UTILITY MAPPING IMPROVEMENTS FOR SANITARY SEWER, WATER <br />DISTRIBUTION AND STORM SEWER continued) <br /> <br />Cornick asked if the anticipated completion date is September 1 and whether the weather conditions will <br />impact that. <br /> <br />Martini stated in their view that is a comfortable completion date. Martini noted lack of data on the storm <br />sewer system is the biggest gap in the system at the current time. <br /> <br />Levang moved, Printup seconded, to authorize Bolton & Menk to update the City’s GIS system at a <br />cost no to exceed $29,480. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />*13. PUBLIC WORKS STEEL TOE BOOT REIMBURSEMENT <br /> <br />Levang moved, Cornick seconded, to raise the maximum annual steel boot reimbursement to <br />$175.00 per year. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER’S REPORT <br /> <br />Edwards reported the Public Works Department has continued to clean up the parks and remove dead <br />and/or fallen trees and limbs. <br /> <br />Edwards noted the City is now entering into pothole season and that the Public Works Department has <br />been applying cold patch to some of the streets. Edwards noted cold patch can really only be used in big <br />potholes and not some of the smaller ones. <br /> <br />Edwards stated Staff has also been in the process of tidying up the Public Works facility. <br /> <br />Edwards reported Lift Station No. 6 experienced an electrical failure recently but that the City’s backup <br />generator functioned as it was supposed to and kept the lift station functioning properly until the repairs <br />could be made. <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Levang thanked the Public Works Department for keeping the walking path around the City Hall facilities <br />clear. Levang stated it is nice to have that trail available during the winter since the Dakota Trail is not <br />plowed as well as many of the other trails. <br /> <br />Levang stated she also noticed there were some trees trimmed up by the ball fields and that she <br />appreciates the work being done by the Public Works Department. Levang noted a trail is also available <br />during the winter at French Creek Preserve as well as the Highwood Nature Trail. <br /> <br />Levang reported that Administrator Loftus, Council Members Printup, Cornick and she attended the <br />follow-up session for the demonstration project, which then leads to a second smaller follow-up that was <br />attended by herself and Council Member Cornick. Levang stated the community intends to go forward <br />with the project but not apply for a grant at this time. The group hopes to have at least one demonstration <br />project in September.
