Communication Items <br /> At the request of Chair Stenlund, Mr. Schwartz briefly reviewed project updates <br /> and maintenance activities listed in the staff report dated May 27, 2014. <br /> Discussion included clarification of the type of pipe (resin) used for sanitary <br /> sewer lining, with the entire segment of several hundred feet performed at one <br /> time as applicable; progress of the lining project to-date; and need to reconnect <br /> some service connections upon completion of the lining project; with subsequent <br /> asphalt replacement to coordinate utility improvements. <br /> At the request of Councilmember Felice, Mr. Schwartz reported that the curb cuts <br /> near Cub Foods were slated to be completed this summer. <br /> Specific to the requirements of the City's MS4 permit, Chair Stenlund expressed <br /> his continuing frustration with the sloppiness of contractors working in the City in <br /> not sufficiently addressing erosion control efforts, and protecting outfalls.
