ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - SEPTEMBER 15, 2008 10 Mayor Harpstead suggested the manholes be swapped around the City to reduce this concern. Mayor Harpstead stated he would like a report from all of the testing that staff has completed along with what has been fixed to date. Public Works Director Hoag noted staff would present the Council with an end of the year summary report as things stand. He stated it would be nice to know if there was a reduction in the peak from 2007 to 2008, but that documentation was not available. However, he indicated he would present the flow data, where the meters were, what staff found, etc. Mayor Harpstead asked that this summary include the smoke testing results along with the manhole rehab project information. City Administrator Moorse stated this would be included and that a summary would be available sometime in December. Public Works Director Hoag indicated staffs goal for cleaning and televising in 2008 was 30,000 feet. He stated to date staff has cleaned over 50,000 feet and televised 18,500 feet. Public Works Director Hoag explained he anticipates around three weeks of televising to complete the 30,000 feet. Mayor Harpstead questioned when the televising data would be reviewed with data brought back to the Council. Public Works Director Hoag indicated staff is watching while they are televising and anything suspect is brought to his attention. He stated there was only three or four small line segments that staff feels were concerns. City Administrator Moorse stated sump pump ordinances and inspection ordinances would be coming before the Council in the near future as well to allow the Council to see what options are available. He noted this information can then be forwarded to the residents. Mayor Harpstead questioned when this would be before the Council. City Administrator Moorse indicated he would have Ordinance options brought to an upcoming work session in November.
