. easements and retaining walls. He stated that if provisions were made for a

Minutes -3- March 5, 1974
{
Administrator Johnson stated that if the Council decides to align the roadway
on the center of the right-of-way the Council would be committed to placing a
Y
future pedway adjacent to the curb. He further stated that in 1973 the "
State Legislature adopted Chapter 620, appropriating $25,000 for the study '
f
of this type of problem by the State Planning Agency, and that the Planning
Agency is working with the Minnesota Highway Department in the hope of
compiling a set of guidelines by July, 1974.'
Councilman Gutzmer stated that if the roadway is aligned on the center of the
right-of-way, this would allow six-foot boulevards on each side of the road and
suggested that one of the boulevards be dedicated as a pedway in the future.
Several members of the audience stated their favor or objection to the proposal
to provide for a future pedway. Administrator Johnson stated that the proposal
for pedway provisions is simply good planning for the future, so that at some
future time if the need, desire and demand for a pedway is expressed by the
community, this could be accommodated. He further stated that if and when
such facility is demanded, a public hearing will be held.
'
Councilman Gutzmer moved that the City Engineer be instructed to proceed with 3'
final plans and specifications for the improvement of the eastern section of
Marie Avenue, allowing for a north/south movement of the center line of the road
to include an 8 foot boulevard on the south side, aligning the roadway as best
possible to avoid retaining walls and slope easements. Councilman Losleben
seconded the motion.

SERVICE SITE PLAN and Janitor Service building floor level is

as the building has been constructed. At the Administrator's request,
Mr. Tuminelly submitted a revised site plan (on February 14) to alter the
drainage to the south and west by sloping the driveway to bring the runoff out
to the roadway ditch and'a roof drain which will drain the water from the roof

Dear Orvil:
I appreciate visiting with you about the bonding authority for
the Dakota County Board of Commissioners. I appreciate the
situation with the Board of Commissioners. We felt that with the
requirements of the municipal governments contributing through
a negotiating matter with the County Board that sufficient
control could be exercised by municipalities. We also require
in the bill, as you know, a plan to be adopted by the county
first and then the roads to be built according to the needs
and under the plan.
I think it behooves all of us to watch very carefully and to
control what might be built under the bonding bill if and
when it passes.
Thank you for your call.'

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
March 15, 1974
TO: City Council
FROM: Orvil J. Johnson
City Administrator
SUBJECT: Fire Station Roof Repairs
a
Arnie Siebell and Bruce Levine have both advised me of the
urgency of roof repairs. Bruce has shown three roofers the situation,
discussed it with them, and obtained quotes. They are as follows:
Minneapolis Roof Co. $1,870
McPhillips Brothers 2,500
Andrews Roofing 3,800
The lower quote involves a "less than normal" type of construction,
and we are reluctant to experiment with it. These quotes involve
the complete reconstruction of the roof over the old building.
It appears that patching is insufficient and unsatisfactory,
hence the recommendation of a complete roofing job on the old portion.
McPhillips will provide a twenty-year roof with a five-year guarantee
and I recommend the authorization for this maintenance. The budget
provides a total of $1,500 for building maintenance -- we will have
to adjust other expenditures accordingly.

? SUBJECT: Park and Recreation Conuiti.ssion Matters +.
}, Recent activities of the Park and Recreation Commission have
involved consideration of instituting a summer recreation program and )
have also included the consideration of a major piece of lawn mowing
equipment. These matters have been quite thoroughly studied and
! researched by Commission members and staff. Kevin Howe, as the new
} Park and Recreation Commission Chairperson, plans to appear Tuesday .,
night to introduce discussion on the two matters. He will be '.
= accompanied by others to make a thorough presentation.'
a �r,
f;A, A summer recreation program and the associated director will be
proposed. Dewey Selander, who headed the winter program, has prepared
a summer program. He will be present to explain the proposal in
considerable detail. As this program will also include the supervision
and personnel requirements at the Rogers Lake Beach, I have worked
quite closely with the Commission and Dewey and believe that a program
can be sponsored within the 1974 budget appropriations. Funds for a
total summer recreation program would be accommodated from the t
appropriation for beach operation and the pnlrtial salary of the park
maintenance man (the 1974 budget allocated one additional park
maintenance man who will only be hired in April or May -- savings from
his salary will help to support the summer recreation program.) It
appears that some $7,000'can be expended on the beach and summer
recreation program and it is this proposal that will be presented by
t, Kevin and Dewey.
The Park Commission and Harvey have considered the purchase of a
large mower with park bond issue funds. The relative merits of large
equipment versus smaller equipment have been studied by Harvey and
Commission member Murphy. Gerry will be present to advise you of his ;
findings and recommendations -on this proposed equipment purchase.
