* Maintenance reported little trouble in plowing the streets (very few snowbirds). The parking ban really helps. * The Chief planned on winning the Lotto and not having to write (this is it) ever again. But he was only five numbers off. Tim R. PUBLIC WORKS * The City of New Brighton assisted our crew last week on the water main break with the use of their operator and backhoe. We appreciate their promptness and hope to continue the great working relationship we have with them. * Well we survived the first major storm of the season! Our crew started plowing at 12:00pm Sunday and finished around 7:30 p.m. We returned on Monday at 4:00 a.m. and continued with the amount that fell that night. As weather permits, we will clean up the compaction on roads, to prevent rutting and ice build-ups at the curbline. We have had many residents come in to pickup the marking stakes; this will only HELP US MORE in our snow removal efforts. * Staff will be meeting with a representative from Honeywell, December 5, for the facility audits and discussions thereof. * Tuckpointing of the Well Houses are complete! The remainder of the contract, ie. clean-up, acid washing and water proofing, hasn't been done due to the existing weather conditions. * Staff is finalizing the RFP on the Water Meter changeout and automatic meter reading system. We expect to advertise next week. This proposal will require some random testing of residential and commercial meters to determine their accuracy and forecasting potential benefits and increased income. * School speed zone signs were installed on Quincy November 29. * The City passed its annual Department of Health inspection. The City's record keeping and water quality is excellent. No violations were found in the system. The only recommendation made was to continue educating and sending people to training. Mike
