Session 1758 <br />May 24, 1999 <br /> <br />planted by them. The Mayor said that it is still in University City. Mr. Ollendorff said that <br />this should be alright since it is still public land. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams said that he and Mr. Ollendofff have been talking to the County about <br />improving some O)unty roads and the have agreed to talk with U. City In Bloom on some <br />projects. This has taken close to two years, however. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe wante(I to find out if a meeting could be arranged with the U. City in Bloom <br />people informing t lem, positively, that a saturation point might be reached soon, so they <br />will not be surpris~d when the City does not allow an increase in the future. Mayor Adams <br />said we have to be careful about the extra projects we ask them to do then. Mr. Sharpe <br />agrees, but he believes a general understanding between the U. City in Bloom people and <br />the City should be made now, so no surprises are forthcoming. <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said <br />that we may have <br />wants it taken bac <br />function. <br /> <br />that he would be happy to pass Mr. Sharpe's message back to them <br />imits to how much we want to spend on this function. Mr. Sharpe <br />< in a very positive manner, because we are very supportive of their <br /> <br />AGENDA #3 - METCALF PARK SOIL BORING & EVALUATION: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff reqLests approval of our emergency contract with Geotechnology, Inc. for soil <br />boring, exploration and testing of the underground soil conditions for the total amount of <br />$11,400. This cor tract was approved on an emergency basis following the settlement of <br />about half of this I:ark by about two feet last month. We need to find out the cause and <br />recommended solutions. This company has been employed by the City Council in the past <br />to do soils study w}rk. Will report back to Council in four to five weeks. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer mo~ed approval. Mr. Sharpe seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman asked if their was any prognosis on the costs to repair the damage. Mr. <br />OIlendorff said that they do not know yet. If only one fill is required, being filled a little over <br />time, it will be rela :ively low cost. It can be costly, if it has to be done right away, all at <br />one time. Not sure what low and high means in dollars yet until the report comes back <br />from the engineers <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe asked i: the engineers will also be able to tell us if there could be any additional <br />settlement. Mr. 01 endorff said that they should be able to. One possibility is that the <br />results of their bori lg are inconclusive and they have to do more borings or wholesale <br />excavation - which is the worst case scenario. The best case is that they are able to locate <br />the problem and define it, and that it can be filled. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
