City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby provided an update on current and proposed <br /> City, County, and MnDOT improvement projects, studies and on other items of interest to the <br /> Committee. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that he would like Ramsey identified on the overpass bridges, <br /> noting that he has seen that in many other communities. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove commented that she would also like to see highway signs alerting <br /> drivers that Ramsey is coming up. <br /> Utilities Supervisor Nelson provided information on the City's program that runs the water system, <br /> SCADA, and the backup methods that exist in the case that SCADA goes down. He also provided <br /> explanation on the recent water related issue that occurred in the City of Andover. He provided <br /> additional redundancies that Ramsey has installed in its water system. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked the number of staff people that have authority to turn the system <br /> on and off. <br /> Utilities Supervisor Nelson provided details on the staff members that have access to make changes <br /> to that system and the security that exists. He provided additional information on the lift stations <br /> and challenges they encounter. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that education on the costs to the City and its taxpayers would be <br /> helpful information to share. <br /> 6.02: Review Future Topics Calendar <br /> Chairperson Riley appreciated that dates have been added to the items. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove commented that she is interested to know why the trail connection from <br /> Holiday to Riversbend is not being pursued. She commented that is an important discussion to <br /> continue to bring forward and would be interested in finding out the barriers to completing that as <br /> she believes it to be a safety issue. <br /> Parks Superintendent/Interim Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood replied that is included <br /> in the 2022 CIP and some cost estimates were obtained. He reviewed some of the challenges that <br /> prevented that from moving forward. He commented that there was a party actively pursuing one <br /> of those parcels for development, which would obligate that segment of trail and the City could <br /> move forward with the remainder. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that segment has been discussed on and off for over ten years and <br /> that is the segment that comes up when that topic is mentioned. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that she would also like information on the use of parks <br /> dedication for trails creation when that item comes forward. <br /> Public Works Committee/ October 18, 2022 <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br />
