OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD RECONSTRUCTION, Continued) <br /> <br />McMillan asked if he is speaking about the trees located outside the curb. <br /> <br />Kellogg stated the trees around the perimeter of the roundabouts would be equivalent to the number of <br />trees that would be removed as part of the project. Kellogg asked what the direction is on the irrigation <br />system. <br /> <br />McMillan stated the irrigation system could be voted on. <br /> <br />Bremer stated in her view the plans should have remained as they were. <br /> <br />Printup pointed out the school board was open to having the water run come off of their line and that they <br />would pay for it. It was later discovered that the school did not have the water capacity and that it would <br />have to come off the city line, which would result in the taxpayers paying for that water usage. Printup <br />noted the City would be responsible for the installation of the irrigation system and asked whether the <br />City would also be paying for the water. <br /> <br />Kellogg indicated yes. <br /> <br />Printup noted the City does not water its own parks and that he would make a motion to remove the <br />irrigation on Old Crystal Bay Road. <br /> <br />Printup moved to remove the irrigation system from the plans and specifications. <br /> <br />Franchot asked whether Council Member Printup would also like to cease watering the grass in front of <br />city hall. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the City does water the grass immediately in front of the city hall building. <br /> <br />Printup stated his motion would be to remove the irrigation from Old Crystal Bay Road as part of this <br />project. <br /> <br />MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. <br /> <br />Rahn moved to have the plans and specifications modified to include an alternate bid for the <br />median shrubbery, an alternate bid for the installation of the sprinkler system, and an alternate bid <br />for the landscape contractor to water the landscaping. <br /> <br />Rahn stated once the bids come in, the Council would then have the option to select whichever alternate <br />they prefer. <br /> <br />Franchot asked if Council Member Rahn's motion would also include an alternate bid for the landscaping <br />plan as proposed. <br /> <br />Rahn indicated he would be willing to make that an alternate bid as well. <br /> <br />Rahn amended his motion to have the plans and specifications modified to include the current <br />landscaping plan as an alternate bid, to include an alternate bid for the trees in the roundabouts, to <br />include the median landscaping as an alternate, to include the contractor maintaining the <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 04/11/2011 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 03/28/2011 <br />[Page 13 of 24]
