City of Hopkins
July 6, 2010 Council Report 2010-064
APPROVE FIRST AMENDMENT TO COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH
9 MILE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
CITY PROJECT NO. 2006-05
Proposed Action
Staff recommends the following motion: "Move that Council adopt Resolution 2010-034, Resolution Approving
Amendment to Cooperative Agreement with 9 Mile Creek Watershed District."
Overview
At the May 2, 2006, meeting, the Hopkins City Council petitioned the 9 Mile Creek Watershed District to
improve 9 Mile Creek with a bank stabilization project. Since that time, the bridge at 5t' Street South has been
completed. The City is responsible for the maintenance of the crossing and the bridge is a lower maintenance
cost alternative to a metal culvert. This amendment formalizes the inclusion of this work in the petitioned
project. The amendment includes a City contribution of $25,000 for decorative elements of the bridge including
upgraded handrail and textured concrete. The bridge construction included approximately 200 feet of street
reconstruction on 5t' Street South which reduced the cost of that project by $70,000.
