<br />6. COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />6.01: Staff Updates on Improvement Projects and Items of Interest <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby provided an update on road construction projects within Ramsey. He <br />reviewed the proposed schedule for crackseal and sealcoating work and noted that there will be a <br />change order coming forward. He stated that staff is going to attempt to pursue warranty work <br />on the sealcoating that was completed the previous year. He provided an update on The COR <br />Infiltration Basin project, noting that staff is attempting to ensure the sizing is correct. He noted <br />that the rail grade separation plans for Ferry Street in Anoka is still on hold and provided an <br />update. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kuzma asked about painting of curbs when sections are repaired or replaced. It <br />was confirmed that the policy has changed to now repaint the entire curb area. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley asked for input on the status within the five-year plan and when the next five- <br />year plan would be developed. He stated that he was not fully informed when the process <br />occurred as to the inflexibility of the five-year plan. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby provided details. He noted that if an unexpected repair arises, that work <br />could still be completed without assessment. He acknowledged that road conditions can <br />deteriorate significantly during the five-year period, explaining that perhaps a road did not seem <br />bad and was not included in the plan but then deteriorates significantly during that period. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley asked if there is a point where the City would get ahead of the road repairs, <br />acknowledging that the City began behind. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that it would be difficult to determine. He noted that there are so <br />many challenges with the unknown road conditions and therefore it is still a process to get <br />through those unknown road conditions. He stated that once the City has roads that were all <br />constructed to standards and on a maintenance schedule, it will be easier to follow. He noted <br />that the City is reactive and will at some point get to the point of being proactive. <br /> <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood provided an update on the Sweet <br />Bay median and provided a photograph of the current conditions. <br /> <br />6.02: Review Future Topics Calendar <br /> <br />No comments. <br /> <br />7.
