Streets and <br /> 22 sanitary sewer mains have been aging and decaying. The Silver Lake <br /> 23 Woods Fund has been utilized for several years to perform <br /> 24 preventative maintenance of the streets but is quickly being <br /> 25 depleted. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Earlier in the year, wastewater employees Wally Mortenson and Larry <br /> 28 Decheine presented an informational review of the sanitary sewer <br /> 29 system. There are numerous video tapes showing the decay in the <br /> 30 system; many residential services have tree roots protruding into <br /> 31 the mainline. The need for rehabilitation and reconstruction is <br /> 32 imminent in the future. Several assessment policies from <br /> 33 surrounding communities have been reviewed in considering a policy <br /> 34 for Mounds View. The assessment policy has been discussed at <br /> 35 several City Council Work Sessions and has been submitted to the <br /> 36 City Attorney for comments. The document was presented to Council <br /> 37 at the May 1, 1995 Work Session and at that time, staff received <br /> 38 direction to proceed with adoption. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Mayor Linke mentioned that the City's infrastructure will require <br /> 41 improvements and reconstruction in the future.
