6. 2009 Public Works Work Plan Review <br />Mr. Schwartz presented the 2009 work plan for Public Works. <br />7. Additional Discussion on Public Works Strategic Plan <br />This item was brought back again from the May meeting. Chair <br />DeBenedet said he wanted further discussion on this because he sees more <br />distress in the infrastructure and it is concerning. He wonders if the Public <br />Works Department should have an inspector on staff that tours the city <br />looking for problems and possible problems and catching things before <br />they become major situations. <br />Member Willenbring asked if there was currently an inspector monitoring <br />construction or maintenance projects. Mr. Schwartz said there are <br />currently two project coordinators on staff that do field inspections and <br />quality control on city projects such as street reconstructions and mill and <br />overlay projects. Other than that, any inspections of infrastructure are <br />under the jurisdiction of the street and utility supervisors; but staffing isn't <br />at a level to do major amounts of preventative inspections. Member Felice <br />said there does seem to be accountability here and thinks it is a good idea <br />to be proactive and catch things before they become problems. <br />Chair DeBenedet requested something be added to the vision statement <br />addressing quality when constructing projects. <br />8. Discussion of Additional Cleanup Days <br />Mr. Schwartz said he asked the city recycling coordinator about additional <br />days, and the current contract with the waste hauler does allow for one <br />additional day; but it's too late to schedule one for this year. Other cities <br />were contacted that have a fall cleanup day and it seems the number of <br />participants drops off in the fall. <br />Member Willenbring moved to recommend to City Council that there be <br />two cleanup days in 2009, one in the spring and one in the fall, with a <br />report back to the PWETC on how the fall event goes. Member Felice <br />seconded. <br />Ayes: 3 <br />Nays: 0 <br />Motion carried <br />9.
