City staff reports progress on lead service inventory, library finishes and 2026 schedule
Summary
Staff said the lead service-line unknowns on the customer side fell from 31 to six and the inventory is ready to submit; library floor and electrical issues were resolved and finish work is underway; staff presented a draft 2026 meeting schedule and moved a disaster-relief item to November.
A cluster of shorter updates covered water service-line work, library construction and next-year scheduling.
City engineering staff reported the lead service-line inventory has improved: unknown customer-side service connections fell from 31 to six, with one property vacant and others requiring follow-up visits or photo documentation; staff said the inventory is ready for submission. The city also reviewed grant and account setup steps required for MDH funding applications.
On facilities, staff said Polar completed the library entryway and restroom floors and technicians resolved an electrical communication issue that had disabled floor heat thermostats; cabinets and counters are arriving and staff plan to use a Board of Education grant to furnish the library's multi-purpose room.
Staff presented a draft meeting schedule for 2026 (some dates moved to accommodate holidays) and removed a disaster-relief item from the current agenda; that item was rescheduled for Nov. 10 because a presenter could not attend.
The meeting concluded with a brief United Way volunteer-drive note and the council adjourned after a motion and second.
