34 Nays:0 35 Abstain: 1 (Plodder) 36 Motion carried. 37 38 5. Communication Items 39 Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Jesse Freihammer provided a brief 40 review and update on projects and maintenance activities listed in the staff report 41 dated October 25, 2022. 42 43 Member Hodder asked about County Road B, one half of the road has the gas line 44 and he wondered what is going to happen to the other half of the road. 45 46 Mr. Freihammer explained as a part of the project the County replaced all of the 47 concrete and put it back as asphalt so it looks different. The original plan was that 48 next summer the County was going to finish the reconstruct and convert all of the 49 asphalt but that project has been delayed one year and will look exactly as it is until 50 2024. hi 2024, the project will get a reconstruct where the concrete will be replaced 51 from Snelling to Lexington where it will match into the asphalt. The asphalt that 52 was put in this year the County will do a mill and overlay to blend into that. The 53 City will be doing a watermain project as a part of that project between Dellwood 54 and Merrill, which will be on the North side of the road. Between Snelling and 55 Hamline the City will also be doing the watermain. 56 57 Member Collins inquired regarding County Road B, at Dale and County Road B 58 the County replaced the intersection in 2021 and put it back at a different pitch 59 change in all the ADA area and he wondered if that will be addressed as well. 60 61 Mr. Freihammer indicated he will have to look at the plans but did not think the 62 County will be going to the intersection. He thought it was planned to go to just 63 short of the intersection. Dale street is up for a mill and overlay in 2024 and that 64 will go from Como to Hwy 36. He noted the City has heard about that issue. 65 66 Chair Ficek indicated he had a question on the Neel project that is finishing up. He 67 asked if this was through the County because it is mostly on County roads. He 68 wondered if Neel had to get permitted by the County. 69 70 Mr. Freihammer indicated that is correct. Both the City and County signed off on 71 the permits. It was mainly working through the County. The original plan was to 72 go down a City road but the City pushed it back on the County and did not want to 73 have that going through a couple of residential neighborhoods that had also been 74 recently redone. 75 76 Chair Ficek thought in feedback to the County, their traffic control left a lot to be 77 desired. Also, the sidewalks at times were blocked on both sides and a lot of kids 78 use those going to and from the high school. 79 Page 2 of 8
