Round Lake Road <br />The contractor has milled out and overlayed three areas of the project that the City <br />would not accept. The dip where the permanent roadway meets the temporary <br />transition to the old roadway still exists to some degree, With the dip being in the <br />temporary roadway the City Engineer and the Public Works Director decided to leave <br />well enough alone and evaluate the area again before a final payment is made. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Countv Road E Streetlil!hts <br />One of the City owned streetlights on County Road E near Twin City Federal was <br />struck by a vehicle on November 2,2000, and will need replacing, A new base, pole <br />and fixture have been ordered, The good news is the reinforcing Council approved <br />last summer held, This reinforces the Public Works Directors opinion that the <br />urgency for replacement of these lightpoles may not be as originally thought. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Clcvcland Avenue Railroad Bridl!c <br />The new bridge is now open with increased safety sight lines and a sidewalk. The <br />City's fire hydrant was moved to a more accessible location just behind the sidewalk, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Snowplowinl!:/Sandinl!: Operations <br />The City Administrator and Public Works Director will be exploring the <br />Possibility of one or two Public Works employees starting at 4:00 a.m, during the <br />snow season. This would provide a headstart for any plowing or sanding <br />operations that develop over night. A reduction in trips to the City by the Public <br />Works Director to check street conditions would also occur. <br /> <br />. Scwer Svstcm Backups <br />The City has experienced about a half dozen sewer plugs this past month, Several <br />have been in the City's main lines and several have been in the resident's service <br />lines to the main. Fortunately, damages have been minimal and major claims have <br />been denied due to the City's maintenance records. Two claims of about $135 each <br />on Lake Johanna Boulevard are still outstanding, <br />
