VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT 14. HAZARDOUS BUILDING COSTS AT 200 HOLLANDER ROAD Rahn noted there are some inconsistencies in the demolition bids that should be addressed. Rahn commented that it looks as though one of the bids includes the permit cost and one does not and one bid includes the capping of the wells and one does not. Rahn indicated he would also like to see the permit cost included in all bids as well as the silt fence. Rahn noted that both bids seem to exclude the silt fence. The bill from Veit talks about sealing and capping the two wells and the other one does not include that. Rahn commented the Council should have something that is more apples to apples. Mattick indicated he does not know why there are differences in the bids and that Staff can clarify those issues. Rahn moved to table Item No. 14, hazardous building request for 200 Hollander Road, and to request compatible bids from the two bidders. Mattick asked if there were any other items besides capping of the wells and the silt fence that should be addressed. Rahn stated the permit cost and the capping of the two wells is the largest issue but that the silt fencing should also be included. Bremer stated she would prefer they bid on a list of items the City wants completed. Mattick stated the court order allows the City to demo the house and all structures and then level off the land. Mattick indicated he will speak with Lyle and bring this item back to the next Council meeting. Printup seconded the motion. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. Page 29 of 30
