MINUTES OF THE • <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,May 13,2013 . <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (9. NAVARRE UPDATE, Continued) <br /> Struve stated that is correct. Struve noted Spring Park is not replacing their wiring. If the wiring is not <br /> replaced at the same time as the street poles,there will be an additional cost to remove the poles. <br /> Bremer asked if the sidewalks would also be impacted to some degree if the wiring is replaced at a later <br /> time. <br /> Struve indicated some of the bases might need to be replaced but that it would be difficult to determine <br /> the exact costs. <br /> Loftus asked if the conduit provides any type of weather protection for the wiring. <br /> Struve indicated there may be some insulation on the wire but that the wire would be better protected in <br /> the conduit. <br /> McMillan stated once the City gets a better idea on what the costs will be for Old Highway 12,they can <br /> make a decision on the wiring. <br /> Struve suggested the City explore that option further and that it be included in the bid initially and <br /> removed at a later date if necessary. <br /> Anderson commented she would like those items to be built in when they apply for the grants and that the <br /> City does not need to go forward with them if the funding is not available. <br /> Bremer asked what type of pole accessories Staff is contemplating. <br /> Struve noted the pole accessory prices are for all the poles and not per pole. Struve indicated he would <br /> like some direction on what type of accessories the City is interested in. <br /> Anderson stated when the accessories are retrofitted,they do not quite fit right and that it is something <br /> that probably should be decided in advance. <br /> Printup asked what the difference is between the electrical outlet versus the electrical panel replacement. <br /> Struve indicated spring Park is intermittently replacing existing electrical panels which are tall silver <br /> panels that will house the meters. <br /> Printup asked if those are required. <br /> Struve noted Spring Park is replacing all of their electrical panels but not the wiring underground. The <br /> outlets are specifically little plug-ins for Christmas lights or a lighted banner. <br /> Printup asked if the poles are rated for Minnesota weather. <br /> Struve indicated the poles are stainless steel and have a 50-year life expectancy. <br /> Page 18 of 26 <br />
