August 14, 2007 Engineer's Update <br />Page 2 <br />Hennepin County has begun the process of acquiring easements and right-of-way necessary to <br />facilitate the construction and improvements of Silver Lake Road. <br />We are currently coordinating with the City's Attorney to determine the most effective way to <br />convert existing overhead utility services to underground services along the Silver Lake Road <br />corridor. Notices have gone out to residents along Silver Lake Road indicating the tree removal, as <br />well as the need for additional communication associated with right-of-way acquisition and the <br />conversion of overhead utilities to underground utilities. <br />By completing the utility installation in 2007, Hennepin County is anticipating that construction in <br />2008 can proceed in a timely fashion, with limited delays associated with utility conflicts, and also <br />minimize the risk associated with these conflicts and coordination with utility companies by the <br />Comity's contractor. <br />4. Automated Water Meter and I&I Inspection Program <br />St. Anthony staff continues to work cooperatively with Sensus, Inc. and HD Supply to complete the <br />water meter installation and IM inspection process. To date, there remain less than 50 meters to be <br />installed within the City of St. Anthony Village, and that process is continuing, as these sites are <br />difficult installations or require special plumbing changes to accommodate the new meters. <br />We hope to complete this project within the third quarter of 2007. We will also be preparing a report <br />to Metropolitan Council and to the City Council updating you on the status of the number of passive <br />drain the systems discovered and removed from the sanitary sewer system. <br />5. GIS Demonstration <br />We are nearing completion of the City's infrastructure GIS system. I will provide a brief <br />demonstration of the system at the Council meeting. <br />If you have any questions, I will be available to answer them at the August 14, 2007, Council meeting, or <br />you may call me at 763-287-7182. <br />Sincerely, <br />WSB & Associates, Inc. <br />Todd E.
