Ponding Easement in Block 7, Dakota County Estates THE AGENDA IS CLOSED OUT AT NOON ON THE TUESDAY PRECEDING THE MEETING AGENDA REQUEST FORM ITEM NO. NAME: Tom Kaldunski DEPARTMENT: Public Works /- DATE: August 14, 1991 MEETING DATE: August 19, 1991 CATEGORY: Unfinished Business SUBJECT: Bids for 1 1/2 Yard Dumpsters EXPLANATION: The City had set a bid date for selling the 1 1/2 yard dumpsters. I'm anticipating to rebid. REFERENCE MATERIAL/RESPONSIBILITY: Memo - Tom REFERRED TO: (NAME) DEPARTMENT: Larry Thompson Administration Wayne Henneke Finance Tom Kaldunski Public Works Benno Klotz 1if/04 MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL SUBJECT: DUMPSTER BIDS DATE: AUGUST 15, 1991 The City had advertised to sell 110 - 1 1/2 yard dumpsters because the Public Works department is converting to 300 gallon dumpsters and automated collection. On August 14, 1991, one bid was received from Knutsen Services, Inc. in the amount of $2,500. This amounts to an average of $22.73 per dumpster. Two other firms (Dick's Sanitation and Rayfo) had expressed interest in bidding, however they did not feel comfortable in submitting bids without seeing the merchandise. It had been the departments intent to have all the dumpsters at one central location to allow prospective bidders the opportunity to see them. This could not be done as originally planned because the new automated vehicle has not been delivered to date. The Council has two options: 1) Accept Knutsens bid of $2,500. or 2) reject the bid at this time and rebid the dumpster sale once the department has received the automated truck, converted to 300 gallon containers and located the 1 1/2 yard dumpsters at a central location. It is my recommendation that the Council take Option 2 - Rebidding. The Council should recognize that bids could come in higher and/or lower by rebidding. Thomas J.

DATE: August 16, 1991 /b MEETING DATE: August 19, 1991 CATEGORY: Add-On SUBJECT: Ponding Easement in Block 7, Dakota County Estates EXPLANATION: Illeagal refuse in pond REFERENCE MATERIAL/RESPONSIBILITY: Letter - Larry Thompson REFERRED TO: (NAME) DEPARTMENT: Larry Thompson Administration Department Heads SI MEMO TO: MAYOR & COUNCIL SUBJECT: DAKOTA COUNTY ESTATES ADDITION - POND DATE: AUGUST 16, 1991 The City has received a request to place discussion of the Dakota County Estates Addition pond on the agenda. The request came in response to a complaint and subsequent letter sent to property owners surrounding the pond and newspaper article (see attached) . I have discussed the matter with several of the property owners, and apparently the concerns go beyond floating debris (eg. trespassing and grass dumping) . At this time, based on my observations, it does not appear that the amount of litter in the pond justifies the City ordering (or implementing) the cleanup. It appears this would only be a short term solution. I feel the letter was timely from the standpoint of initiating discussion. Based on the number of phone calls, it is hoped that a dialogue can be established between the City and residents to arrive at a long term solution. In this sense, the discussion of the topic will also be timely, and it is hoped that the Council will receive valuable input from the citizens. I am inviting residents adjacent to the pond, by copy of this memo, to the Council meeting on August 19, 1991 at 7:00 P.M. in City Hall. /7/1,' 727.44--" Larry Thompson City Administrator LT/js cc: Tom Kaldunski Dan Siebenaler Karen Finstuen file .1.4 ' vi ,c- 6I '13 �K M 1 4 ac -, - It. : a - .4alic ui %A / •± 1 1 • = 7h t U1 , c� ,k 1 .
