DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED CITY POLICY ON SANITARY SEWER MAINTENANCE PW Director Chris Petree has been working with representatives from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust to develop a City policy that would regulate how the City of Hugo performs its regular sanitary sewer maintenance activities. As Council is aware, the LMCIT recommends that cities adopt policies under which they perform regular and routine maintenance activities in order to minimize and reduce insurance liability claims. This issue was removed from the Councils September 17, 2007 agenda due to the absence of Council member Mike Granger. PW Director Chris Petree explained the proposed policy to Council, as well as the funding used to purchase the sewer jetter; general fund money will not be used, but will be paid for through sewer funds or user fees. He also explained that the City saved a great deal of money in purchasing the used sewer jetter from the City of Apple Valley. Haas made motion, Petryk seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 2007-53 REGARDING A SANITARY SEWER MAINTENANCE POLICY. VOTING AYE: Granger, Haas, Petryk, Puleo, Miron Motion Carried.
