<br />rei -\) <br />( ); <br />rIll <br /> <br />ITEM 4. 1. <br /> <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />PAT KLAERS, CITY ADMINISTRATOR <br /> <br />DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 1993 <br />SUBJECT: JARVIS STREET <br /> <br />At a recent City Council meeting, discussion took place <br />regarding a change order to the 165th Avenue overlay project to <br />include work on Jarvis Street. It is anticipated that this <br />change order will be in the $36,000 range. Twenty-four <br />thousand dollars worth of work is anticipated to be needed on <br />the part of Jarvis Street that borders both Elk River and <br />Ramsey. Elk River requested a financial contribution from <br />Ramsey before proceeding with work on this part of the street <br />that is our common boundary. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Attached for your review is the response from the City of <br />Ramsey. Ramsey indicated very clearly that it wished to be a <br />good neighbor and cooperate with this project. However, they <br />also indicate that they have some assessment procedures that <br />they must follow and are very concerned about setting a <br />precedent in this case. Ramsey has volunteered to pay $9,150 <br />toward this overlay project. Staff recommends accepting this <br />offer and authorizing the change order for the overlay work on <br />all of Jarvis Street. <br /> <br />If there were no benefitted property owners on the City of <br />Ramsey's side of this project, I am confident that Ramsey would <br />have split this project with us on a 50/50 basis. However, due <br />to a concern over a precedent setting situation, I can <br />understand the City of Ramsey's position. I feel that we <br />should accept this proposal due to the uncertainty of bid <br />prices in the future for this work and our strong desire to <br />have this street improved at this time. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />P.O.
