<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - September 29, 2008 <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if people are going to be knocking on doors the day <br />of the testing in order to let residents know when their area will be tested. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated that the intention of Staff is to knock on doors, <br />and put up door hangers 24-48 hours in advance of the test date in order to alert <br />residents. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the door-to-door service was part of the contract <br />pricing received from Infratech. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated that this would be something that the City is <br />doing for its residents outside of Infratech. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung requested that Public Works Director Hoag also include <br />a notice in the newspapers such as the Pioneer Press, Star Tribune, The Bulletin and <br />The Focus. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated that he would contact the newspapers. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated that the flyer for the residents should provide a <br />better location description or map and to somehow instruct the residents that there is <br />information on both sides of the flyer. He also asked if the smoke testing would be <br />done Monday thru Friday and if this could also be included in the flyer. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated that the residential areas would be done <br />Monday thru Friday but the commercial areas may be completed on the weekends <br />because of the different accesses the City will need to complete the testing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked if residents would be aware if their home had smoke <br />in it and they should consult a licensed plumber. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated that the smoke would be seen exteriorly <br />because it will either rise through the plumbing stacks on the roof or it won't. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead stated that Staff does not expect too much I&I from inside the <br />homes of residents but if they did it would be nice for the resident to know so that <br />they could contact a licensed plumber and get the problem fixed. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated that if Staff does not see smoke rising from <br />the plumbing stacks then it would be safe to assume that there is a problem and <br />Staff would follow up with the resident. <br />
