Agenda Item: Reports-3a Status : Informational MEMORANDUM DATE: July 6 , 1983 TO: David Childs , City Manager Department Heads FROM: Connie Kroeplin, Administrative Secretary SUBJECT: Staff Meeting Notes - July 6 , 1983 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The meeting began at 9 : 45 A.M. Present were : Don Hickerson, Lee Entner , Connie Kroeplin, Dave Childs , Larry Hamer, Ray Nelson and Carol Johnson. The meeting opened with a discussion concerning Pumper 6982 . During a Fire Department drill the previous evening , the pumper 's engine developed major problems . The cause and exact problem had not yet been discerned, as the pumper was being analyzed by the Public Works mechanic. Chief Entner noted the City is now down .to two pumpers . Through contact with Mutual Aid- communities , the Chief received two offers for use of their pumpers while ours is being repaired. Both Chief Entner and Mr. Hamer agreed the question, now, is whether or not .it would be worthwhile to repair the pumper . Mr. Childs announced a meeting with Jim Schwartz has been scheduled to detail the purchase of a new pumper for an article in the Bulletin. A trade between the Fire Chie-f -of Roseville and Chief Entner was agreed whereupon Roseville will supply air, free of charge , to the St. Anthony Fire Department , who in turn will allow Roseville the use of an equipment van, whenever the need arises . The problems arising from defective material used last fall for filling the cracks on some of the City ' s concrete streets was discussed by Larry Hamer . He stated he has contacted both the supplier and manu- facturer of this material and has yet to receive a successful solution to the problem. The material is presently being tested and the City will continue to apply sand to the affected areas until such time as the problem can be permanently solved. There will be an article in the Newsletter briefly explaining the situation to City residents . The area in front of the high school where a watermain had recently caved in has been repaired and blacktopped. The Public Works Depart- ment will install the concrete and sidewalks this fall . Work on the new watermain along Stinson is progressing well, according to Larry Hamer . Since time is not an important factor with this project, the crew is. taking the time to compact the yards immediately after they dig . Mr. Hamer also told those present- he is pleased to have Herman Weber return to work.
