Mounds View City Council March 11, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 10 will act as the general contractor in ordering material and implementing the landscaping project with Staff. Public Works Director Lee indicated the City had received a draft copy of the Local Water Management Plan from the City engineer and public works will review and provide comments. He also indicated public works had received the EAW for the Greenfield Park ponding project and would be reviewing it and providing comments. Public Works Director Lee pointed out that spring load restrictions are in place until mid to late April. Public Works Director Lee indicated one of the main goals for public works is to review and analyze the operation and structure of the department to see if it can be made more efficient to serve the needs of residents and Council. He also indicated that he would like to review and develop polices and procedures for the department. He further indicated his department is looking into the long term planning goals for the City with regard to capital improvements. He indicated public works was asked to take the lead on the long term planning goals for the City with regard to capital improvements and the deadline for that plan is June 3, 2002. Mr. Lee finished his report and invited any Council Members or residents to contact him with questions. • Council Member Marty said Mr. Lee had provided an excellent report and said the public works team has done a good job. Council Member Marty suggested posting the Apri18, 2002 meeting where Council will approve plans for the H2 reconstruction to allow interested residents to attend. Council Member Marty asked what a partial replacement of the interior wet coating was. Public Works Director Lee indicated that interior wetcoating is the surface coated by water. He explained that some of the areas normally covered by water have rusted and the tank will need to be drawn down so that those areas can be sandblasted and replaced. He then noted that water service would be available during the repairs. Council Member Marty questioned whether holding off on making the water tower repairs until 2003 would end up costing the City more money. Public Works Director Lee indicated he had checked into that and found that the recommendation for repairs stated that the repairs should be done within 24 months so waiting unti12003 should have no major impact on the scope of the project. Council Member Marty thanked Mr. Lee for the update on the Pleasant View traffic signal. •
