PUBLIC WORKS <br /> * Thein Well Co. has completed the pulling of wells 2 & 3. The parts were <br /> transported to Spicer, Minnesota, for cleaning and inspection. Bill Hanggi, Bill <br /> Hanson, and Jim Hess traveled there on Thursday to conduct an inspection <br /> of the pumps, line shit and column pipe. A few sections of the pipe were <br /> left on site, as they were easily identified as needing replacement. <br /> * Tracy and Mike's offices are taking shape once again. Staff painted the two <br /> offices and the break room last week. Carpet was laid on Monday, and then <br /> the task of building the offices back up has been going on this week. <br /> Hopefully by next week we will be back to normal. Stop in and see our new <br /> look! <br /> * Tim and Tom Baumgart have been installing lights and radios in one of the <br /> squad cars to update it to the status of the remaining squads. <br /> * The City has now entered the pot hole season. The street division has been <br /> patching pot holes throughout the City. <br /> * The Water division has been pulling a number of random residential water <br /> meters for testing. High flow accuracy has been surprisingly good, although <br /> the accuracy at medium and low flow has yet to be measured. The results of <br /> this testing will be incorporated into the report for a possible water meter <br /> change out. This proposal will be discussed at the special council work <br /> session regarding Public Works Infrastructure on March 8, 1995. <br /> * Last week staff met with representatives from Ramsey County to discuss the <br /> proposal to provide contract snow and ice control, and sweeping services. <br /> Staff will discuss the issues and counter proposal with Council either at the <br /> regular work session, or the special Public Works meeting in March. Staff <br /> also inquired about their Capital Improvement Plan, in regards to Old Hwy 8 <br /> and County Road H reconstruction. I was taken by surprise to be informed <br /> that Old Hwy 8 reconstruction was rescheduled to 1997, and the only <br /> project on Co. H was a cold in-place recycling project from Silver Lake Road <br /> to the West Co. Line. I asked Paul Kirkwald why Old 8 was pushed back, <br /> and he responded with something related to DNR/Rice Creek permitting, and <br /> funding. It was my understanding that when the County was asked if the <br /> intersection could be moved farther west, their comment was that these <br />
