City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 28, 2008 Page 3 1 needs to be watered well so the root structure does not dry out. There is a requirement included 2 in the permit for erosion control; sod is a good way to achieve this over the winter months. It is 3 anticipated that all of the sod will be laid by the end of the project. 4 5 Councilmember Stille asked if it is the responsibility of the residents or the City to water the new 6 sod. Mr. Hubmer replied there is a 30 day window where the contractor is required to water the 7 sod, but it is always a good idea for the residents to water the sod as well. 9 Councilmember Stille verified with Mr. Hubmer that the remaining lights will be installed and 10 functional this year. He asked when the retaining walls will be installed and if there will be any 11 tree plantings completed this year. Mr. Hubmer replied the retaining walls are currently on order. 12 There has been discussion about completing some tree plantings this fall. The contractor is 13 hoping to push the plantings out to the spring and complete the whole corridor at one time. 14 15 Mayor Faust requested that residents do not drive in the project area. He pointed out that the 16 asphalt is down, but it is still a construction zone and the road is closed. 17 18 Stormwater Runoff and Filter Backwash Water Reuse Facility Project 19 The tank construction is completed; the tank is currently being backfilled. Restoration of the 20 parking lot will follow the completion of the utility work. The construction site around City Hall 21 is very active; they will try to make things very passable for election night. 22 23 Councilmember Thuesen expressed concern that traffic is driving much to fast in the 24 construction area and it is a dangerous situation with the daycare. He suggested posting a sign 25 informing drivers to slow down due to the construction. Mr. Hubmer indicated staff will look 26 into signage. He noted the situation should improve when the dirt pile is moved out of the way. 27 28 Councilmember Roth asked how long the stormwater runoff tank is anticipated to last. Mr. 29 Hubmer replied it should have a 75 to 100 year life range. There will be some maintenance 30 required at some point, but the first major maintenance is scheduled 50 years out. The drinking 31 water supply ground storage tank is similar, and has not had a lot of maintenance done since it 32 was installed 50 years ago. 33 34 Councilmember Roth questioned if there is a warranty on the tank. Mr. Hubmer replied the 35 contractor warranty is about two years. Major design flaws will usually show up quickly. The 36 tank will be inspected every year for the first five years with maintenance and inspections 37 scheduled off of those inspection results. 38 39 C. Quarterly Goal Update.
