Holden public works and parks reports: stormwater bids, hydrant vandalism and 'Eye on Water' outreach
Summary
Street Superintendent Joe Robb reported winter maintenance and 17.5 extra plow hours; Councilman Miller said stormwater Phase One bid packets will be publicized soon; Park Director Tami Mallory reported a cut hydrant lock and camera changes; the Board of Public Works winterized the plant and plans 'Eye on Water' outreach.
Street Superintendent Joe Robb told the council of weekly maintenance, culvert installations and large-equipment upkeep and said crews spent 17.5 hours outside normal hours plowing and salting after the winter storm. Councilman Miller said request-for-bid packets will soon be published for Phase One of the stormwater project at 14th and Clay Street.
Park Director Tami Mallory provided a written report (she was noted as not present) saying someone had cut the lock off a park water hydrant and left the water running; camera review indicated the hydrant may have been left open for days, cameras were re-aimed, and a new monitor was purchased to improve surveillance. The minutes list a "Mallory" among council members present at roll call; the minutes do not clarify whether the council member Mallory and Park Director Tami Mallory are the same person.
The Board of Public Works reported its plant was winterized and shallow meters insulated in advance of cold weather, and the water department is planning outreach about the "Eye on Water" app to help customers monitor indoor water use. No water- or sewer-service issues were reported.
