MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL Monday, June 23, 2014 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 27 of 30 (PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER’S REPORT, Continued) Martini reported the painting of the water tower has been completed and the interconnect with Long Lake is no longer being used. Martini noted there was a lengthy discussion regarding Baldur Park earlier this evening and that the City has been experiencing some water problems in other areas of the City. Martini indicated he spent some time on Countryside Drive last week speaking with a property owner who has had an ongoing issue with water on his property off of Watertown Road and Old Crystal Bay Road. Martini stated when he was at the site, water was flowing over the road and there could potentially be some capacity issues. Martini stated he will work with the City Administrator on how the situation should be dealt with and that the issue may eventually come back to the City Council. Martini stated on Creekwood Trail there are some issues with the culvert and that the homeowner’s association and the Minnehaha Watershed District will need to look at that more closely. Martini noted the Public Works Department has done some minimal work on the culvert. Martini noted an engineer from his office also visited Baldur Park today and that his office will do whatever they can to help alleviate the situation. McMillan noted north of Dickenson there is a manhole that has caused a really bad bump and that the contractor will need to fix that. McMillan stated there is also a drainage problem in that area that has not been corrected following the project. McMillan recommended Mr. Martini speak with the contractor to see what can be done to correct that. Martini indicated there are some warranty and punch list items still outstanding and that he will speak with the contractor about those two items. *9. 2013 SANITARY SEWER REHABILITATION PROJECT – PAY REQUEST NO. 2 Levang moved, Printup seconded, to approve Pay Request No. 2 for the contractor Visu-Sewer in the amount of $84,003.55 for the 2013 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
