Elk River <br /> 1unicipal Utilities <br /> 322 King Avenue phone: 763.441.2020 <br /> FA River, MN 55330 Fax 763.4418099 <br /> May 6, 2002 <br /> To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> James Tralle <br /> John Dietz <br /> George Zabee <br /> From: Bryan C. Adams <br /> Subject: Jackson Street Water Tower <br /> At the March 12, 2002, Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission meeting, authorization was <br /> given to demolish the Jackson Street Water Tower. As you may recall, the property directly east <br /> of this tower is being redeveloped. The property owner has given us permission to use his <br /> property to set equipment to remove this tower. Staff has secured two prices to remove this <br /> tower and they are as follows: <br /> Iseler Demolition $30,900 <br /> TM1 $26,500 <br /> As seen in the recent article in the Elk River Star News, the Heritage Preservation Commission <br /> desires to preserve this tower. The tower will need to be painted in a year of so. The estimated <br /> cost is estimated to be: <br /> Paint Exterior Only $ 50,000 <br /> and on- going every 12 years ± <br /> Blast & Paint Exterior $100,000 <br /> The exterior ladder & cage is damages and needs to be repaired soon if the tower is kept. <br /> If the Heritage Commission or some other identity does not want to take the financial risk and <br /> liability for this tower, staff continues to recommend the tower be demolished soon. <br /> 82 <br />
