<br />In the coming weeks, we will be asking the council to make a number of policy decisions with <br />relation to rain gardens, water services and other issues pushed to the front by the nature of <br />this project. <br /> <br />8. CSAH 14 Construction Services (000616-07159-0). Road work continues easterly and is <br />entering the downtown area. The downtown water main has been installed and will be tested <br />shortly. <br /> <br />Preparing the colored concrete mock-ups at City Hall proved cost-prohibitive. Therefore, the <br />contractor will be pouring them near the intersection. Once they have been poured, city <br />officials should stop by to make sure everyone is comfortable with the colors. If the colors are <br />acceptable, the intersections will be poured, probably in early August. <br /> <br />9. New Public Works Facility (000616-07160-0). The contractor is completing the exterior site <br />work and will finish soon Bonestroo and City staff met with the contractor, on site, last month <br />to review the remaining work <br /> <br />10. Downtown Redevelopment Comprehensive Infrastructure Plan (000616-07161-0). The <br />Beard Group will be giving regular updates on their land acquisition as they move forward. <br /> <br />11. Creative Kids Day Care Site (000616-07164-0). The Contractor has completed all utility <br />work. Water main has passed all the required field tests and the Contractor is making progress <br />on constructing the building onsite. <br /> <br />12. TE Grant Trail Project (000616-08165-0). Mr. Meyer will be exploring how the funding may <br />be used for the few remaining trails/sidewalks in the 2009 Street Project. We will also need to <br />formulate a separate trails-only project to construct the trail-side park, bridges and other trails <br />as outlined in the grant application. Finally, other grant money will be used for some of the <br />trails in the downtown redevelopment area. <br /> <br />13. 2008 Seal Coat Project (000616-08166-0). Bids were received on June 16th. The contract <br />was awarded to Allied Blacktop on June 25th. A preconstruction conference will be held on <br />Monday, July 1 dh and work will begin shortly thereafter. <br /> <br />14.2008 Downtown Storm Water Improvements (000616-08167-0). We are formulating a <br />project for 2008 to construct some of the main line storm sewer and pond system with the grant <br />funds we have received. City staff met with the Church to review the specifics of our proposal <br />to utilize their pond for irrigation We are responding to some of their questions with some <br />more detailed analysis of how the pond will be expanded, what routes pipes will take and how <br />the system will operate. If things work out, we may be able to eliminate the western storm <br />water pond in the downtown area. <br /> <br />15. Misc. <br />. KLM has given Public Works a quote to perform a hail damage assessment of the water <br />tower. <br /> <br />- End of memo- <br />
