Administrator/Engineer's Report <br /> entorilllle January 2018 <br /> +:.I�r7.7771 <br /> Administrator Continuing Education Plan <br /> I will be attending the City Engineers Association of Minnesota's (CEAM) annual <br /> conference (Jan 24-26). This conference satisfies the continuing education requirements <br /> for my professional engineering licensure. <br /> Local Water Plan <br /> A draft of the Local Water Plan (previously called the Surface Water Management Plan), <br /> has been reviewed by city staff and amended by our consulting engineer. The draft plan <br /> will be presented to the City Council at the January 24, meeting. We will try to get that <br /> report out ahead of the normal packets, to allow more time for you to review it. After <br /> receiving comments from the City Council, we will revise the plan, prior to submittal to <br /> the Rice Creek Watershed District. The deadline for submittal is June of 2018. <br /> Social Media Presence <br /> We have increased the frequency of our Tweets on the city's Twitter feed and have <br /> simplified message board items in response to comments. <br /> Council Chambers TV System Upgrade <br /> A meeting has been set up with a vendor who gave us pricing info back in April. We will <br /> review that proposal and bring a refined scope and cost recommendation after further <br /> discussion with staff regarding our needs. <br /> City Hall Carpet <br /> At the request of City Council, our finance director was asked to comment on whether the <br /> carpet install would best fit under the 2017 or 2018 budget. Ellie said that either budget <br /> year could easily sustain the expense. City staff would like to complete the work in the <br /> early summer to utilize summer help to offset some of the furniture moving costs. <br /> Additionally, we will be evaluating whether other maintenance items, such as painting <br /> should be done before carpet is installed. <br /> United Properties' 21st Ave. Distribution Center Developer's Agreement Fulfilment <br /> A check for $20,000 was received and deposited to cover the costs of engineering and <br /> legal review of the project. We have again reminded United Properties staff of their <br /> requirement to post a $40,000 security to cover the cost of an overlay on Fairview. <br /> Lift Station 2 Rehabilitation <br /> Contract was awarded at the December 13th CC meeting. <br /> Labor Union Negotiations <br /> A closed session is planned for this meeting to discuss this matter. <br /> 53 <br />
