Member Lieder was excused due to another meeting at his work place. Also in attenance: Mayor Busse, Public Works Director Fred Batt, City Administrator Jerry Peterson, and Aldermen Serritella, Locke, Adams, and Patterson. A group of people from NIMC were there to discuss maintenance of water and sewer mains servic9ng the hospital and adjacent buildings. The first item discussed was the request by NIMC officials and recommended by the City staff that the City maintain the water and sewer mains on Ring Road. The hospital will provide the easement for these utility lines, but it will continue to be their responsibility for the maintenance of Ring Road. �' ►��,i� ��/�3 This was approved by the Public Works Committee. The second item discussed was a request by Ken Ehredt of 3310 W. Bull Valley Road to hook up to the City sewer line. The Ehredts have two children, a boy and a girl, and are having septic problems. They plan to add a master bedroom and bathroom to their existing structure. If permitted to hook up to the Citys sewer, the Ehredts understand the fees � they must pay, plus the 50% above the quarterly rate usage charge. Ken Ehredt and his parents are seeking annexation of 6 acres of land. About a year and a half ago, they deposited retained personnel fees with the City and agreed to wait for annexation until the Knox farm annexation was completed. ��,;5�^„��.�s�c-��3JCI� The Committee recommended approval of this request. The third item discussed was the street maintenance program for 1993. On the proposal which was handed out some time ago, Beach Drive was taken off the list, because the portion of Beach Drive that was under consideration is not in the City limits. However, Riverside Drive from Elm Street to Broad Street was added to the list. �� ,�� The committee recomme� to put the r�vised list out for bid and if the bids are favorable perhaps h en ire program can be completed this year. �'%`"�." ��" yZC�(,� •��3��.3 d' The fourth item discussed was �roposed sidewalk maintenance program. Again, it is the recommendation of the committee to put the sidewalk program out for bid to see how much of it can be done this year. There is also money in a sidewalk account that has been placed there by developers. A decision must be made by the Council whether or not to use that money for new sidewalks. � � ,� / � G�1�% _" _ � LuY a 3 �3 � `� C �� l� ` / Public Works Committee January 27, 1993 Page 2 � The fifth item discussed was the possible purchase of a used sky3acker. Fred Bart reported that the present sky3acker does not extend high enough to adequately serve the City, and that it is no longer safe to use and will not pass the safety test. Fred feels that if his department is given time and authority to look for a good used sky3acker they can find one that will cost a fraction of what a new one would cost, and that it will serve the Cit 's need for ma y years. � �- �p��- � a. ..��-�-a��, �.��4�� s-�� It is the committee's recommendation to the City Council. that the Public Works Department be give the authority to purchase a good used, safe sky3acker.
