WEST WATER TREATMENT PLANT UPDATE. Paul Oehme: It is. 3 Chanhassen City Council May 14, 2018 Mayor Laufenburger: Alright, nice to have you here tonight. Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. Just staff wanted to give a brief update construction project. I think the last update that we, staff gave the council was about 6 months the iron manganese that are naturally occurring in the water in the west water field. The plant is treatmen-treatment for this plant just to make the process a little more efficient. The chemistry on the west side of town, or the water is a little different than the east side so we added that. The plant will pump designed for the full buildout we talked about in the 2040 comp plan. This plant will address the down the road. So again work has steadily progressed. We originally broke ground in January of 2017. Council did approve the initial project in 2016 at the end of the year and we are getting eginning that process right now. Just updates. Security system there on site today. That goes in this putting in windows. A lot of things, little things that are taking place this week and type of things. All staff members have to be trained up on that. People on call that would be monitoring the plant would also be trained up on those type of things. And site work, happy to The water. The raw water that goes to the plant and the clean water, the treated water that comes ins pipe work left on Manchester Park. The cul-de-sac up on top of the site. That still has to be put in. That is anticipated to be put in here in the next week or so. And then staff has been updating of the local residents. Giving them an update on a monthly basis on progress and status of the been engaged on this process here in the last few months. So just a couple photos of, took these last week on the progress. This is the filter cells. Again media that e pumped in finalizing electrical components. The SCADA system IO units still have to be installed here and , should be done in the next week here as the plant 4 Chanhassen City Council May 14, 2018 Ziegler has been out here the last couple weeks getting that, the generator, it operational order. staff has been trained on the operations and maintenance of the generator as well now. here so the pink area, this is encapsulated our detention area. That into the plant. This will be all underground so all the pink area will be underground and area as well so that will back up to the park area. The east elevation area, this is just showing you where the backwash tank is. This is the backwash tank here and the view from basically Galpin Road. The wall here is poured in place and that area will be stained the same color as the cultured stone on the edges of the building so to try to match the colors as best as we can. to try to break up the building a little bit more than is shown here. And then the south area, this is off of Lake Harrison Road. This is where you come into the plant so this is the front entryway. This door really was not going to be used mainly for exiting. Entering and exiting. The office area is on the west side so that door will be used but we wanted to just have a nice entryway to the south here for the plant. Aesthetics exactly. Yep thank you. So and then one other thing too is the windows are going in this week too. I was out there this morning and the window contractor did finally show up there about a week and a half late though but they said in another still has to take place here. This is basically where you see the concrete meets the brick ledge. covered up with material. With soil and landscape as well. And then again after we get the site restored the CIP for this year and Todd Hoffman will take the site and create that park in the future. So with onal per contract in June here. We are looking at getting Manchester cul-de-sac and the restoration up on top, you know up in June as well. So I know the neighbors would be happy to have that road re-opened again little items to be completed in July as well. So with that we are pretty much on schedule. Budget wis pretty good right now. Mayor Laufenburger: Well any comments or questions from council? Anybody? Paul Oehme: One other thing I was going to point out too. If the council wanted to take a tour after we get a parking lot I think, paved that would probably be the opportune time to take a look at the plant and maybe before a work session or during a work session and we were looking at having an open house after the plant take a look at the inside of the plant. 5 Chanhassen City Council May 14, 2018 Paul Oehme: Okay. Todd Gerhardt: End of June. Mayor Laufenburger: End of June, is that right? Okay. I just had a couple questions. Are you going to have to do some road repair on Harrison? to remove a bunch of the sidewalk. I know some of the curb has been chipped out. The contractor like I said curb repair and maybe an overlay of the whole area. Lake Harrison when all the Mayor Laufenburger: But you will do that repair before you reo Paul Oehme: Absolutely, yeah we want to get everything completed before we open the road up again. Paul Oehme: Right. Mayor Laufenburger: Alright. And does your landscaping include sod or seed? Todd Gerhardt: Do you have irrigation? Paul Oehme along Lake Harrison and some of the plant itself on the south side and what we have in the contract is a re-right next to the t going to be using that pond water. The runoff water for irrigation along the boulevard in the plant area. Mayor Laufenburger: Very good. Well in your monthly or your updates with the neighbors are you hearing anything from the neighbors that represents a concern of anything? 6 Chanhassen City Council May 14, 2018 along Lake Harrison that were damaged by the contractor. We know they were damaged -evaluate some of those trees and if they have to Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, alright. Anything you want to add Mr. Gerhardt? Todd Gerhardt: No. I think some of the other questions from the neighborhood was kind of the see today is much more exposure than what they saw in the concepts and I think Paul did a good job of showing you where those lines were going to be. Where the back fill is going to occur yet and so there still needs to be a lot of restoration around the building. Paul Oehme: Yep. n were removed from the project. Mayor Laufenburger: You I think Mr. Gerhardt said end of June for an open house or a tour. Are you going to offer an open house to the neighborhood to see it as well? Paul Oehme: Yep that was part of the plan. It was to have a neighborhood open house and show curiosity will get the better of it. Alright, thank you Mr. Oehme. Paul Oehme: Okay, thank you. COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS. Mayor Laufenburger: That concludes our business portion of our agenda this evening. Next is council presentations. Anybody want to make a council presentation this evening? Councilwoman Ryan: Mr. Mayor. Mayor Laufenburger: Please. Councilwoman Ryan: I just have a question before Mr. Oehme leaves. 7 Chanhassen City Council May 14, 2018 Councilwoman Ryan: Could you just provide an update. I know we approved at the last meeting the Lake Lucy Lane resolution. Wha just keeps rising. a contract with Minger Construction for the improvements. When we went to contract we found looking at construction start the first week in June or so. Councilwoman Ryan: Okay. pipework takes place on the south side of Lake Harrison Road so most of the equipment, equipment and materials will be on the shoulder re going to set the bore pit on the south side and we should, we down there pumping? Paul pump out there again and keep pumping it down to keep the road open. Councilwoman Ryan: Okay, perfect. n June too so. Councilwoman Ryan: Right. graduation for parking as well. Councilwoman Ryan: Oh great. Okay, perfect. Thank you. Paul Oehme: Thank you. 8 Chanhassen City Council May 14, 2018 Councilwoman Ryan: Thank you Mayor. Mayor Laufenburger: Anything else? Councilwoman Ryan: Nope, thank you. Mayor Laufenburger: Okay, anybody else? Well I had two things that I wanted to talk about. First of all just a reminder to the council that I think two meetings ago we passed a resolution in support of local control. This is League of Minnesota Cities advised us that that would be members. He said thanks for your thoughts on local control issues. As you know I sat in a chair plastic bag bill but I do support pre-emption on labor laws because this impacts businesses in cities outside of Minneapolis/St. Paul. He says local control is important to me so we have an advocate in our court relative to local control. Secondly I wanted to point out that 3 weeks ago n town, Celebration 2018 the City of Chanhassen was gifted with a painting. Dan Lacey is known as the Pancake Painter and Dan painted this who has painted sin wants to present it to the City of Chanhassen. He did so on April 22, 2018 and I told him that, and I discussed this with Mr. Gerhardt, that this painting would likely sit in City Hall for a week or two and then I suggested one alternative would be to turn it over to the library and let the library make a decision on how it might be presented. This depicts one of our most famous citizens riding a bike, as he often did through the trails of either Lake Ann or elsewhere in the city of Chanhassen and one of the most recent videos was of Prince riding a bike in the Office Max, Hair District, Caribou Coffee area so Dan has pictured this so on behalf of the City of Chanhassen Mr. Lacey, the Pancake Artist, or the Pancake Painter, we say thank you and we hope that we can present it in such a way that people can enjoy it for time to come. Yep, there Todd Gerhardt: Great, thank you. Todd Gerhardt: Beautiful. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS. Mayor Laufenburger: Mr. Gerhardt, do you have any administrative presentations? Todd Gerhardt: Well other celebrations occurred here the past couple weeks. Chelsea Petersen 9 Chanhassen City Council May 14, 2018 Mayor Laufenburger: Is that Outstanding Assistant in Chanhassen? Todd Gerhardt: Throughout the state of Minnesota. Mayor Laufenburger: No way. very difficult so she thought I was mad at her because I would avoid her and not walk down the secret but I did on this one I think and unfortunately as much as a hard worker Chelsea is, she volunteered to go through the applicants for Assistant of the Year and they had to tell her no you Chelsea Petersen: I think when through reading the applications is when I went wait a minute, that sounds kind of familiar. Chelsea Petersen: Yeah. restaurant and bar so they were well served and had a meal and relaxed before they came up and somebody from the Association of Public Management Professionals telling me that you had won and I have the great technology of forwarding that voicemail to the entire Mayor and council so they knew when I knew so. Chelsea Petersen: It seems like I was the last person to know. Mayor Laufenburger: Well as it should be, right? Chelsea Petersen: Yes. Mayor Laufenburger: Congratulations Chelsea. Well deserved. You represent yourself and the Chelsea Petersen: Thank you very much. 10 Chanhassen City Council May 14, 2018 Chelsea Petersen: You guys are going to build me a case for that right? mother was very proud of her and her husband and so it was a great event. Mayor Laufenburger: Anything else? People are asking me about the Frontier ur. When is the Venue going to start construction? st June 1 is the demolition date for the Frontier Building and looking for completion around August of 2019 so it will be just roughly a little over a year for construction. And Life Time Fitness, their corporate headquarters is here in Chanhassen and their fitness facility is here and that site was always designed for a mirror image of their corporate offices one to the east and they already have the basement put in and they capped that and used that for storage for the past several years and today they made application for a building permit for 100,000 square foot of office space here in Chanhassen. Mayor Laufenburger: Sweet. Todd Gerhardt: And have a market value of around $17 million dollars so a great addition to our expand here and be successful and we wish them great success in their construction and development so excited about that.
