Goiffon, LaValle, Leroux, Miron City Administrator, Robert Museus City Engineer, Joel Dresel City Attorney. Greg Galler Concerned citizen, Ed Waller The purpose for this special meeting was for the Council to conduct a road tour of the City. Numerous complaints regarding the condition of City road, following Spring thaw, were received by the City and Council members. The Council determined on March 20, 1995 to inspect the roadways in the City. The Council drove the City streets, and determined that many gravel roads had the following problems: 1. Drainage ditches along_ roadsides are nonexistent or where they are present, are often in a state of serious disrepair. 2. Wind rows of gravel created by snowplowing during the winter are impeding drainage from the road surface. 3. Street traffic has in many places mixed the road gravel surface with subbase creating_ stretches of mud which will not carry the weight of traffic. Specifically, Council members had the followinq concerns: 1. Dead End sion should be placed on 142nd Street at Ego Lake Road. �. The bituminous pavement on 129th Street, near Elmcrest Avenue, needs to be repaired. 3. Both 126th Street and 124th Street, west of Falcon Avenue, are suffering from serious pavement deterioration and need patching. 4. The visibility of a Stop Sign on 152nd Street at Irish Avenue is being obscured by tree branches. 5. The elevation of the culvert across Ingersoll Avenue at 165th Street should be reviewed to insure adequate drainage from the east of the road. The engineer's notes are attached and made a part of these minutes. The Council returned to City Hall at approximately 12:.:5 PM, where the meeting was adjourned by consent. Robert A. Museus City Administrator
