Other than these remaining few items, the design is satisfactory. So, things are finally progressing in the right direction.
School pump station – The pump at the school had electrical shorts in the system along with damaged floats. These issues have been repaired. A couple of stormwater culverts were plugged resulting in flooding on the east side of town. The water had nowhere to go but into the sewer system, which overwhelmingly backed the system up. We had a significant amount of rain! The school pump station is budgeted to be updated this year. This will be a joint project between the school and the city. The city crew identified a few culverts that they have jetted and cleared as well. The crew is also prepping for snowfall and/or freezing road conditions.
There were a couple of slides blocking roadways at Martin and Light Creeks – our water impoundment areas – that the crew cleaned up this past week due to all of the flooding and heavy rains.
Clerk/Treasurer Roberts presented the council with the fourth quarter 2019 budget report for their review.
