Department Head Reports were as follows: 

 

Street Department - Street Superintendent Harold Hovick reported it was harder to clean Main Street after windrowing the snow to the center, but it did allow them to get to the residential streets quicker.  Council member Rasmusson stated he received several phone calls about the snow removal on Britson Circle.  There was discussion on whether to hire extra help when there is a large snowfall.  Consensus of the council was to hire an extra person to help when there is a large snowfall and the help is warranted.

 

Water/Wastewater Department - Water/Wastewater Superintendent Dean Uitermark reported the estimated cost on removing the sludge from the primary cell lagoon and repairing the aerators in both cells will be $132,750.00.  The cost to remove the sludge from both cells and fix the aerators would be $165,650.00.
