City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209�' St.North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Designate a City Engineer to replace Paul Hornby.
Deadline/Timeline: N/A
Background: • Bonestroo has been Scandia's engineering firm since 1996. Paul
Hornby has been the designated City Engineer since 2008. Paul
has stepped down from Bonestroo to pursue another opportunity.
• Bonestroo has proposed Ryan Goodman, PE to replace Paul
Hornby as City Engineer. Ryan has been involved in almost all of
Scandia's engineering work since 2005. Lee Mann, PE, would act
as principal-in-charge. Resumes for both Ryan and Lee are
attached. Both Mr. Goodman& Mr. Mann will be present at the
August 16 meeting to answer any questions you may have.
• Staff inet with the Bonestroo staff to discuss items they are
working on for the City of Scandia, and how to ensure that the
change in staff is as smooth as possible. Here is a list of issues
and their status:
✓ 2011 Seal Coating Project: will be substantially complete
within the next 2 weeks; Ryan Goodman was already in charge
of field work on this project.
✓ Tii Gavo: final punch list for public improvements nearing
completion; Ryan has been lead on this work.
✓ Mayberry drainage issue: engineering recommendations
made, staff currently obtaining quotes.
✓ Bone Lake Fish Barrier project: waiting for final plans from
watershed district; final review will be required, but
preliminary review provided most needed information
✓ Subdivision regulations/engineering standards update: Paul
completed his role in review of code; engineering standards
are substantially complete
✓ City/Hilltop water connection: (see separate report for this
agenda.)
Another upcoming issue for which engineering assistance will be

required is development of the comprehensive street maintenance
policy, as recommended by the Capital Improvements Committee.
This has not begun but should wait until a new firm is in place, if the
Council should decide to issue an RFP for engineering services.
Some engineering services will also be necessary for implementation
of the Uptown Wastewater System Master Plan. It would be logical to
continue to use the services of Bolton& Menk for that project.
Recommendation: Staffrecommends that Ryan Goodman, PE be appointed City
Engineer.
The Council should discuss whether or not you wish to issue a request
for proposals for engineering services at some point in the future.

Re: Engineering Services-City Engineer
Dear Ms. Hurlburt:
Bonestroo has served Scandia since 1996 and we have very much appreciated our opportunity to
serve the community. Mr. Paul Hornby of our firm has been Scandia's City Engineer since 2008.
As we discussed last week, Mr. Hornby has decided to pursue an opportunity with another firm
and is therefore stepping down from the position of City Engineer for Scandia.
Going forward, Bonestroo proposes Ryan Goodman, P.E., for consideration as your appointed
City Engineer. Ryan has been with Bonestroo since 2001 and first started working in Scandia in
2003. He has closely supported Mr. Hornby and the previous Township/City Engineer and has
been responsible for delivering the majority of the services provided to Scandia since 2005. In
addition, I would act as principal-in-charge and insure that Ryan has the resources and support
he needs to serve the City. Attached for your further information are resumes for Ryan and
myself.
We appreciate the City's consideration in this matter. Ryan and I can attend the August 16th City
Council meeting in order to be available for further discussion and questions. Please do not
hesitate to let us know if we can provide the City with any further information.
Sincerely,
BON ESTROO
