<br />I <br />I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br />I' MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: December 30, 1996 <br />I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator <br /> FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent <br />I <br /> SUBJECT: Monthly Update <br />I Public Works/PubIic Safety Committee <br /> The Public Works IPublic Safetv Committee did not meet this month <br /> . . <br />I Public Works Department <br /> The Public Works department has been busy this past month keeping the roads cleared of snow <br />I and applying salt and sand. It is the policy of the superintendent to use salt/sand only where <br /> necessary such as; intersections, curves, hills and extreme slippery conditions. So far this season <br /> the City has used approximately 500 tons of sand and 125 tons of salt. (One (I) large semi-type <br />I dump truck hauls about 25 tons). <br /> The days the Public Works Employees are not plowing, two (2) of the City employees have been <br />Ie busy pushing snow back further onto the boulevards to make room for more, but space is running <br /> out in some areas, especially cul-de-sacs. <br />I A crew from Infratec started cleaning lines designated for televising today. Our intent is to get a <br /> good share of the sewer lines, which lay in easements done this winter while the ground is <br />I frozen, as some of the lines are in swampy areas. <br /> The new Ford Truck (cab & chassis) arrived two weeks ago and was brought to Kimball, MN to <br />I be fitted with the box, sander, plows, etc. This will take six (6) weeks to be completed. <br /> The Public Works Superintendent has recently met with Francis Husnik of Arden Manor, and <br />I Mr. Tolaas from Ramsey County Engineering to discuss possible alternatives to displacing the <br /> 17 mobile homes affected by a possible highway shift to the north. Mr. Husnik indicated he <br /> would be willing to give a 25 foot strip ofland along the roadway, if that would help, and would <br />I work with the County in relocating the existing entrance to line up with the new service road <br /> entrance. A meeting on this matter will be held on January 6th at the Army Reserve Center at <br /> 6:30 p,m. and all affected residents and the Arden Manor o\\mers will be invited to attend. Mr. <br />I Stafford will be there representing Arden Hills. <br />I The maintenance crew will be starting the fourth quarter meter readings today, but will be <br /> delayed in their process, due to the amount of snow. Typically, they walk across yards from <br /> meter to meter, but now that is not feasible. <br />fI <br />I <br />
