Committee Reports:

 

Matt/City Manager/Liquor Store: 

City Staff are working on the preliminary budget for 2024. Pantzke has a meeting with MNDOT regarding the utilities under HWY 10 at the 14 crossing. MNDOT will be reconstructing that intersection in 2024 which may impact the water, sewer, and gas crossings at that location. MNDOT is also reconstructing HWY 115 in 2024, this will require the city to relocate a small portion of the gas main running east from the TBS. We are in the process of getting bids for that project. Pantzke met with Harry Miller regarding his request for sewer service.

The city can directionally drill under County Road 104 to connect his sewer. Once Harry has the sewer line dug up to the road right of way, we will plan for connecting to the sewer main.
