Councilmember Riley stated that he originally voted against the budget that included this <br />position but the residents have been very vocal about street maintenance and the needs, therefore <br />he will support this addition. <br />Mayor LeToumeau stated that the need for this type of worker is not decreasing and is not <br />temporary, but will instead continue to escalate. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer agreed that the need is not going away as the goal of road <br />maintenance includes temporary road maintenance. <br />Councilmember Heinrich asked the length of time that the department has had four street <br />maintenance workers. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer estimated that the department has had four street <br />maintenance workers for about the past four or five years. <br />Councilmember Kuzma asked the miles of roads that have been added in the last four years. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer estimated that ten to 12 miles of roads have been added. <br />He explained that the new roads are not the problem; the problem lies with the existing roads that <br />need maintenance. <br />Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to Adopt <br />Resolution #19-088 to Hire a Public Works Streets Maintenance Worker. <br />Motion carried.
