8.f) Public Works August 2015 activity reportScandia August Activity Report Minnesota Dave Williams, Director of Public Works Met with City Engineer, City Administrator and Roger Rydeen at Paris and Pilar Ave ditching project. Did a walkthrough of the areas that work would be performed. Until work begins, public works crew has been reclaiming gravel that has built up along the ditches and distributes it back onto the road surface. Material was brought from Quinnell to Pilar by dump truck and we graded and packed a good amount of gravel on the east end of Pilar. This month required more monitoring and reporting to be sent to the state and county. As instructed by last council, we have been mowing certain areas such as the Drain field for the bliss up on Manning Ave. We completed the sludge testing and inspection of manholes that need to be raised. We began the same in the Anderson/Erickson system. The addresses and a letter have been sent to the residents informing them of our intentions in late September, early October. The contractors have been notified and material has been ordered to complete the job. Automatic systems have completed getting our phones set up for the SCADA system. We also received the manuals that we have been waiting for. I asked for a period of time to fix or repair any imperfections that the new system may have. We have had a few trees to deal with this month, blocking traffic and such. There were no problems with these situations. Our summer help has been very effective in keeping the city groomed. Thank You Dave Williams
