TO; <br />FROM; <br />DATE: <br />I <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />August 16, 1993 <br />SUBJECT: Old Crystal Bay Road Bike Trail <br />COUNCIL MEETING <br />AUG 2 3 199,1 <br />CITYOFORONO <br />In recent discussions with Doug Bryant, Hennepin Parks <br />Superintendent, he indicated that although he was still supportive <br />of the bike trail project and of a cooperative arrangement between <br />the City and Hennepin Parks for the trail, he had decided to <br />recommend to the Park Board that they exercise the option in the <br />agreement to not go forward with the agreement due to the bids <br />coming in beyond the engineer's estimate. Mr Bryant emphasized <br />that he wants to continue to work with the City to review the <br />current plans to find opportunities for savings and to review <br />alternative methods of providing a pathway at a lower cost. He <br />will recommend to the Park Board that the funding that has been set <br />aside for the bike trail be reserved for this project. <br />This action by Hennepin Parks means that the pathway bids need to <br />be rejected. It is recommended that staff continue to work with <br />Hennepin Parks to review alternatives within a time frame that <br />enables new bids to be let in mid-winter of 1994.
