Kandiyohi schedules mower demo, readies lead-and-copper inventory and authorizes emerald ash borer grant application
Summary
City staff said an electric mower will be demoed for Kandiyohi Power Company, Moore Engineering interns will complete a required lead-and-copper inventory for residences, and the council authorized staff to apply for a grant to address emerald ash borer.
City staff reported several operational items at the July 1 Kandiyohi City Council meeting: Public Works will demo an electric lawn mower for the Kandiyohi Power Company for a week in July; interns from Moore Engineering will be in town intermittently over the next two weeks to complete the Lead & Copper inventory required by the Minnesota Department of Health for EPA reporting; and the council authorized the Public Works supervisor to apply for a grant to help address the emerald ash borer threat in area ash trees.
The lead-and-copper inventory is part of state and federal water-quality compliance work; the city said Moore Engineering interns will assist with the on-the-ground surveys and paperwork. The council gave authorization for the emerald ash borer grant application but did not approve any specific expenditures at the meeting.
These items were noted as staffing and operational matters; follow-up tasks include the mower demo scheduling, completing the lead-and-copper inventory, and pursuing grant application steps if staff secure funding.
