Reports
City Engineer's Report
City Engineer Hermann provided bid tabulations on Callender Avenue Phase II and recommending NE Finch as the lowest responsible bidder and noted the item was scheduled for approval of the recommendation at the June 27 City Council meeting. Hermann then outlined options for the Ayres outfall and very rough estimates of costs of a Gabion Basket outfall structure or Energy Dissipater Stilling Basin Structure. Alderperson Reagan arrived at 5:45 p.m.)
Segment 1 of the Callendar/Waverly storm sewer construction has presented some tension cracks on Sterling Avenue approximately 10' from the edge of the trench. Engineering is working with the contractor on a plan of action as this will increase the quantity of patch area. Potential causes of the structure have been and continue to be investigated. Hermann presented three possible repair options with cost estimates. Further identification of the repairs will continue as the construction commences. Street Department Manager Strube had concerns about expansion and contraction of asphalt versus concrete. Strube suggested cutting down the sand base and tightening up with a more suitable base that will allow equipment to adequately operate within the construction field. Another meeting with the contractor is scheduled for the morning of June 22. Clean up of the construction site is a priority to better evaluate the options for repair.

Street Department Manager Strube reported general patching around the city, and cleaning up storm damage. Seal coating and City Hall fascia repair has been delayed until after July 4. Strube also reported a storm sewer disintegration on Ashland causing a sidewalk to settle and a safety issue for pedestrians. The sidewalk was completely removed and will be replaced with new.
