City Council Minutes November 5, 1984 Page Five Mr. Jeff Roos, representative of Consulting Engineers Diversified, indicated that the estimated cost is based on private suppliers providing the lights and poles and the construction. Mr. Roos indicated that the feasibility considered a standard metal curved pole for the street lights. Mr. Roos indicated that the price for the pole was $810.00 and $300.00 for the base. Mr. Roos indicated that there is approxi- mately,850 feet of wiring estimated at approximately $300.00 per pole. Mr. Roos indicated that the project would require some jack boring for a line under the street at $200.00 and sod restoration at $600.00. Mr. Roos indicated that those costs extended for three poles would be approximately $6,400 with five percent contingency and an overhead cost of $1,300, bringing the total cost of the project to $8,000.

Cliff Lundberg Parking/Curb Situation The City Administrator indicated that Resolution 84~28 is a resolution regulating the parking on Jackson Avenue at the intersection of 4th Street and requesting the Minnesota Department of Transportation concur with the City of Elk River's findings. The City Administrator indicated that it is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution, thereby eliminating parking on Jackson for a distance of 90 feet north from the intersection of 4th Street. The City Administrator further indicated that it is recommended that the City Council not restrict parking on 4th Street at this time. Mr. Cliff Lundberg indicated that he felt if the City Council was to restrict parking 90 feet to the north from the intersection of Jackson and 4th Street, they should also restrict parking 90 feet to the south. Mr. Lundberg indicated that he felt the City Council should restrict parking as little as possible as it would b much easier to increase the restricted parking area rather than decrease the re- stricted parking area. Mr. Cliff Lundberg indicated that he felt if the City Coun- cil's objective was to promote a business climate within the City of Elk River, they should not place parking restrictions at his intersection and further,indicated that if there should be some restrictions, it should be limited to thirty-minute parking, and if that does not work, eliminate parking during the rush hour. Mr. Lundberg indicated that with curb cuts as he has proposed it will provide for a well- defined parking area along Jackson Avenue and 4th Street.
