NEW BUSINESS:
1. Resolution Authorizing Changes in Appropriations for the 2011 Budget for January
through October 2011.
William Burns, City Manager, stated these changes are due to grants, donations and unforeseen
expenditures. With respect to ordinary General Fund changes, the City had revenues of $43,968.
Most of these are donations and reimbursements. Expenditures are all related to grants,
reimbursements, etc. with one exception. The City did spend $13,942 in unbudgeted money for
a Village Green appraisal that was associated with a valuation challenge for Village Green which
is still in court.
Dr. Burns stated there is a category for additional costs due to Police Department union contract
changes that were not budgeted, which amounted to $47,094, for salaries and benefits for the
City's organized police officers and sergeants.
Dr. Burns stated another category of costs in the amount of $63,574 attributable to the May 23
tornado. We expect to be reimbursed for these expenses by FEMA, but are not exactly sure
when that will occur. Finally, there was a revenue adjustment, and the amount of $23,467 was
transferred from the Fridley Community Center Funds.
Dr. Burns said staff recommends Council's approval.
ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 2011-57.
2. Resolution to Approve an Agreement with Minnesota Department of
Transportation to Provide for a Delegated Contract Process.
Dr. Burns said this agreement replaces an existing agreement that allows the City to perform
under a delegated contract process to complete transportation projects receiving federal aid. It
allows the City to work directly with MnDOT rather than having to work with the Federal
Highway Administration. Staff sees the changes as minor and recommends Council's approval.
ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 2011-58.
3. Approve Change Order No. 1 for Sanitary Sewer Lining Project.
Dr. Burns stated the change order provides funding for additional work outside the original
sewer lining contract with VEIT. The items include the following:
•$1,690.37 (Cleaning and televising the storm sewer line crossing W. Moore Lake
Drive near the Fridley Middle School);
•$1,585 (Removal of a sewer snake found in a sewer main);
•$7,956 (Lining of an additional 330 feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer line on 75tn
Avenue); and
•$1,166.24 (Additional cleaning and televising of a sewer main on Channel Road).
