<br />MEMO <br /> <br />5 March 2004 <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Kim Moore-Sykes, City Administrator <br />Paul Palzer, Public Works Director/Building Official lI: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Re: Current items <br />: 1/1 J 1/1//1 J 11I1111111111111111111 J II J I J I Jill J J J J 11111111111111 <br /> <br />The following are items that should be brought to the Council for action: <br /> <br />a. Chern Lawn fertilization contract for 2004 <br />b. Valley Creek Lawn Service Contract for 2004 <br />c. Storm Fee increase for 2004 <br />d. Truck purchases for 2004 <br />e. VacuumlHydro excavation unit purchase for 2004 <br />f. Vulnerability Assessment Report <br />g. Demolition Report Form <br /> <br />Please put the Chern Lawn and Valley Creek contracts are on the agenda for the <br />Council's consideration, these are the same prices as last year. The storm water fees <br />charged to developers and on building permits have not been increased in over eight <br />years. It has been brought to my attention the City of Hugo charges an area fee of <br />$3,049.00 per acre, our fee is currently $673.44 per acre. I believe a fee in the area for <br />$2,000 to $2,500 would be justified after the City just spent over $20,000.00 to put <br />together the NPDES report and the scheduling of future pond and ditch maintenance <br />items. <br /> <br />I have received some pricing on the replacement truck and may have the quotes ready for <br />the Council meeting. I also have scheduled a demo of the trailer vacuumlhydro unit for <br />next week. <br /> <br />The vulnerability assessment report is in draft form and should be ready the first council <br />meeting in April. Teresa and I discussed updating the structure demolition form used by <br />the City to include a list of the contractors, affidavit disclosure and ticket receipts of final <br />disposal along with a cash surety. <br /> <br />Other notes of interest, siren #2 by Waterworks is operational again, we had a problem <br />with two charging units and batteries from an apparent lightning strike. Joel is doing well <br />in his new position and enjoys the challenge. Frozen Fete Des Lacs was a big success <br />and enjoyed by everyone, both young and old, especially the airplane rides. I've been in <br />daily contact with the Bonestroo over the many projects for the up coming summer which <br />will hopefully run smooth. <br />
