Mounds View City Council December 8, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 8 F. Public Works Quarterly Report Mayor Linke thanked Mr. Lee and indicated the written report was very good. Public works Director Lee presented his report and provided a brief overview. Director Lee indicated that the 2003 street improvement project is moving forward and there was a public information meeting held. He then said that feedback was received back from 18 people and all but two are in favor of the project and all but two are in favor of concrete curb and gutter. Director Lee indicated the next step would be to meet with Rice Creek to get input and get it included into the report to eliminate surprise costs from them. Director Lee indicated that the H2 project has a punch list of items needing to be completed. Director Lee indicated that Council was not in favor of the big picture rehabilitation for City Hall and had asked for the list of deficient items and Staff is working on that and will provide a draft report in early January. Director Lee indicated that the County Road H pathway is being rebid and the City will receive bids January 8th for that project. He then indicated that bids are only being received from Silver Lake Road to the western city limits and Silver Lake Road to Knollwood Drive. He further commented that the information would be placed in the Mounds View Matters to keep residents informed. Director Lee indicated that the trunk highway noise wall and berming would begin in 2004 with the berming and the noise wall portion in 2005 as that is when MNDOT will have the funds available that were pledged to the City. Director Lee indicated that the City would be working with the County Engineer on the emergency vehicle preemption for the lights and Staff will be seeking input from Council as to the priority intersections for the City. Director Lee indicated that Staff looked into a DNR grant for the pathway on County Road 10 and will be submitting an application for a local and federal grant in the spring of the year. Director Lee indicated that the required annual storm water permit review would be held on January 26, 2004 where Staff will present what has been done and what the City anticipates doing. Director Lee indicated that Staff is working on a long range street major maintenance program collecting pavement condition information and Staff would like to survey property owners via the utility bills to determine whether they would be in favor of a street upgrade based on the costs.
