APPROVAL OF MINUTES - MARCH 10, 1980 There was a motion.by Courcilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember_Fignar to approve the minutes of the City Council meeting of March 10, 1980 as submitted. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Kuefler, Fignar, Lhotka, and Scott. Voting against none. The motion passed unanimously. OPEN FORUM Mayor Nyquist noted the presence of several persons in the.audience who had requested to use the Open Forum session. He added that the persons were interested in speaking on the question of traffic signals on Lyndale Avenue at 69th and 73rd Avenues. Mayor Nyquist suggested that resolutions regarding this item be moved up on the agenda so that the Council could address these questions for the benefit of the persons interested in the audience. The City Manager introduced a resolution establishing Traffic Signal Improvement Project No. 1980 -08 ( Lyndale Avenue at 69th and 73rd Avenues). He explained this project is being established to set up separate accounting for this possible improvement in the event Federal Aid Urban funds or federal or state funds become available for this purpose. The Director of Public Works reviewed a memorandum regarding requests for traffic signals on Lyndale Avenue at 69th and 73rd Avenues noting that the existing flashing yellow lights g ., 1 are apparently of limited effectiveness in alerting Pp Y g motorists to the pedestrian crossing. He noted there have been several pedestrian accidents and two fatalities in this area in the recent past. He proceeded to review the memorandum outlining various alternatives for reconstruction and signalization of Lyndale Avenue at 69th and 73rd Avenues. Mayor Nyquist inquired what the potential time schedule would.be Federal Aid Urban funding. The Director of Public Works explained that the PAU funds would not likely be committed before 1981 but that project approval could possibly be obtained in late 1980. Mayor Nyquist questioned whether the State was involved in the FAU funding process. The Director of Public Works noted that the State and the Metropolitan Council act as clearinghouses for Federal Aid Urban funds. 3 -24 -80 -1- Councilmember Fignar asked what the total project cost would be with FAU funding. The Director of Public Works stated that he would hesitate to give an estimate on the project at this point. Councilmember Fignar inquired how long the traffic study would take. The Director of Public Works explained that the study would have to begin immediately in order to submit the application for FAU funding by the April 15, 1980 deadline. Councilmember Kuefler questioned whether the City could pursue both MN /DOT and FAU funding without jeopardizing either avenue of funding. The Director of Public Works stated that, if the City submitted a request for FAU funding, the emphasis would shift to the FAU funding source until the project is prioritized. He explained that if the project is rated high on the FAU project's list, then MN /DOT would lower its priority on the project, noting that the City would not lose any priority via state funding by pursuing the FAU funding. Councilmember Lhotka inquired whether the staff is requesting the Council to establish the project and also authorize the study. The City Manager explained that the staff is requesting both authorization for the study and the establish - ment of the Traffic Signal Improvement Project No. 1980 -08. The Director of Public Works added that the State's traffic studies have examined intersection accidents only and that if accidents approaching the intersection are examined, the number of accidents in the project area may be considerably greater. Mayor Nyquist opened.the meeting for the purpose of the Open Forum session. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mrs. Marcella Backstrom of 7237 Riverdale Road who wished to address the Council on the problem of the pedestrian crossings on Lyndale Avenue at 69th and 73rd Avenues. She explained that the neighborhood is concerned with the immediate problem and that the remedies discussed this evening appear to be sometime in the future. She indicated that she had spoken with Senator Luther who said he would lend his support and referred to a bill in the current Legisla- ture regarding the regulation of speed limits. Mrs..Backstrom stated that everyone who lives in the area agrees that the flashing yellow lights did little to slow down the traffic on Lyndale Avenue. She suggested that possibly overhead signs ,indicating a pedestrian crossing might be a partial solution to the problem and would be noticed by motorists more easily than roadside signs indicating a pedes- trian crossing. The City Manager explained that the speed limit bill.now in the Legislature relates to regulating the speeds on local streets only and would not apply to Lyndale Avenue. He added that he realizes the seriousness of the problem of the pedes- trian crossing where cars traveling at relatively high speeds have difficulty in stopping. Councilmember Fignar inquired whether radar was being used by the -City in this area. The City Manager explained that radar was being use but it is difficult to use radar in a heavy traffic area since cars cannot be pinpointed in heavy traffic. He indicated that the City may be able to use its new recording radar in the area where an officer would not be required to operate the unit. Councilmember Kuefler questioned what the State's commitment to enforcement in this area would be. The City Manager explained that the State's primary responsibility i traffic enforcement on the freeways with the remaining streets being left to munic- ipal enforcement. Councilmember Kuefler posed the question of whether or not the City could possibly come to an agreement with the State to aid in the enforcement in the Lyndale Avenue area. The City Manager indicated that this is a possibility but that the aid would most likely be offered on a temporary basis. 3 -24 -80 -2- Councilmember Lhotka questioned whether additional signs would help. The Director of Public Works stated that he believed pavement markings are the most effective alerts to motorists as opposed to additional signs. Councilmember Lhotka expressed a concern over what could be done, between now and the time of the potential pro- `ect improve h Director to m ve t o safety of the area. The f Public Works noted that o 7 . P Y a suggestion was made for a push for pedestrians which would allow them to change the flashing yellow light to flashing red, but indicated that this is not allowable under law. Mayor Nyquist asked if there were any more comments from the audience on the Open Forum session, there being none, he proceeded with the next agenda item. RESOLUTION NO. 80 -67 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING TRAFFIC SIGNAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1980 -08 AND ORDERING PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS (69TH.AND 73RD AVENUES NORTH AT T.H. 252) The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Bill Fignar, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Dean Nyquist, Tony Kuefler, Bill Fignar, Gene Lhotka, and Celia Scott; and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.

The City Manager indicated that the staff will keep Mrs. Marcella Backstrom informed of the project status as it develops. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Roger Scherer of 7118 Willow Lane North, who requested the City Council to forward a request to the State to reduce the speed limit along Lyndale Avenue from 45 mph to 35 mph. He indicated, as representative on the Metropolitan Council, he would forward this request to the Council. Mayor Nyquist noted Mr. Scherer's invitation for a resolution on the speed limit along Lyndale Avenue and inquired of the Council whether they wished to support such a request. RESOLUTION NO. 80 -68a Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE COMMISSIONER OF THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO CONDUCT SPEED SURVEY AND ESTABLISH SAFE SPEED LIMIT ON WEST RIVER ROAD (T.H. 252) The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Gene Lhotka, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Dean Nyquist, Tony Kuefler, Bill Fignar, Gene Lhotka, and Celia Scott; and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. 3 -24 -80 -3- PUBLIC HEARING ON PARK BOND Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on the park bond issue. He inquired if anyone present in the audience wished to speak at the public hearing. No one spoke at the public hearing. There was a motion by Councilmember Fignar and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to close the public hearing on the park bond issue. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Kuefler, Fignar, Lhotka, and Scott. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Ron Christensen, representing the Citizens Committee for the park bond issue. Mr. Christensen inquired what the City staff was currently doing with regard to the maintenance and police enforcement in the parks. The City Manager stated that the staff is reviewing park maintenance procedures with the Park and Recreation Commission and that police enforcement in the parks is currently being reviewed with the Police Department. He explained that the City will gather input on these issues at the local meetings which will be held with neighborhood groups in the various park areas. He explained the goal is to gather neighborhood input on.what residents feel is an acceptable standard of maintenance and enforcement in the parks. He also noted that City crews will be eliminated from most capital projects work in the future which has, in the past, reduced the amount of hours which could be devoted to park maintenance. Councilmember Kuefler noted that the Citizens Committee has approved the May 6, 1980 date for the bond election. Councilmember Kuefler requested the City Manager to comment on three items related to the park bond which included President Carter's potential cutback on grant programs, the 7% cap on interest rates, and the split question on the bond issue. with regard to the split question on the bond issue, the City Manager stated that the Council is seeking authority to issue the park improvement bonds and also to levy for.the additional maintenance costs related to the park improvements. The City Manager explained he consulted with the City's bond attorney and requested that the question in the bond election combine both the question on the issuance of the bonds and the maintenance levy. He stated that the City's bond attorney said it is not possible to combine the questions since there cannot be any conditions placed on the authority to sell the bonds. He emphasized the fact that the bond issue has to be unconditional and that the Council can choose not to sell the bonds, if the maintenance levy is not approved by the voters. He added that, if the bond issue fails and the maintenance levy is passed, then nothing happens since the maintenance levy is tied to the passage of the bond issue. Councilmember Kuefler inquired what the time frame was for the sale of the bonds. The City Manager explained that the bonds would have to be sold within one year after the passage of the bond issue. The City Attorney noted that he does not disagree with the bond attorney's opinion on the split question and added that in today's bond market it is especially desirable not to have any conditions placed on the sale of the bonds. Regarding the 7% cap on the interest rate for bonds, the City Manager explained there are bills in the State Legislature which would change the limit currently Placed on interest rates. He added that the estimated required interest rate for a May bond issue would be approximately 90. With regard to federal grants, the City Manager explained that the City may get in under the current funding and avoid the forthcoming cuts in the grant programs, but added that it is a possibility for some of the grants to be cut. He noted that the neighborhood parks would be relatively unaffected by cutbacks in federal grant programs since these costs are tied to the general obligation bonds and not federal grants. 3 -24 -80 -4- RESOLUTION NO. 80 -69 Member Bill Fignar introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION DETERMINING THE NEED FOR THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION PARK IMPROVEMENT BONDS: THE SUBMISSION OF THE QUESTION OF INCREASING THE TAX LEVY LIMITATION OF THE CITY: AND CALLING A SPECIAL ELECTION The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Tony Kuefler, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Dean Nyquist, Tony Kuefler, Bill Fignar, Gene Lhotka, and Celia Scott; and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. PUBLIC HEARING ON SUMMIT DRIVE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS The City Manager stated that Resolution No. 80 -57, adopted by the City Council on February 25, 1980, set a public hearing for street improvements, curb and gutter and sidewalk improvements on Summit Drive between Shingle Creek Parkway and T.H. 100. He stated that notices of the public hearing had been mailed to the owners of all properties proposed to be assessed and had been published in the City's official newspaper. The Director of Public Works explained that the Superintendent of Engineering and the Civil Engineer have prepared information on this project and will make a presentation to the City Council this evening. The Superintendent of Engineer - ing.explained that the City staff has approved the Summit Avenue bypass which is part of the I -94 freeway project. He added that plans to widen and upgrade Summit Avenue have been sent to MN /DOT for their review. He stated that Summit Avenue will be 47 feet wide with curb and gutter and sidewalk placed on the north side. He explained MN /DOT will pay all paving costs and the City will pay for all sidewalk and berming costs. The Superintendent of Engineering indi- cated that the curb and gutter costs will be assessed to adjoining property owners and that the estimated cost of curb and gutter installation along Summit Avenue is $31,500. He noted that the estimated assessment cost for the curb and gutter is $150 per acre. The Superintendent of Engineering pointed out that the publication date. in the resolution ordering construction of Summit Drive improvements should be changed from February 20, 1980 to March 20, 1980. Councilmember Kuefler inquired whether the sidewalk on Summit Avenue would provide handicapped accessibility. The Superintendent of Engineering explained that it would provide accessibility to the K -Mart area. The Director of Public Works added that the John Martin Drive sidewalk project is included in the Shingle Creek Parkway project and will extend the sidewalk for handicapped accessibility. Mayor Nyquist inquired whether any traffic signals were proposed in the project. The Superintendent of Engineering stated that no signals were planned for the intersection at Summit and Earle Brown Drive. Councilmember Scott questioned whether a four -way stop for this intersection would be desirable. The Super- intendent of Engineering explained that a four -way stop would create a traffic jam in the area and would likely back cars up on .Highway 100. Mayor Nyquist inquired whether K -Mart and Toy City had been notified of the final plans for the project. The City Manager explained that the staff would notify these two businesses and that the plans for the project had just been finalized.. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Summit Drive Improvement Project Nos. 1980 -01, 1980 -02, and 1980 -03. No one appeared to speak at the public hearing. . 3 -24 -80 -5 -- There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott to close the public hearing on Summit Drive Improvement Project Nos. 1980 -01, 1980 -02, and 1980 -03.

He explained that on Friday, March 21, 1980, the State reviewed the project with the Federal Highway Administration. He explained that the Federal Highway Administration suggested that the State include the paving project on a State contract and that the City should pro- ' ceed with a separate contract for curb and gutter so that the curb and gutter project can be assured of completion before the State contract for the paving is let. RESOLUTION NO. 80 -71 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following.resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND DIRECTING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR SUMMIT DRIVE NORTH (SIDEWALK, CURB & GUTTER CONTRACT 1980 -D) The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Dean Nyquist, Tony Kuefler, Bill Fignar, Gene Lhotka, and Celia Scott; and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.

PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS The City Manager introduced Planning Commission Application No. 80008 submitted by Jerry Harrington on behalf of the Osseo - Brooklyn Bus Company. He explained that the application is a request for a special use permit to use one of the three warehouse type buildings approved'under Application No. 78043 at 4455 68th Avenue North for a bus garage. He noted the Planning Commission, at its March 13, 1980 meeting, recommended denial of the application. The Director of Planning and Inspection proceeded to review the portion of the minutes of the March 13, 1980 Planning Commission meeting pertaining to Planning Commission Application No. 80008. The Director of Planning and Inspection also reviewed the Planning Commission information sheet prepared for Application No. 80008. He added that the notices of public hearing have been sent and that the applicant was present at this evening's meeting. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 80008. Mayor Nyquist recognized the applicant, Mr. Jerry Harrington, who requested to address the Council regarding his special use permit request. Mr. Harrington proceeded to read and review a letter sent by him to the City of Brooklyn Center dated February 26, 1980 which stated the reasons why he believed his special use permit, submitted under Application No. 80008, should be approved by the City of Brooklyn Center. Mr. Harrington explained that school buses operate only five days a week and that a bus wash is necessary to clean the buses and that this facility would not be used as a stepping stone to expand on their repair work for the buses. He stated there are two adjacent uses which are almost identical to the proposed bus storage facility that the Osseo - Brooklyn Bus Company is requesting. Mr. Harrington introduced Mr. Miller who is the attorney for Mr. Reagan, the owner of the Osseo- Brooklyn Bus Company. Mr. Miller stated that the language in the ordinance does not address the school bus storage issue and noted that it is a unique use. He stated that if the school bus storage facility is to be allowed, the ordinance should be amended to include this type of use, adding the words "school bus garage ". He explained school buses are unique types of vehicles and that a commercial area is conducive to this type of facility. He stated that Mr. Reagan has proposed to park 18 buses in the garage and that the buses would serve the local area and thus conserve energy. He indicated that the MTC buses are not similar to school buses and that the school bus serves a more limited function. He explained the school bus storage is not a use associated with an industrial zone, and that it is appropriate in a C -2 zone and especially in this particular location. Mayor Nyquist questioned whether Mr. Harrington was requesting a special use permit or an ordinance change. Mr. Miller explained that he would request a special use permit but believes that an ordinance change is appropriate and believes that allowing the facility under the present ordinance would mean giving the present ordinance much administrative gloss. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Kuefler to close the public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 80008. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Kuefler; Fignar, Lhotka, and Scott. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously. 3 -24 -80 -7- Councilmember Fignar inquired whether there would be any night operations at the facility for cleaning buses. Mr. Reagan replied that there would be no night operations at the facility. He added that his company has been con- tracting bus service in Osseo for 18 years and in order to be competitive they must move vehicles closer to school sites.- He explained there would be some limited use of the buses in the evenings for high school athletic events, etc. Councilmember Fignar inquired how many jobs would be created at the facility. Mr. Reagan replied that three jobs would probably be created including a terminal manager, secretary and dispatcher. Councilmember Fignar questioned what the zoning of Iten Chevrolet and the NSP site was. The Director of Planning and Inspection stated that Iten Chevrolet, the Post Office,.and NSP were in a C -2 zone and that Iten Chevrolet is a special use permit, the Post Office is a permitted use and the NSP facility was permitted under a 1965 Zoning Ordinance. The Director of Planning and Inspection went on to explain that a public transportation terminal, as defined by the City's Ordi- nance is a departure and arrival point for passengers. He explained that a bus terminal, such as a Greyhound terminal, would not be permitted even as a special use in the C -2 zone. He explained a public transportation terminal is a point of arrival and departure and not a storage facility. He pointed out that the Planning Commission, in reviewing Application No. 80008, looked at the issue as a land use question and that they believed the bus storage facility is best located in an industrial zone. Councilmember Kuefler questioned how the present ordinance would have to be changed to allow the bus storage facility. The Director of Planning and Inspec- tion explained that one possible alternative would be to expand the definition of public transportation terminal to include storage of vehicles. He added that he would not recommend it be a permitted use in a C -2 zone and that presently the bus storage facility is not addressed in the C -2 zone uses.. Councilmember Kuefler noted that he does not view the bus storage facility as an incompatible use in this area but would not want to allow such a use in all C -2 zones. Councilmember Scott pointed out that there appeared to be two land use issues at question, one being a school bus storage facility and the other being a public transportation terminal use. She explained she does not view the school bus storage facility as undesirable and that she does not view the special use in this location as a problem. At the request of Councilmember Scott, Mr. Michael ?ten explained that the area in question is not suitable for retail use and that he does not see any problem with using the area for a bus storage facility. Mayor Nyquist suggested the possibility of rewording the ordinance to somehow include the school bus storage facility. Councilmember Fignar stated that he believes the Planning Commission did its proper job and he would now want to look at revising the ordinance. Mayor Nyquist inquired what the procedure would be for revising the ordinance. The Director of Planning and Inspection explained that, if the special use permit is denied, it cannot be brought before the Council again for one year. He added that, if the ordinance is amended, it should be turned back to the Planning Commission to address the land use question. Councilmember Kuefler expressed a concern over the time problem presented to the applicant in this situation and suggested that the shortest possible route be found. The Director of Planning and Inspection explained that if the question is referred back to the Planning Commission, it could be back to the Council in one to one and one -half months but that the ordinance itself would take an additional 45 days. The City Attorney explained that he can appreciate the concern for time considerations but that referring the question back to the Planning Commission is the only option the City Council has, and that this is required for an 3 -24 -80 -8- ordinance change. There was a motion by Councilmember Kuefler and seconded by Councilmember Fignar to return Planning Commission Application No. 80008 to the Planning Commission for an ordinance amendment. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Kuefler, Fignar, Lhotka, and Scott. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously. The City Manager noted that, in consideration of the time constraints of the applicant, construction of the facility could begin without the ordinance amendment but that the use of the facility would not be permitted without the change in the ordinance. The City Manager introduced Planning Commission Application No. 80009 submitted by Peter Ulmaniec. He explained.the application is a request to resubdivide two pre existing.lots at 5907 Bryant Avenue North and 5906 Colfax Avenue North which were previously combined for tax purposes. He added the Planning Com- mission, at its March 13, 1980 meeting, recommended approval of the application. The Director of Planning and 'Inspection proceeded to review the portion of the March 13, 1980 Planning Commission meeting minutes pertaining to Application No. 80009 and also reviewed the Planning Commission information sheet prepared for Application No. 80009. The Director of Planning and Inspection stated that the proper public notices had been sent, a public hearing has been held by the Planning Commission, and the applicant is present at this evening's meeting. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 80009. There was no one to speak on the application. There was a motion by Councilmember Kuefler and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to close the public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 80009. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Kuefler, Fignar, Lhotka, and Scott. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously. There was a motion by Councilmember Fignar and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to approve Planning Commission Application No. 80009 submitted by Peter Ulmaniec to resubdivide two pre- existing lots between Bryant Avenue North and Colfax Avenue North in the 5900 block subject to the following conditions: 1. The resubdivision is subject to the approval of the City Engineer and the City Assessor prior to the filing with the County. 2. The resubdivision approval does not comprehend approval of any other action pertaining to the use of the property. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Kuefler, Fignar, Lhotka, and Scott. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.

CONTINUATION OF RESOLUTIONS The City Manager introduced a resolution approving the purchase of a 7.5 kw generator for use by the Volunteer Fire Department. He stated it is recom- mended the quotation of Flaherty Equipment Corporation in the amount of $2,540 be accepted. RESOLUTION NO. 80 -73 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF 7.5 KW GASOLINE ENGINE DRIVEN GENERATOR The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Tony Kuefler, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Dean Nyquist, Tony Kuefler, Bill Fignar, Gene Lhotka, and Celia Scott; and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.

The City Manager introduced a resolution establishing Pedestrian and Bikeway Bridge Project No. 1980 -06 and ordering preparation of project development report. He explained the City Council, on February 25, 1980, authorized the consultant to prepare this PDR. He noted this resolution establishes the project for accounting purposes. RESOLUTION NO. 80 -75 Member Bill Fignar introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PEDESTRIAN /BIKEWAY BRIDGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1980 -06 AND ORDERING PREPARATION OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT REPORT The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Gene Lhotka, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Dean Nyquist, Tony Kuefler, Bill Fignar, Gene Lhotka, and Celia Scott; and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. The City Manager introduced a resolution establishing Geometric Improvement Project No. 1980 -07 and ordering preparation of plans and specifications (Humboldt Avenue -65th Avenue intersection). He noted this project is being established to complement Traffic Signal Project No. 1979 -10 by providing required islands, 3 -24 -80 -10- channelization and turn lanes. The City Attorney returned to the table at 9:51 p.m. The Director of Public Works explained that traffic counts conducted by the State and the City's consultant at the Humboldt Avenue -65th Avenue intersection were reviewed by the City staff. The Director of Public Works noted that the traffic counts at the intersection justify the recommended signalization and channelization of traffic at the'intersection. He explained the City has a tentative agreement with the State on signalization and that the State will pay 25, of the $80,000 cost with the remaining $60,000 to be paid by the City. He added that the staff would like more input from the consultant on the design of the intersection. He noted that the staff wants to include the project with the Shingle Creek project to obtain a better overall bid. Councilmember Fignar inquired what the target date for the project would be. The Director of Public Works explained the reconstruction of the intersection is planned for completion by the fall of 1980 and that the traffic signal is planned to be under contract by early summer. In response to a question by Councilmember Kuefler, the City Manager explained that MSA funds would be used on the project. Councilmember Kuefler questioned whether the $6,500 bid from the consulting firm of Short- Elliott- Hendrickson was a competitive bid. The Director of Public Works explained the $6,500 is calculated on a per hour basis and that the City would do most of the surveying, thus limiting the cost of the consultant to $6,500.

The Director of Public Works noted that in almost all new installations, this type of system is being installed.
