<br /> - <br /> - <br /> - <br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> ~'" MEMORANDUM <br /> - <br /> DATE: September 24, 1997 <br /> I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator VS: <br /> I FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent <br /> - SUBJECT: Monthly Department Head Report <br /> Public Safety Commission . <br /> .4 <br /> . The City of Arden Hills Public Safety Commission met on September 18, 1997. The graffiti and <br /> traffic problems around Mounds View High School were discussed. The Commission asked that <br /> the Public Works Superintendent send a letter to Ramsey County requesting that they clean up <br /> . graffiti on County roads around the school as soon as possible, as this discourages repeat <br /> paintings. This letter has been sent. <br /> I Under new business the 1998 Street Improvements were discussed. It was pointed out by one <br /> Commission member that the City seems to be jumping all over the City, rather than sticking to <br /> I' one (1) area. <br /> Also, discussed was a letter requesting street lights near Dawn Circle. The Commission did not <br /> I recommend the City install lights in this area. Note: request was from a young (10-12) year old. <br /> Public Works <br /> . The City had tried all summer to get a realistic bid to replace four (4) areas of curbing removed <br /> last winter while excavating for water main breaks. The latest bid is for $2700 to replace about <br /> 100 feet of curbing. Public Works elected to rent the forms and do the work in house. This was <br /> I done at a cost of about $1500. It's not perfect, but its good and we are learning. <br /> Graffiti is still a problem around the high school. The Public Works Department tries to get on it <br /> I the next day if possible. <br /> A portable chlorination device has been installed temporarily at the Bethel College lift station. <br /> I Public Works StafIis monitoring it daily and the superintendent has been in close contact with <br /> Mr. and Mrs. Sawtell on Hamline Avenue. So far so good; however, it has only been in <br /> operation for two (2) weeks. <br /> I Mike McKinney the lead person on the CII Water Meter change over has now visited nearly all <br /> I of the cn Water users and assessed what will be needed to make each change. Mr. McKinney <br /> has about 25 new meters in and running now and has really done a good job of scheduling and <br /> I~ ordering materials and keeping track of readings on old meters as new ones are installed. <br /> - ,..."0 '.....,;.,"'-.. ,.- <br /> I <br /> - ~ <br />
