* Ramsey County was out last week and helped us remove the snow from the sidewalks. <br /> (The banks were getting too high and eventually there would be no place to put the snow.) <br /> * Congratulations to Tim Pittman! As of the 1st of the year, he is now FOREMAN. <br /> * Letters are being sent out (1-3-96) regarding the informational meeting for the Bronson <br /> Drive reconstruction project. <br /> * On Friday, Dec. 29, Public Works assisted our Police Department in closing down part of <br /> 35W. Due to the brief period of freezing rain that day, the highways and roads became <br /> very slippery and accidents were occurring. Steve, Wally, Bill Hanggi, Tim Pittman and <br /> Tim Fredberg (who salted the on and off ramps on that portion of 35W)were very quick <br /> to respond to the Police Departments request. Good job guys! <br /> * 8351 Knollwood Drive's installation of the new meter system was not a good one. The <br /> installers thought the water was shut off, it wasn't. The installer shut the valves off, <br /> turned the water on at the laundry tub for confirmation and nothing came out. <br /> Unbeknownst to the installer, the valve on the street side was not holding and therefore <br /> water and pressure still existed. When he started disconnecting the valves at the meter, <br /> water shot out. The Water Department, Paul Thom(WaterPro) and Mike went out <br /> immediately to the scene. Water was shut off at the street and Paul Thom borrowed our <br /> wetvac to clean up the mess. Other than this incident, the installations have been going <br /> pretty smoothly. <br /> Tracy J. <br /> POLICE <br /> * DARE FUND donations: Once again, we received a donation from <br /> the Lion's Club. This year the amount was $3,200. This money will <br /> help fund the various expenses and activities of our DARE Program. <br /> Also, we received a check for$25 from Al&Doris Pederson. <br /> * A couple weeks ago, our reserve squad was involved in an <br /> accident in the City of St. Paul. Our reserve officer was <br /> transporting a prisoner to jail. No one was seriously hurt, the squad <br /> sustained approximately$6000 damage. The other person involved in the <br /> accident, did not have insurance. St. Paul Police cited the person <br />
