City Engineer Martin Hellmann updated the committee concerning the sidewalk assessment project. A preliminary construction meeting was held with representatives of Precision Concrete Cutting who will be ready to begin its construction upon direction from the city. A preliminary construction meeting will be held with representatives of TMS Construction on Tuesday, April 8. The mayor has a draft letter to residents composed that will be updated with information following the meeting with TMS and will be sent to affected residents with a deadline to determine whether the resident wishes to effect the repairs personally or use the city contractor.
Mr. Greer will contact the certified arborist regarding root grinding and tree removal upon setting construction dates.
Neyra Paving submitted an invoice for $53,800.00 for the 2024 Spot Repair Program that was promptly paid by the City.
Crestview Hills was proceeding with their sidewalk project, and Lakeside Park entered into a memorandum of understanding with Crestview Hills to pay up to $10,000 for the sidewalk to be installed in the city boundaries.
No grant was awarded by the State for use with the proposed Bellemonte resurfacing & curb project. Discussions were held regarding the possibility of beginning part of this project for the 2025-26 budget year as a better price may be obtained as a single project spread over two years.
The Dixie Highway bench project was briefly discussed.
A preliminary construction meeting will be set up with Humphrey Concrete for the 2025-26 Street Program in the near future.
The repair of the Williams Avenue drain trench will be completed as soon as possibly, preferably by a change order with TMS Construction or another contractor.
Mr. Greer updated the committee that Gregory Forrest Lester, Inc. had completed its pruning services last week and that the city planting beds would be cared for and mulched shortly. He has been cleaning the catch basins and drains as needed.
He also advised the committee that our snow removal costs exceeded the budgeted amount by approximately $12,000.00. The dog fountain will be turned on in 2 – 3 weeks.
Mr. Bernheimer brought up the question of acquiring additional radar speed signs, but, after discussion, it was recommended that no additional signs be acquired at this time.
