of Mound would furnish a worker to make sure people dump the
leaves in the right area, etc. On Monday following the weekend dropoff, public works
employees from Minnetrista and Mound would haul the leaves to the Hennepin County
Regional Park in Minnetrista for disposal. The County will accept these leaves this fall only
free of charge. Reserves from Minnetrista and Mound could be utilized for directing traffic
into and out of the site. The Council agreed with this solution for a leaf drop.
The City Manager reported that he and the Administrator in Minnetrista have discussed long-
term composting and agreed to pursue this issue together.
1.11 EXECUTIVE SESSION: WOODLAND POINT LITIGATION.
The Council went into Executive Session at 8:20 P.M. Councilmember Weycker excused
