The City Council of Green Isle handled a mix of routine approvals and project actions at its Oct. 8 meeting.
Contracts and procurement - Exterior hail-damage repairs: Staff and Stantec recommended Exteriors by High Mark as the low bidder for exterior repairs to multiple city facilities. The low bid was reported in the meeting as roughly $167,766 and the League of Minnesota Cities indicated it would cover the low bid; council approved moving forward with the low bid award. - Baseball field lights: The council directed staff to re-issue bids for LED baseball field lights after the first round produced a single non-qualified bid; bids are due Oct. 23 and will be reviewed by the League of Minnesota Cities for qualification and funding support. - Camera for Lions Park: Council approved a $1,300 installation proposal by Tyler Igin Landscaping & Services to add a camera covering Lions Park to help deter vandalism.
Permits and technical approvals - Verizon antenna replacement: The council approved an $8,200 estimate from ISG Engineers for pre-construction meetings and inspections as part of the permit process for a Verizon antenna replacement at the water tower. Staff said the cost is a pass-through to the permit and not paid from city funds.
Resolutions and donations - Waste Management donation: Council adopted a resolution accepting a donated dumpster to support a city yard cleanup during the 2024 state amateur baseball tournament.
Administrative items - Claims: Council approved claims for Oct. 8 by voice vote; the precise total reported in the transcript was unclear and is recorded as not specified here. - Minutes: The minutes from the Sept. 24 meeting were tabled due to insufficient members present for approval.
Also at the meeting the council adopted Ordinance 2024-02 (tree preservation) and adopted Resolution 2024 D26 to call a Nov. 26 public hearing on a proposed TIF district for the Lake Aaron / Sharda Enclave project.
Most motions were approved by voice vote; some items (tree ordinance and certain resolutions) were completed on roll call as noted in meeting minutes.
