March 27, 1985 TO: City Council -P�K FR: Patrick D. Klaers, City Adminsitrator � RE: Informational Memo for April 2, 1985 Meeting 1. Attached for your information is the most recent City Newsletter dated 3-26-85. This newsletter edition highlights the article on the Springborn CUP application. 2. The City hired Dan Olinger for approximately a 6-8 week period of time at $10/hr. We hired Dan on approximately February 9 and he has, therefore, been employed by the City for approximately seven weeks. Unless I hear otherwise at the City Council table on April 2, 1985, we will continue to use Dan at $10/hr until a maintenance foreman has been hired. 3. Attached for your information is a one sentence letter from Paul Magnuson asking the City to do something about the water level on Lake Elmo. Additionally, Larry Bohrer and myself have talked to Paul about the high water situation on Lake Elmo and we are doing everything in our power to keep the culvert under Lake Elmo Avenue open and to control the Eagle Point dike structure. In my telephone call with Paul, he also thanked the City for its effort and work on Klondike Avenue earlier this week. 4. The City has been doing some work on Klondike Avenue down towards the west side of Lake Elmo. The high water is causing soggy road conditions and the crew has been hauling in some very cheap fill that we located from Shafer Contracting. Hopefully, this will secure the road until the high water recedes. 5. Attached for your information is an article from the St. Croix Valley Press relating to the public water supply system as proposed around the landfill site. You should note that this item is on the 4-2-85 agenda. 6. The City office is doing much of the maintenance forman work at this time of the year as Dave Wisdorf is no longer with us. We are making arrangements for hiring CETA workers and are currently going out for bids on our street sweeping program. Additionally, we have done work on Clean-up Days and the load limits for the city streets, both of which will be on the 4-2-85 agenda for brief up -dates. Also, we have checked with the County to try and obtain another MEED temporary six-month employee (similar to last year), but no funds for this program are currently available. 7. It is anticipated that the maintenance forman applications will be reviewed later this week and the best applications will be distributed to the Council members at the 4-2-85 meeting.
