City reports asbestos removal, building progress and railroad crossing applications
Summary
City staff reported asbestos removal work in Centennial will start, walls are going up at the RO site building, and the city will seek help filing two railroad crossing applications for Fourth Street and First Avenue.
City staff provided brief infrastructure and construction updates.
Asbestos removal: Staff reported asbestos removal work will start this week in the Centennial area; vehicles associated with the work have been observed on site.
RO site building: Walls are beginning to go up at the RO site building, and staff said the project “is starting to take shape.”
Railroad crossings: Staff said they met with Wayne Shlofeldt, who will assist the city with preparing and submitting railroad crossing applications for two crossings — Fourth Street and First Avenue. Staff noted Shlofeldt has prior experience preparing the required plan sheets for such applications and will help with that process.
Why it matters: The updates concern planned public-works and redevelopment activity in Le Mars; staff flagged that the railroad application process requires plan sheets and experience with railroad permitting.
Next steps: Staff said Shlofeldt will help prepare and submit the crossing applications; asbestos removal will proceed as scheduled. No formal council action was recorded on these items during the meeting.
