� MINUTES OF THE <br /> ' ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,October 28,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (9. PRELIMINARYPLANS FOR 2014 NAVARRE STREET LIGHT AND SIDEWALK <br /> PROJECT, Continued) <br /> Bremer asked if Council Member Printup is wondering whether the brackets should be installed. <br /> Struve stated they are moving forward with banner brackets on all the poles, light receptacles on all the <br /> poles, and that the flower pot holders were only in the commercial area. <br /> Anderson stated she would like to hear about what Spring Park has found in connection with their <br /> controls. <br /> Struve indicated Spring Park has run into some issues with the wiring and that initially they were just <br /> going to replace the poles and light fixtures and leave the bases and existing wiring. What Spring Lake <br /> found was a good portion of the wiring system did have issues and they ended up replacing approximately <br /> 3,000 feet of wire after the fact. Struve stated he does not have an amount of what the additional costs <br /> were. While Spring Park was able to reuse some of the bases, approximately one-third needed to be <br /> replaced. <br /> Struve stated it would be his recommendation to include in the bid replacement of all the bases and that a <br /> decision can be made out in the field on whether they need to be replaced. <br /> Levang asked if all the wiring in Spring Park was replaced. <br /> Struve indicated it is his understanding only portions were replaced. <br /> Bremer stated it would be interesting to look at the color of the poles. Bremer noted some of the poles <br /> look dirtier than others once they are installed. Bremer stated she would encourage the Council and <br /> members of the public to look at the color of the poles since some poles appear to be dirtier and less well <br /> kept. Bremer stated the City does not want to have to paint the poles periodically. <br /> Struve indicated he is attempting to get color samples for the poles in both brown and black but that he <br /> has been having some difficulty obtaining them. <br /> McMillan noted the plan calls for the replacement of lighting attached to traffic signal poles at the <br /> intersection of County Roads 15 and 19 and that it was her understanding that was Hennepin County's <br /> jurisdiction. <br /> Struve stated he would verify that with Hennepin County. <br /> McMillan stated it would make sense to leave existing lighting on the traffic signal poles if they are going <br /> to be redoing the intersection in a few years. <br /> McMillan asked if it would make sense to break out the wiring bid for the east and west side of Navarre <br /> Avenue. McMillan noted the majority of the repair is occurring between County Road 19 west to Navarre <br /> Avenue and that perhaps they could just replace the wiring on the east side. McMillan stated if it is a <br /> significant savings, it might be worth looking at. <br /> Page 9 of 14 ____ __ <br />
