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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 6.03: Review Future Topics Calendar <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 /> 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 /> 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 />
