34 Nays:0 <br />35 Motion carried. <br />36 <br />37 4. Communication Items <br />38 City Engineer Jesse Freihammer provided a brief review and update on projects <br />39 and maintenance activities listed in the staff report dated July 26, 2022. <br />40 <br />41 Chair Ficek asked regarding State Fair parking, last year the City has no parking <br />42 signs posted in areas and he wondered if the same thing will be done this year. <br />43 <br />44 Mr. Culver indicated the intent is to continue that practice for the foreseeable future. <br />45 He noted this was first done a year before COVID and then there was a hiatus so <br />46 there was not much time to learn or apply what was learned from the first year but <br />47 last year turned out pretty well and the City did not get too many questions or <br />48 complaints. <br />49 <br />50 Chair Ficek wondered what the City will get if it wins the sustainability contest. <br />51 He understood the City is in the lead. <br />52 <br />53 Mr. Culver thought it might give the City some momentum when applying for some <br />54 other grants or participation to show that the City has an engaged community and <br />55 have a good number of residents that are taking advantage of the programs that are <br />56 being offered. <br />57 <br />58 Member Hodder asked if rental properties had the opportunity to do similar things <br />59 with energy savings. <br />60 <br />61 Mr. Culver explained not yet but he thought the rental properties are still eligible <br />62 for the same programs. The owner of the property would need to take care of that <br />63 and make the actual improvements. <br />64 <br />65 Mr. Culver reviewed City Council discussion regarding future proposed projects. <br />66 <br />67 Member Hodder asked how the Pavement Management Fund is doing. <br />68 <br />69 Mr. Culver indicated it is doing relatively well and showing a positive balance <br />70 going into the 2030's. There have been more detailed discussions at staff level <br />71 lately. He thought this may be an item for the PWETC workplan for discussion in <br />72 the future. <br />73 <br />74 Member Misra asked regarding the water section of the update if the City did <br />75 sampling of the water supply and if the City had results on that. She wondered if <br />76 this was the City system and City pipes. She also wondered about installing <br />77 irrigation meters and where the meters are installed. <br />78 <br />Page 2 of 8 <br />
