Council reviews maintenance progress, drainage concerns and seeks chip‑seal quotes
Summary
Council received updates on park and equipment repairs, resolved freeze-related service issues, discussed drainage improvements for Elm Street and Leola Avenue, and agreed to seek chip‑seal quotes from local vendors and the county.
City staff reported completion of several maintenance tasks — park benches and tables refurbished, barricades rebuilt, a dock repaired and equipment maintenance completed. Staff said a few frozen water services and furnace repairs caused by extreme cold have been resolved. Council discussed procurement options (bagged asphalt vs. buckets) and Mardian Scrap Recycling was contacted about a metal pile at the Restricted Use Site.
On streets, the Streets, Alleys & Restricted Use Site committee discussed traffic‑slowing signage near school zones and possible flashing sign options, reviewed a snow‑removal priority map for LEPC, and explored drainage improvements including culvert/grading for Elm Street and lower‑cost options to improve drainage on Leola Avenue in front of the school. The council directed staff to obtain chip‑seal quotes from Jensen Rock & Sand and Lein Transportation as well as county options.
