, RE,GULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, JUPiE 15, 1978 Page 55 <br /> Dick Benson, City Administrator, presented the ORONO ORCHARD ROAD <br /> City Council with a memo from John R. Gerhardson, BRIDGE <br /> Public Works Coordinator, concerning the Orono <br /> Orchard bridge dated May 19, 1978 , which states: <br /> Each year the City of Orono receives �rom Hennepin - <br /> County an Inspection Report pertaining to all of <br /> the bridges in Orono. <br /> This is a very thorough inspection and indicates <br /> what we must do to correct the deficiencies. <br /> The bridge over Orono Orchard Road is an all <br /> wood structure and hashad no maintenance for� <br /> several years. This bridge is now owned by the <br /> DNR and recently they have proposed to the City <br /> Council to replace the bridge with a 110 ft. , <br /> clear span bridge. If this is not going to be <br /> done, _ then it should be determined what repairs <br /> the DNR is going to do to the present structure. <br /> The repairs that should be considered are the <br /> rotting of the timbers at ground level, the <br /> cracked or split cross braces , timbe=s and <br /> horizontal bracing. I do understand that the <br /> load on the bridge will be for less now and <br /> in the future than a railroad train, but it <br /> should be pointed out that Hennepin County <br /> engineers have placed a one to five year life <br /> span for the structure if recommended repairs <br /> are not made. <br /> Mayor Van Nest moved, Pesek seconded, to refer <br /> the condition of the Orono Orchard Road bridge <br /> to the DNR. Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0) . <br /> Dick Benson, City Administrator, stated that RESIGPIATION <br /> on Psay 23, 1978, Marlyn Roessel submitted her Marlyn Roessel <br /> resignation to be effective May 31, 1978. <br /> Marlyn has been part-time secretary for the Police <br /> and Public Works Departments and has found full- <br /> time employment with Carlson Industries in Plymouth. <br /> Therefore, it is my recommendation to accept <br /> Marlyn Roessel' s resignation effective P�ay 31, 1978. <br /> Mayor Van Nest moved, Butler seconded, to accept <br /> the resignation of Marly Roessel, part-time <br /> secretary, effective t'Iay 31, 1978.
