Mounds View City Council <br />Regular Meeting <br />March 11, 2002 <br />Page 12 <br />• Mayor Sonterre indicated Council had given permission for the survey but did not identify a <br />funding source. <br />Council Member Marty commented that Mr. Lee's report had said that filing is a trivial matter <br />and said he does not think it is trivial at all. <br />Council Member Marty indicated he liked the idea of special recognition of employees who go <br />above and beyond. <br />Council Member Marty asked what types of leaks are being referenced in the leak survey. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated the survey looked at two separate things, water main leaks <br />and leaks from the main to residential properties. He then indicated that six leaks were found <br />from the main to residential properties. <br />Council Member Marty asked whether the City is reimbursed for cleaning the storm sewer for <br />Blaine. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that the City is not financially reimbursed but there is a <br />swap of labor and equipment that benefits both cities. <br />Council Member Marty asked Staff to provide an update as to where the City is on budget for <br />snow removal and chemicals. <br />Council Member Stigney said it was a very thorough and informative report and he was happy to <br />review it. <br />Mayor Sonterre asked whether the expansion joints on H2 would reduce the seal-coating <br />schedule. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated the expansion joints would save time and money in terms of <br />not having to send a crew out to router the line and fill it in. He then commented that, since the <br />pavement will crack and need to be filled in anyway doing it at the beginning helps out in terms <br />of expanding the life of the pavement. <br />Mayor Sonterre asked whether Staff had a guarantee that the water tower repair estimate would <br />be the same in 2003. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicted there was no guarantee and noted the cost is an engineer's <br />estimate and may not be exact. He then commented he would like to bid the job in early 2003 <br />and would know the true costs at that time. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated that, at a recent Ramsey County League of Local Governments <br />• meeting he sat down with a representative from Ramsey County and was assured that the County <br />
