Communication Items <br />45 Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer provided a brief review and update on <br />46 projects and maintenance activities listed in the staff report dated November 22, <br />47 2022. <br />48 <br />49 Mr. Freihammer announced he is now the Public Works Director for the City, and <br />50 the City will start interviewing for his previous position, hopefully before the <br />51 holidays and he anticipated a new staff member for the Assistant Public Works <br />52 Director/City Engineer position to start work in January. <br />53 <br />54 Chair Ficek thought Roseville was still in the lead for the Home Energy Squad. <br />55 <br />56 Mr. Freihammer indicated that was correct. <br />57 <br />58 6. Public Works 2023 Work Plan <br />59 Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer explained that each year Public Works <br />60 staff monitor and evaluate the condition of City infrastructure for development of <br />61 ongoing maintenance and replacement needs plans. He presented the 2023 Work <br />62 Plan to the Commission and asked for comments. <br />63 <br />64 Member Hodder asked how the City's pavement management reserves look like as <br />65 far as the budget over the next few years. <br />66 <br />67 Mr. Freihammer indicated short term it is doing okay. Long term, it will still need <br />68 to be a discussion item, but the City Council does keep putting little chunks of <br />69 money into it and the department has been consistent on what is being spent. He <br />70 noted the City is good for the next ten years, longer term than that, certainly <br />71 depending on which way inflation goes with costs like that the reserves may need <br />72 to be re-evaluated. <br />73 <br />74 Chair Ficek inquired, for the Hamline/36 replacement he assumed this is trying to <br />75 be done before work starts on Fairview so that, if traffic diverts, it can go through <br />76 and he wondered if this will be turned into an all -way stop for the school when lots <br />77 of people are going through there. <br />78 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
