PUBLIC WORKS
EQUIPMENT:
• The new plow/dump truck has been received by Towmaster and they will be installing the
hardware required for snow plowing. They have been very busy and it is possible that the
delivery date to Scandia may be some time in December.
STREETS:
• The catch basins for the Mayberry Trail drainage issue are on order. We will be ditching Pilar
Road and using the material as fill for the Mayberry project. The intent will be to improve the
drainage of Pilar and utilize the fill on Mayberry. City trucks will be used to transport the fill
to the new location and the contractor has agreed to dig out the ditches.
SAFETY:
• Weekly meetings as well as monthly Safety committee meetings to attain OSHA compliance
are ongoing and we have no accident reports.
• The mock OSHA inspection performed by Safe Assure came back with very minor corrections
that have since been taken care of. We feel pretty confident that we are OSHA compliant for
Public Works. The League of MN Cities, our insurance carrier, will be conducting an
inspection of the Public Works facility this month.
SEWER/WATER:
• Another well will be abandoned at the Bliss 201 system as well as a dry well. This is required
by the MPCA which permits the system and will be carried out by our Contractor for the
system. This is required to be accomplished by the end of October 2011.
BUILDINGS:
• Work has started to improve the ventilation of the Community Center attic.
PARKS/PARK MAINTENANCE:
• Tree trimmings were removed from Lilleskogen park.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
PLANNING/ZONING:
• Tii Gavo is nearing completion. A site visit was conducted and the City Engineer will be
bringing the project in for finalization soon.
ENGINEERING:
• Nothing to report.
DAILY ACTIVITIES
• Building and Zoning inspections;
• Coordinating projects for Public Works and filling in as needed (tree trimming after high

Official, Water Operator, MPCA Septic certification and other licenses that September be
required;
