Summary

Public Works Director Rick Wacker presented bids and the council approved a salt shed project funded from a dedicated fund, authorizing up to $25,000 for construction and associated site grading.

Public Works Director Rick Wacker told the council recent extreme heat caused some electrical issues but that routine maintenance and concrete work at City Hall and the park were complete. Wacker reviewed bid packets for a proposed salt shed, noting a possible small additional cost for final grading materials but advising that money for the project is in the city's dedicated fund. The council approved the request "up to $25,000," with a motion recorded as carried unanimously.

Wacker also updated the council on repairs to the bucket truck (hydraulic cylinders were leaking) and recent electrical work by Minnesota Power, which replaced a transformer and a fuse serving several homes and townhomes on the south end of town. The work on the salt shed will be managed by Public Works with follow-up as needed during the contracting and construction phases.
