ITEM 4. Howard R, Green Company CONSULTING ENGINEERS April 6, 1998 File: 802640j-0060 CONSULTING ENGINEER~ Formerly MSA Consulting Engineers Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway P. O. Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330-0490 RE: LAKE ORONO SEDIMENT REMOVAL PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING Dear Council Members: As you are aware, the public hearing for the Lake Orono Sediment Removal Project is scheduled for Monday, April 13, 1998. Please bring the green covered Feasibility Study. If you need another copy of the Feasibility Study, please inform City Hall and we can make them available. Steve Rohlf has been working on this project for the past 18 - 24 months. The project consists of removing approximately 110,000 cubic yards of sediment from Lake Orono and depositing them on five (5) different pieces of property adjacent to the lake. Most, if not all, of the property owners proposed to be assessed for this project, should have a general knowledge of the project through the various meetings that Steve has held and mailings from the Lake Owners Association. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $750,000. The City Council, earlier this year, set the assessment rate at $2,200, per residential equivalent unit. This results in approximately $358,600 worth of assessments, excluding City property. There is an additional 26 units or $57,200 of assessments which are City owned property. The remaining share of the project cost is $334,200 which is proposed to be funded by the City. At Monday evening's public hearing, both Steve Rohlf and I will be available to make a presentation and answer any questions that the City Council and/or public may have. At the close of the public hearing, the Council action needed to have the project proceed would be to adopt the attached resolution ordering the improvement and the preparation of plans and specifications. As the schedule in the Feasibility Study indicates, plans and specifications would be available for City Council approval at the May 4, 1998 meeting. The project would be bid in late May with an assessment hearing scheduled for late June prior to award of the contract. The construction is anticipated to take approximately 3 months starting in August and being complete by the end of October. If you have any questions regarding this project, please call. Sincerely, Howard R. Green Company Terry ~.~u~rer, P.E.
