Committee Reports:
Matt: City Manager/Liquor Store
The city will be switching to a mail gas survey rather than a telephone survey. The 300 KVA transformer at Dr. Knight has been repaired and reinstalled, the school’s insurance covered the entire cost. The water plant project is almost completed. The backwash blower is the final repair and will be installed in the coming weeks. Matt and Keith met with Widseth to discuss the water sewer reconstruction project and any changes that should be considered and to discuss property access during construction. The city received an invoice for road salt from Morrison County. Traditionally they had provided a salt sand mix at no cost but have now switched to salt only as it is more effective on the county roads. Pantzke will discuss future salt availability to determine our best path forward. A snowplow truck owned by the City of Roseville is up for sale. It is an International single axle, has 45,000 miles on it equipped with a 12 foot Falls front plow and a 10-foot wing along with a Falls Sander. Chyba is willing to look at it with Pantzke and Kalis. Venske Motioned and Wright seconded to spend up to $46000.00 from the equipment fund on the truck. Motion Carried.
