Root Control Sewers - Price Quotes - Ralph has been given all the information. Ralph is Going to contact Deuchler and have them look over the information. City will have someone do the application. This will cost about $5200. J.T. feels this amount has been budgeted. 2.) Drug & Alcohol Testing - Any City employee with a CDL license will have to take a drug and alcohol test. This is a State mandated law. J.T. would like to loin Midwest Truckers Association. The cost to join is $1500. They will handle everything. They will come once or twice a year and do the testing. The employees know this is coming and have already been through training. They have also consented Dan needs to look at information. This needs to fit in legally with the current employee handbook. Nanninga will check the budget. 3.) Valve Insertion for Tower Painting - A valve needs to be inserted into the ground ,just outside the water tower. Have to do this under pressure. J.T. is unable to shut this well down without inserting the valve. If he enables this well for painting, the jail will not have water. The cost is $6100. 4.) Leaf Burning - Oswego was very helpful. Oswego will bring over their leaf rake when it is not in use for Public Works to look at while they are building/making a rake for Yorkville. Approximate cost for the rake is $1 0,000. Need to contact TCD on cost of removal. Oswego has a street sweeper, Yorkville_does not, so City will have to do some clean up after leaves are removed. Dan will need to start working on some rough drafts for the ordinance. 5.) Next Meeting Date - Monday, March 25, 1996. 6.) 1996-1997 Budget - Street Department truck was eliminated. This was the one ton dump truck. Truck cost was going to be split with Street,and Parks. Parks cannot come up with the money. This was Kin o be an additional truck. Will keep a watch on the Public Works Development Fund. If there is surplus then Public Works could - Page 2 - purchase truck at a later time. Stafford feels the City should consider looking for a 93-94 used one tone dump truck for $10,000. City has plans on selling to C62 two ton dump truck. 7.) Additional Business - Spang is concerned with the street light in front of Naumanns. The street light is corroding at the bottom. J.T. says he will have this fixed within two weeks. Lynch was wondering when the traffic light at Fox and Rt. 47 was going to be put in. State has said they would be puffing things in underground in the fall but this has not happened yet. The traffic light at Van Emmon and Rt. 47 is going to be revamped. The City will have to pay $4300 of the revamp of this traffic light. Schmanski would like to get the update of the sanitary from Deuchler for the atlas. Needs digital copy/file. Nanninga will check with Deuchler. Orange Street and Circle Center corner - Road needs to be redone there. The buses cut the corner. This is in need of major repair. J.T. is looking to fix it this year. Minutes by: Mollie Anderson
