He stated an updated article willbe included in an upcoming issue of the Ramsey Resident to inform readers that the plant is working well and is removing iron and manganese to only trace residual amounts. th Assistant City Engineer Feriancek noted the previous reconstruction of Andre Street/164 Avenue in 2016 and stated staff has observed increased pavement cracking this spring, much more than was expected. He noted that the roadway missed the window when a sealcoat would have been done, and staff reviewed a few others that fell within that same window. He stated that staff are proposing to do a further review of Andre Street to determine why it is failing in this way, as the other roads within that window are not in the same condition. He commented that they would do some pavement cores to gain more information. Chairperson Riley commented that he has seen the condition of the roadway and agrees that this makes sense to do further review. He noted anarea of pavement that needs attention, on Sunwood Drive in the turn lane next to Chipotle. City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby commented that he had not noticed that, but staff will review that area. 6.02: Review Future Topics Calendar City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby provided additional details on the asset management item marked for quarter two and the reason it continues to be pushed out. 7.
