MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON MAY 22, 1995 <br />( #10 -Old Crystal Bay Road Bike Trail - Continued) <br />• <br />Goetten questioned if the trail segments are more costly to construct in small pieces. <br />Moorse agreed that in general large projects are cheaper overall, but the City can use <br />Staff to offset some of the costs. <br />Kelley inquired if the bids would need to be renegotiated. Moorse said the contractor <br />will hold to the bituminous unit prices. Cook agreed but Staff needs to award the bids <br />and deduct down to a certain price. <br />Callahan asked if any land acquisitions are needed. Gerhardson said temporary <br />easements would be needed from the Minich and Thompson properties. Moorse said <br />Minch was in favor of the trail but was concerned with landscape screening. <br />Jabbour asked if the DNR grant counts towards the matching funds by Hennepin County. <br />Moorse indicated the original agreement indicated any ISTEA grant money would be <br />equally shared by the City and Hennepin Parks. <br />Kelley said Jim White of the Parks Commission has spoken with the Hennepin Parks <br />Superintendent, who approved of the plan for the trail, wanted to continue with the <br />project, but was unable to concentrate on the project at this time due to other <br />commitments. <br />Is Callahan confirmed the need for the Hwy 12/CoRd 6 interchange. Callahan said the bike <br />trail was important and should be done even without the funding in place. <br />• <br />Callahan moved, Kelley seconded, to proceed with the trail.
