MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 8, 2008 <br />City Administrator indicated that staff is currently discussing a shared <br />sweeper with neighboring cities. The City Administrator indicated that <br />should a sweeper be purchased, the goal would be to hire a retired <br />individual to operate the sweeper on an as-needed basis. With the <br />purchase of a sweeper, the City's streets could be swept more frequently, <br />thus improving water quality, appearance, etc. <br />Task 6 calls for the evaluation ofpre-wetted salt spreading. The City <br />Administrator indicated That this task is still being evaluated. <br />Tom Day, Lakeshore Avenue resident, stated that he appreciates the work <br />that the City is doing with regard to Savage Lake water quality.
