Chairperson Musgrove recommended that some of that information be included in an appendix <br />page. <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby commented that the intent is to have a policy in <br />place, so they can start working from that and include programmed maintenance items in the <br />budgeting process. He commented that they can always add detail to the policy in the future, but <br />he would not want to delay the process. He stated that he will bring back a full draft for the <br />Committee to provide feedback on at the next meeting in order to continue moving forward, noting <br />that it would not include the same level of detail as the previous policy discussed tonight. <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood commented that this policy will be helpful <br />to assist residents in understanding the purpose of a stormwater pond, in that it has a function and <br />is not meant for aesthetic purposes. <br />6. COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT (Continued) <br />6.02: Receive Updates on Improvement Projects, Studies, and Items of Interest <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby provided an update on current and proposed City, <br />County, and MnDOT improvement projects and studies, and on other items of interest to the <br />Committee. <br /> <br />Chairperson Musgrove referenced the potential bridge crossing to Dayton and asked if there had <br />been any progress. It was noted that there has not been any movement since the MnDOT study <br />was completed and that the cities on the other side of the river do not seem to be very interested. <br />She suggested that perhaps City Administrator Hagen could provide the Committee/Council with <br />an update on whether the other cities would be interested in meeting to discuss that item again. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby confirmed that he could add that item to the list <br />again to ensure there is additional follow up. <br /> <br />6.03: Review Future Topics Calendar <br /> <br />Chairperson Musgrove commented that a resident contacted her related to generator pumps. She <br />asked if it would be helpful to have additional information on that topic. She stated that she would <br />not want another set of homes have a similar incident as to what occurred on Rivlyn Avenue. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby commented that lift station #1 is the oldest, and <br />without power that does not have much capacity and fills up quickly. He stated that there is now <br />a permanent generator at lift station #1. He stated that in the event of a loss of power, there is a <br />portable generator that staff would bring from one lift station to another to assist in emptying. He <br />stated that staff does support adding additional permanent generators at the lift stations, noting that <br />they have begun to be included in the budget and will be a part of the continued budget discussions. <br /> <br />Chairperson Musgrove agreed that there should be additional discussion and perhaps it would be <br />helpful to have another portable generator/trailer in the interim while they work to implement <br />Public Works Committee / July 16, 2024 <br />Page 7 of 8 <br /> <br />
