Kandiyohi council authorizes engineering agreement, directs ARPA funds to Phase 1 water tower and utility project
Summary
The Kandiyohi City Council voted Oct. 21 to let the mayor sign an engineering services agreement for Project No. 20912 (Phase 1 Water Tower & Street/Utility Improvements) and adopted Resolution 202419 to allocate remaining ARPA funds to that Phase 1 work; a public informational meeting will follow.
The Kandiyohi City Council on Oct. 21 authorized an engineering agreement and committed remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to the first phase of a planned water tower and street/utility improvement project.
Jon Pauna of Moore Engineering attended the meeting to discuss the upcoming Project No. 20912, Phase 1, including the potential need for temporary easements related to construction and utility work. Council Member David Streich moved to allow Mayor Jon Lindstrand to sign the Rural Development Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services for Project No. 20912; Council Member Spencer Hunt seconded and the motion carried.
The council also voted to adopt Resolution 202419 to “allocate and spend remaining ARPA funds,” directing those funds to Phase 1 of the utility project. Council Member Jeff Clark moved to pass the resolution; Council Member David Streich seconded. Mayor Lindstrand called a voice vote: McGillivray—Yes; Clark—Yes; Hunt—Yes; Streich—Yes. The motion passed.
Clerk/Treasurer Julie Woltjer said the council plans to hold a public input/informational meeting to present the proposed Phase 1 improvements to city residents; "this will be an informational meeting only for residents to learn what is planned for Phase 1 of the city improvements project, no actions will be taken at this informal meeting." The meeting will provide residents details about timing, easements and what to expect during construction.
The council’s authorization of the engineering agreement and the ARPA allocation moves the project into the next planning and design phase; the council did not set construction dates at the meeting. Follow-up items identified in the discussion include contacting property owners about potential temporary easements and scheduling the public informational session.
