Aye.s - 5 - Nays - O. RES. 1989-267 TO 270, ON-SALE LIQUOR & BEER LICENSES Mr. Melena reviewed his memo dated December 4, 1989, concerning a TOWING & IMPOUND contract for vehicle towing and impounding services for 1990-91. He CONTRACT noted that though, the only bid received was from the current contractor, Dick's Valley Service, the prices appear to be reasonable in comparison with the 1988-89 contract and the City of Burnsville's contract. Proposed construction at the Central Maintenance Facility means the fenced impound lot will not be available and the specifications requested the contractor to supply a lot. Mr. Tuthill has expressed an interest in constructing a building in which to store the impounded vehicles; however he would like a commitment to a contract for a longer term before making such an investment. Mr. Melena asked that a five- year contract, with option to renew for another five years, be considered. Mr. Sheldon said, if such a long term contract is desired, it should be re- advertised with a request for indoor storage and extended term. Mr. Tuthill was present and said he does towing in other areas and has not seen a completely enclosed facility so it will be difficult to cost out storage fees. He estimates construction will cost $250,000 and he is considering a site at 146th Street and Galaxie Avenue. He said he would consider it for expansion of his current business in addition to City tows. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Humphrey, adopting Resolution No. 1989-271 awarding the contract for 1990-91 towing and impounding services to Dick's Valley Service, the low bidder, and authorizing the Mayor and Clerk to sign the same. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 0 (Holton Abstained). RES. 1989-271 AWARD 2-YEAR TOWING CONTRACT RES, 1989-272 RFP ENCLOSED IMPOUND FACILITY MOTION: of Humphrey, seconded by Savanick, adopting Resolution No. 1989-272 requesting proposals for an enclosed impound facility, either concurrent with the current towing contract or when the building is completed, for a five-year period with an option to extend for five years. Councilmember Goodwin said he is concerned that storage fees for towing to an indoor facility might be excessive. Councilmember Holton said he would be willing to consider some outdoor storage at the site also if it were properly screened. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota December 7, 1989 Page 5 Mr. Melena reviewed the Liquor Manager's memo dated December 1, 1989, LOTTERY OUTLET concerning the Minnesota Lottery. The purpose is to get direction pARTICIPATION from the Council as to whether to pursue consideration of the liquor stores as retail outlets for ticket sales.

The Council recommended that Mr. Welsch serve as hearing officer for that meeting. Mr. Melena said work is progressing on the downtown ring route and the RING ROUTE southern portion is open to traffic. Plans are being prepared for the SCHEDULE northern portion and will be submitted for approval at the Council's December 28th meeting. The schedule calls for contract award on January 25, 1990.
