RESOLUTIONS 95-15, 16 & 17 (Center Pkwy Project) Bill Schmanski addressed the council concerning three resolutions that are needed for completing the repairs on Center Parkway. It was explained that the resolution allows $150,000 of MFT funds to be obligated for the improvements on Center Parkway. The Plans have been approved by IDOT and will go up for bid in July. The second resolution directs the city to borrow the funds from the General Fund and to repay the General Fund with MFT Funds received by the City during 1996. This is required due to the city's and the state's fiscal years not corresponding. All of this will be accomplished by the City's fiscal year end, April 30, 1996. The third resolution is to contract Pavia Marting as the engineering firm to handle the project. A question was raised concerning the timing of this request. This has to the Public Works Committee and is recommended by them. The timing allows the project to go to bid in July and will allow adequate time for the project to be completed prior to the winter. The City Crew has scheduled to do their portion of the work during the month of July. They are completing 50% of the work. Total project will be approximately $150,000. This would be a decrease from around $300,000 if the total project was contracted out. Attorney Kramer indicated that all three resolutions are normal IDOT documents and that there is no problem with the council voting on this issue tonight.
