City staff update council on Well 4 rehab, ice-rink maintenance, batting-cage grant and LC Stevens bridge timeline
Summary
Public works and parks staff told council that Well 4 rehabilitation is in progress, ice rinks are being maintained, the city secured a $12,400 Hennepin County youth grant for batting cages and the LC Stevens bridge fabrication and installation schedule targets April delivery and a May completion.
Dayton public-works and parks staff updated the council on several operational projects during the Jan. 14 meeting.
Well 4: Staff reported rehabilitation work is under way to remove sand that had been entering the well. Contractors have pressurized and depressurized the well to release sand and will perform test pumping and water sampling before returning the well to service. A separate pump was deployed for test pumping; the repaired production pump is being held in the vendor’s shop until test pumping is complete.
Ice rinks and parks: Crews have smoothed ice surfaces and used a Zamboni to maintain skating conditions; park-field lights are functioning. Staff said conditions are adequate for skating and maintenance will continue.
Batting cages: The city received a Hennepin County youth grant for $12,400 toward batting cages at McNeil Park. Total project cost is $27,000; the remainder will be covered by the CDAA and city construction in-kind labor.
LC Stevens bridge: Design/contract work continues with the bridge fabricator. Staff reported drawings and materials are under review; fabrication is expected to be completed in time for an April on-site delivery and a project completion target in May. RFP responses for installation were due this week; staff will bring a recommendation to the park commission and council in February.
Emergency notification and training: The city has signed a contract with HyperReach to implement an opt-in emergency notification system; staff estimated 60–90 days to go live. Staff also proposed threat-assessment training and encouraged council members to attend IS-700 emergency-management courses being offered to city staff.
