I I I Council Meeting Minutes August 22, 1995 Page 3 Council Business. continued Motion by Williams, seconded by Larson, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE INTERIM ORDINANCE RELATED TO TEMPORARY SIGNS ALONG A CERTAIN SECTION ALONG SILVER LAKE ROAD, AND WAIVE ANY FEES REQUIRED FOR THE SIGN PERMIT. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Community Development Director Kevin Locke presented for consideration a revised purchase agreement for the Dolle Property/D & T Trucking (TIP #15). D & T Trucking is located at 498 Pirst St. NW in the Brighton Corporate Park. Some modifications are needed to the proposed purchase agreement and the changes primarily relate to the underground tanks and environmental testing on the site. Dolle has agreed to remove the three underground tanks on the site instead of allowing the City to do environmental testing around the tanks. The tanks are old and are the primary potential risks on the site. Their removal eliminates the risk and is the best way to ascertain whether they have leaked. Tank removals must follow MPCA regulations. Under the original agreement, the City would have had to remove the tanks. Requiring D & T to remove the tanks makes them clearly responsible for clean up. The tanks will be removed within 45 days of the execution of the purchase agreement. The transfer of the property will not occur until the tanks are gone and no further testing or clean up is required. The City will reimburse D & T for the removal of the tanks. Benke asked that in the event a problem is found would it then be Dolle's responsibility for the remediation. Locke confirmed that if a problem is found, it is Dolle's responsibility for remediation, and the City would have the ability to cancel the purchase agreement at that time. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Williams, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE REVISED PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE IT. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. City Engineer Les Proper presented the lighting system change order for the Silver Lake Road reconstruction project. Collins Electric, the subcontractor for the project, has suggested a change to lighting standards included in the specifications. The Sterner Executive style luminaries and aluminum poles chosen by Council are rather uncommon and expensive. Collins proposes to substitute a Millerbernd pole and Hubbell luminaries for a $90,000 deduction in the contract price for the lighting system. Proper has reviewed the Millerbernd and Hubbell lighting system and did not notice a difference between these and the Sterner style. The Millerbernd poles are steel rather than aluminum and will require occasional painting. Steel poles are stiffer and stronger which result in less luminary maintenance.
