WATERTOWN ROAD FEASIBILITY STUDY,Continued) <br /> Struve stated the entire Watertown Road west of Willow is classified MSA and that Staff will need to <br /> look at the availability of funds and how much is remaining in bonds. Struve indicated funds could <br /> possibly be rededicated to Watertown Road from Willow Drive. If it is funded completely through the <br /> City, MSA standards may not need to be followed. Struve stated those options will be looked at in the <br /> feasibility study. <br /> McMillan asked whether the City is collecting any MSA money or whether it is all being allocated <br /> towards the bonds. <br /> Olson stated the City is accruing some MSA funds but that he does not have an exact figure tonight. <br /> Struve indicated that will also be part of the feasibility study. <br /> Anderson moved,Levang seconded,to approve the proposal from Bolton &Menk for the <br /> completion of a feasibility study for Watertown Road between McCulley Road and the west city <br /> limits of Long Lake in an amount not to exceed$22,000. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> PUBLIC WORKS DIItECTOR/CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT,CONTINUED <br /> Struve reported the forcemain project on Rest Point has been completed and that the work on Tonkawa is <br /> still in process. Struve stated as was previously discussed at a Council meeting,he did conduct a visual <br /> analysis of what was in Rest Point to get an understanding of what may be viable. Some soil testing will <br /> need to be done before a definite conclusion can be reached. Struve stated preliminarily he does not feel <br /> an overlay will be warranted since there are already two overlays on that road. <br /> Struve stated depending on the soil testing, in his view reclamation would be a viable option,which <br /> would be cheaper than a total reconstruction. <br /> Struve reported the Public Works has started to dismantle the play equipment at Bederwood Park. The <br /> majority of the equipment will be removed except for the center swing set. The gravel,posts and footings <br /> will also be removed. Struve stated the anticipated scheduled for the new equipment to be installed is <br /> early October. <br /> Bremer asked if it will still be gravel. <br /> Struve indicated it will be wood chips and that the gravel is not approved under the ADA. <br /> Levang asked what will happen with the pea gravel. <br /> Struve stated it will be salvaged and stored and then used on other construction projects by the Public <br /> Works Department. <br /> Levang asked if any other play equipment will be located there. <br /> Struve indicated there will be a smaller playground for younger children and some equipment for older <br /> children. Struve stated he can forward the graphics of the new equipment to the City Council. <br /> Page 7 of 11 <br />
