J~ <br />ElkRiver -~-~ <br />___. <br />Municipal Utilities <br />322 King Avenue <br />Elk River, bIN 55330 <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 />phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Far: 763.441.8099 <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 />TMI $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 />
