8.f) Public Works august staff reportTO: City of Scandia, City Council members August 14, 2015 From: Dave Williams, Director of Public Works Subject: August staff report The majority of our time has been spent on street maintenance. Patching holes and filling cut-outs. We will continue to do so as time permits. Spent some time at lilleskogen park on walk-through with Ryan Goodman and Rob Stangler from T.A. Schifsky setting time line and reviewing project for new parking lot. Met with Jim Shaver of Car Mar Watershed about 1971h Ave. They would like to install a drainage system in the ravine from top of the hill to the bottom to prevent anymore erosion. Working with Automatic Systems to move ahead with the new SCADA system. I feel that having a conference with Automatic Systems was a positive motivator. There should be some productive changes between them and the city. Also met with Eco -Check to give a walk-through of the system before they propose a bid to the city Performing monthly inspections on the septic systems, also on shop equipment and city playground equipment. We are doing sludge tests and the DMR reports. Public works has been spending some time on our unpaved roads grading and grooming to try and meet resident satisfaction. Prepared one of public works trucks for "National night out" in -which, I thought it went well. Christina, our summer help is keeping the city groomed, mowed, weed -whipped and weeding of various woodchip areas. Had 2 septic tanks in July that needed to be pumped and repaired. They went well and had them back in proper service within days. Thankyou Dave Williams
