• I am going to use this opportunity to extend several "Thank you's." First, a sincere"Thank you"to the Council members for showing great confidence in me by appointing me to the position of Interim Finance Coordinator. I enjoyed the challenge of the position and hope I will be able to take what I have learned and contribute more in my duties here with the city. Second,thanks to the Department Heads who worked with me and encouraged me. I have a much better understanding and appreciation of the many facets of their job. Third, sincere thanks to City Staff. Everyone, from every department, was wonderful,patient, and supportive to me. Finally, I am hard pressed to express in mere words my"thank you"to Kitty and Dorothy for their support and strength. They have worked up to 12 hour days and come in some weekends in an attempt to keep up with the work load generated by their additional duties. They have never done.anything but their very best. I was confident that with everyone's help the three of us,together, could handle the job. YOU ALL came together and made the past eight months work. THANK YOU. Mary T. PUBLIC WORKS • The streets dept. has been patching streets in preparation for slurry sealing in the upcoming weeks. Several manufactures have left demonstrator rollers for us to use during the past two weeks. This has provided some very helpful analysis of the different machines, their capabilities and specifications. Staff is proposing to replace the City's current roller in 1997. Cracksealing equipment has also been demonstrated in the previous weeks in preparation of a 1997 purchase. • Final inspections were performed on sanitary sewer main at the Sherwood Estates development this week. • Construction of the public utilities began last week for Larry Beach's twin homes on Silver Lake Road. Some complications developed and as a result, on July 1, 1996 a Stop Work Order was issued. Until several items are corrected or addressed, no further work will be allowed on the project. • Mark has been working on the spray bar assembly for the liquid calcium chloride tank for the past couple of weeks. It is nearing completion, and is very well constructed. - • The second automatic meter reading started this week. After the phone reads are complete, staff will change the SSI (programmer/radio reader)to radio and the radio reads will be performed by staff. It is anticipated that a few of the installations will not call in and we will have to be reinspect them.
