Also Present: City Engineer Julie Kennedy

Mayor Tendrup called the meeting to order at noon.

Julie Kennedy explained that the bid opening for the 2005 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project was held on Wednesday, August 31, 2005. One bid was received from Casper Construction in the amount of $251,656.00. The engineer’s estimate for the project was $239,396.00. Kennedy attributed the difference between the estimate and the actual bid received to higher fuel costs. She reviewed that the City’s portion of this project will be $78,349.00 and the remainder will be reimbursed to the City by Itasca County for their portion of the project. Kennedy recommended that the City award the contract to Casper Construction. Zimmer moved to award the bid for the 2005 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project to Casper Construction, motion was seconded by Pifher and carried unanimously.

Storlie provided the Council with a list of proposed remodel/construction projects to be completed by the tenants of the municipal liquor store building. Motion by Pifher and seconded by Lexvold to approve the plans contingent upon the lease being signed and a liquor license being granted, motion carried unanimously.

Mayor Tendrup adjourned the meeting at 12:11 p.m.
