It was confirmed that Wetland 114P could be removed from <br />the list. <br /> <br />Chairperson Musgrove suggested that the Committee perform an annual review of Capital <br />Improvement Program projects as related to public works items. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby replied that staff was planning to present updated <br />Pavement Management Program projects and cash flows proposed for the 2025 – 2034 CIP to the <br />September meeting. <br /> <br />Chairperson Musgrove asked for an update on the dog park fence in The COR, along with trees. <br /> <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood replied that the proposed off leash area <br />would be along Veterans Drive as an extension of the Residence of the COR dog area. He stated <br />that staff is attempting to coordinate with the Residence of the COR on that element. He stated <br />that he has developed plans but has not yet obtained quotes. He asked for clarification on the trees. <br /> <br />Chairperson Musgrove recalled that staff proposed to obtain quotes for carving two dead trees at <br />Sunfish Lake Park and believed that issue was going to go back before the Council. <br /> <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood stated that came before the Council one or <br />two years ago and the consensus of the Council was that there was no interest in paying for carving <br />the trees, along with safety concerns from dead limbs falling. He stated that the trees have since <br />been removed from the park. <br /> <br />Chairperson Musgrove asked that the dog park be added to the future topics calendar to receive <br />updates. She stated that in the most recent meeting of the Lower Rum River Water Management <br />Organization, there was discussion of projects ongoing in each of the cities, noting that Ramsey <br />continues to be the busiest city in terms of projects. She thanked staff for their continued hard <br />work ensuring that these projects run smoothly, along with all the local road projects. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee / August 20, 2024 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br />
