Councilmember Haas Steffen reiterated that the City should take the fill out of there and <br />put in rock. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works Kapler stated that he agrees with Mr. Jankowski. The hole <br />should not have rock put in it because it is too hard to mow. However, maybe planting <br />would work. He offered to assist in figuring out a way to get it stabilized. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen pointed out that she is not talking about big rocks. She <br />feels it is the City's job to take care of this. There should be a policy regarding this - in <br />writing. She does not want these people to pay money for what she thinks is a <br />misunderstanding. She asked that some of this be resolved by the night of City Council. <br />She asked who would be responsible for mowing the turf and added that on this one, the <br />City should dress up the sides. We will work on a policy but this one has to be fixed <br />now. Take what's in out - put in black dirt and plants, or whatever it needs. Figure out <br />what to do, figure out the costs, talk to the people and try for this to be done in the spring. <br /> <br />Direction of the Road and Bridge Committee was that the cost of this should be placed on <br />the October 8, 1998 City Council meeting. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE INPUT <br /> <br />1) Northern AirGas <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that the City has an agreement to provide a drive along <br />McKinley Street for Northern AirGas. We bid it out at $16,000. It is in the budget. The <br />question is, if McKinley goes through, we would take this 24" strip and would have to <br />modify it. Staff is wondering if we should just build it as a street. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman <br />to recommend Council authorize a Change Order in the amount of $7,000 in order to <br />widen the 24-foot driveway to the full 44-foot width of McKinley Street. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Haas Steffen and Zimmerman. Voting <br />No: None. Absent: None. <br /> <br />2) County Ditches <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that he will go before the Lower Rum River Water <br />Management Organization to discuss the County Ditches this week. <br /> <br />3) CIP Workshop <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman disseminated a handout of what he is planning to present at <br />the CIP work session. He explained the TIF Districts and what the plan is. He noted a <br />few other things that he is hoping to discuss at the work session. <br /> <br />Road and Bridge Committee - September 16, 1998 <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
