6.01: Staff Updates on Improvement Projects and Items of Interest <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby provided an update on City improvement projects, Anoka County <br />improvement projects, MnDOT improvement projects, and other items of interest. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer provided an update on manganese testing that has recently <br />been completed at 15 different locations, noting that the levels at each location were below the <br />required threshold for bottle feeding infants of 100 ppb. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked if something could be publicized showing the updated testing results. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich confirmed that an update would be provided on the City website and <br />social media sites and noted that a press release could also be developed. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer provided an update on patching, noting that 74 tons have <br />been shoveled off trucks so far this season. <br /> <br />Chairperson Kuzma stated that public works is doing a great job in response to resident concerns <br />that he has received and referred to City staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Heinrich stated that perhaps the process required for staff to fill potholes would <br />be a good public education item, noting that she was unaware of the lengthy process. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that he was contacted by a resident on Waco Street between Sunwood <br />th <br />and 150 about the condition of that roadway. He noted that segment of roadway is very wide and <br />is in very poor shape. He believed the road is on the CIP for 2023. He noted that the resident did <br />ask for a sample petition to ask the City to reconstruct that one block segment. He stated that he <br />is unaware if that will move forward but wanted to advise the Committee about the possibility of <br />a petition coming forward. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley referenced the Armstrong roundabout at Alpine Drive and asked why <br />construction is proposed in three to four years if the County has already received the funds. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that it is due to the type of funds, noting that the funds will not be <br />available until that time. He explained that the County will start designing the project prior to that <br />time and then begin construction when the funds are made available. <br /> <br />6.02: Review Future Topics Calendar <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby reviewed the future topics calendar. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked if updates regarding manganese would come to the Committee or full <br />Council. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee / June 18, 2019 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br /> <br />
