CALL TO ORDER <br />Chairperson Riley called the regular meeting of the Public Works Committee to order at 5:30 p.m. <br />2. CITIZEN INPUT <br />Bill ?? commented that roads need maintenance and the roads in Ramsey have not been <br />maintained. He was glad that sealcoating is no longer being done as that holds moisture in the <br />roads. He recognized that garbage trucks are needed but did not believe multiple trucks need to <br />go through neighborhoods for collection as that puts additional stress on the roads. He stated that <br />there are areas of the curb that were repaired last fall and damaged again by the garbage trucks. <br />He commented that garbage haulers also have to travel at slower speeds in the neighborhoods. He <br />commented that tree trimming was done in his neighborhood which was helpful. He stated that <br />his comments also represent some of his neighbors. <br />Chairperson Riley commented that the City is still attempting to find a better method of <br />maintenance after stopping sealcoating. <br />City Engineer Westby commented that he spoke with the resident about one month ago and mailed <br />him a letter about 1.5 weeks ago. He stated that he intended to bring this issue forward to the <br />Committee at the May meeting for further discussion. <br />Chairperson Riley commented that the City has a dedicated funding source for roads and is <br />attempting to follow a schedule to repair and maintain the roads. <br />City Engineer Westby stated that he can also follow up with the resident in order to inform him of <br />where his road falls on the CIP and whether additional rating is needed. <br />Public Works Committee / April 20, 2021 <br />Page 1 of 8 <br />
