A resident had called inquiring about vacant lots up in Heritage Heights. Brandt informed him that currently they do not have any utilities ran to them but would look at ideas on how to develop that area. Eric, with AE2S presented a map that he would recommend doing if the city wanted to pursue this project. The project cost would be at least one million dollars and right now there are only ten lots to develop so not cost effective. There could be a possibility of expanding this project so more lots would be available. Thomas will appoint a committee to research this and come up with some ideas.
AE2S Update:
Intake Project-additional funding request is still being reviewed. Need to obtain two permits from the US Corp of Engineer yet.
Service to Blue Flint-prelim design & cost estimates are still being gone through. The Geotech
work should begin this week or next week.
Portfolios:
Syverson – Lining up meeting with McLean Sheridan to discuss water rates.
Dockter – nothing
Herdt – Legion is working on replacing a window and the MH basement kitchen. Brandt asked if there could be communication on the projects being done. The Basement was rented for last weekend and somewhere between checking in on Thursday and Saturday – it was tore apart and left a mess. Brandt showed pictures and asked if the renter could be refunded her fees. Thomas motioned to refund money. Dockter seconded. Upon roll call, all members present voted aye.
Simon – Windmills are being discussed at next county planning & zoning meeting.
Thomas – nothing
Brandt – Will be gone February 14-16. Taste of Washburn is March 26th. The city will do lemonade and coffee again. Will figure out what else.
