CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION April 1, 2019 <br />APPROVED <br />133 - In the cottage homes, Lot 49 shifted, still within requirements; <br />134 - Additional landscaping/screening; <br />135 - Path/trail development improvements, setback changed a bit. <br />136 <br />137 The council will consider Item 6A at the regular council meeting on April 8' <br />138 4. Well No. 7 Test Well revisions, Greg Johnson (WSB) —Greg Johnson of WSB <br />139 and Associates presented information on testing that the City ordered for proposed Well <br />140 No. 7. Mr. Johnson reported on: <br />141 - project history (site at 509 Birch Street, an existing brick farmhouse that would be <br />142 converted to well house); <br />143 - what is included in a test project and the purpose (important information before <br />144 you invest in project); <br />145 - Types of test wells (bedrock and screened wells); <br />146 - Complication found in testing this well (bedrock test ended with a sand problem); <br />147 - Constructed a new test well with a screen; <br />148 - Estimated cost summary (extra cost for screened test); <br />149 - Options:. abandon site; construct screened test well at additional cost; do not <br />150 construct test well but proceed with construction of a municipal well to be dual <br />151 purposed as test and final well (comes with risk of not testing ahead of <br />152 commitment to project). <br />153 <br />154 Community Development Director Grochala reviewed the options. He suggested that it <br />155 may be wise to invest the test money ahead to have more certainty moving ahead to the <br />156 full well. From his understanding, the screened well will work. <br />157 <br />158 Mayor Reinert asked "if not at this site, where?" Ms. Hankee said the other area <br />159 discussed was Country Lakes Park which isn't far away and could have the same <br />160 problem. Mr. Grochala remarked that moving from the site would probably end the <br />161 possibility of saving the farmhouse. <br />162 <br />163 Mayor Reinert suggested that the project is moving and his opinion is to finish the job <br />164 there. Council Member Manthey said he'd support moving on the screened test well. <br />165 5. Garbage Haulers -Mayor Reinert noted that the City currently allows four <br />166 haulers in the city. He understands that choice to residents is important but does result in <br />167 a lot of trucks on City streets each week (the number of trucks has gone up over the <br />168 years). He's suggesting, for discussion, maybe it's time to go to three haulers, through a <br />169 licensing attrition process. <br />170 <br />171 Council Member Stoesz suggested looking at what other cities have in their code in this <br />172 area. The mayor concurred. <br />173 <br />174 Environmental Coordinator Asleson remarked that using attrition could prove to take a <br />175 long time. There isn't a lot turn over. <br />0 <br />
