MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,September 11,207 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 9. 2017 SANITARY SEWER INSPECTION <br /> Edwards stated each year as part of its preventative maintenance program the City cleans and inspects 20 <br /> percent of its sanitary sewer system. The sanitary sewer inspection project will consist of televising <br /> approximately 25,000 feet of sanitary sewer pipe. The City received two quotes,with the low bid coming <br /> from Ritter and Ritter, Inc., for$16,100. <br /> Walsh commented by doing the televising,the City is being proactive in its maintenance of the City's <br /> infrastructure. <br /> Seals asked how often the City does the televising. <br /> Edwards indicated it is done yearly,which helps Staff identify which areas of the system are in need of <br /> repair for the following year. <br /> Dankey moved,Seals seconded,to accept the proposal from Ritter and Ritter for sanitary sewer <br /> televising for$16,100. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> 14. OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD TEMPORARY TURN LANES <br /> Edwards stated the City is currently working on a permanent reconstruction plan for Old Crystal Bay <br /> Road between Highway 112 and County Road 6. Some initial design options should be ready sometime <br /> in October. In the interim,the City took some measures to improve the safety in that area by restricting a <br /> left turn onto Old Crystal Bay Road from County Road 6. In addition, Staff has looked at installing <br /> temporary turn lanes into the middle school and high school parking lots. The low bid to construct the <br /> temporary turn lanes was$48,900. <br /> Edwards stated in his view the turn lanes would help with some of the congestion issues and most of the <br /> work to the subgrade and soil would be usable in whatever permanent solution is decided upon. Due to <br /> the cost,at this time Staff recommends holding off on the project until the permanent fix is done next <br /> year. <br /> Seals noted the City Council previously discussed the speed on County Road 6,and asked whether the <br /> County has been approached to do a speed study. <br /> Edwards stated given the data in the past,County Road 6 would not qualify for a speed reduction or a <br /> signal. Hennepin County did,however, send notice today that they are reconsidering the signal. <br /> Dankey stated she has heard from people in the community that people are still performing a left-hand <br /> turn in that area even though it is now illegal. <br /> Walsh noted the City Council has discussed this item previously and had actually approved some <br /> improvements to Old Crystal Bay Road,but the school board elected to wait with those improvements <br /> until after their traffic study was completed. Walsh recommended the Council keep the $50,000 on the <br /> table to ensure there is ample money to complete the permanent project next year. <br /> Dankey indicated she is in agreement with Mayor Walsh. <br /> Page 5 of 17 <br />
