The Public Works Committee met at City Hall in the City of Black River Falls on May 21, 2008 at 6:00 P.M. Alderpersons Austin, Johnson, Rahmlow, Olson and J. Eddy were present.
- Street Superintendent Todd Gomer reviewed recent activities of his department including:
- Manholes at South 6th and Fillmore and North 6th and Tyler have partially collapsed. Arrangements have been made to have them repaired.
- Tyler Millis has been hired as a casual summer employee at $7.00/hour.
- Both the Harrison Street and South Third Street pump stations were repaired this spring. These pump stations are tested twice each year. They are needed to pump stormwater over the levee in high water situations. Total cost of the repairs was $2,800.
- The City received a notice of violation from the DNR for a wastewater bypass. The City is working on the situation.
- Funding for the bridge over Town Creek on North Water Street is being discussed with the Department of Transportation in Eau Claire.
- DOT representatives will also observe the condition of Main Street and the Main and Water Street intersection to determine what can be done with the deteriorating joints in the street.
- Mr. Gomer advised the Committee that the main cause of the budget problem was that he budgeted diesel fuel at $3.10 per gallon, which is now well over $4.00 per gallon.
- It was moved by Alderperson Rahmlow, seconded by Alderperson Olson to modify the street paving schedule adopted in April to pave only Skyline Drive and North Ninth Streets. Three other streets will have to be delayed due to budget concerns. Motion carried
- It was moved by Alderperson Olson, seconded by Alderperson J. Eddy to adjourn. Motion carried.
