City manager: library open during renovation; cross‑connection inspections to expand to residences; garbage‑can replacements delayed
Summary
City Manager Mr. Monroe updated council on temporary library operations, RoseFest planning, a 10‑year cross‑connection/backflow inspection program with HydroCorp, and resident complaints about delayed garbage‑can replacements.
City Manager Mr. Monroe provided several administrative updates April 8: the library has moved services to Aaron Auditorium during an on‑site renovation; planning is underway for RoseFest on June 14; the city will expand cross‑connection (backflow prevention) inspections to residences through a 10‑year program managed with HydroCorp; and residents have reported delays getting replacement garbage‑can lids under the city’s waste contractor transition.
"Ms. Harvey from the library asked that I remind you and people watching at home that the library is back open. They are working out of Aaron Auditorium. They have begun their renovation project in the library," Monroe said. He also noted RoseFest planning and solicitation of sponsorships. On water system protections, staff described the cross‑connection work: HydroCorp will supply and install threaded anti‑siphon/backflow assemblies for many residential fixtures as part of a long‑term, 10‑year program.
Regarding garbage cans, Monroe said the city's automated carts were delivered in February 2014 and are reaching the end of a typical 5–7 year lifespan. He said Priority (the waste contractor) is changing suppliers and deliveries of replacement cans and lids have been slower than residents expect; the city has scheduled a meeting with Priority to address replacement timelines.
