Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 29, 2018 Page 12 Councilmember Willmus asked about the lead time as to when residents will be notified about driveways being impacted. Mr. Grajczyk noted there are a number of events that will happen leading up to the work. For example, there will be neighborhood meetings, and the Met Coun- cil team will also go door-to-door to communicate with residents. The temporary disruptions to driveways will happen on a day-to-day basis, and the contractor is required to be in communication with the residents about the schedule. Councilmember McGehee asked whether specific responsible project contact in- formation will be shared at the neighborhood meetings. Mr. Grajczyk responded affirmatively, noting a website is set up. There will be a 24-hour hotline as well as an email signup location for residents to sign up. Councilmember McGehee asked when the first project will begin. Mr. Grajczyk responded the draft schedule shows the end of February or early March. Councilmember Etten added that he lives in an area impacted by this, though the pipe will not go through his yard. He concurred the brochure arrived in the mail- boxes on the 22nd, the date of the meeting. Thus, the communication timeframe needs to be improved going forward. Etten moved, Willmus seconded, approval of request to extend working hours on the sanitary sewer rehab project (MCES 1-RV-430, 1-RV-433 and 8851 Rehabili- tation, Project Number 808830), as outlined in Request for Council Action (RAC) dated January 29, 2018. Further Council Discussion Councilmember Willmus stated these are necessary improvements, there will be some inconvenience, and good communication will be critical. Councilmember Laliberte concurred that the communication timeline will already be tight, so she asked for improved timelines. If there is a project manager that people can specifically reach out to, that would be advisable. Mayor Roe concurred with the Council sentiment. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, McGehee, Willmus, Etten, and Roe. Nays: None.
