If it's called complete, Joe Adams and I will look at it and see how bad it is. I need to talk with the Engineer but I will come out tomorrow and look. 11 Joe Adams said this is the first he has heard about the driveway issue. Snow Contracting is out there now putting two inches of dirt on top of the gravel. This was an oversight by the Contractor. 11 Mayor Bradford said we went back and addressed those items on 3rd Street. I will look at the driveway tomorrow, as well as the street. I will talk with the City Engineer on any items we need to address. Councilmember Hoaglund said he would go there tomorrow, also. 11 Mayor Bradford encouraged all Councilmembers to go look, individually. The City Engineer and I will get our findings to the City Clerk for her to email to you. o Mr. Reding said every Councilmember needs to read the Storm Drain Plan from 2008. He asked the City Clerk to have it available for the meeting. 11 Mayor Bradford said he has the printed copy and asked Mr. Reding if he wanted it. Mr. Reding said no, he just wants everyone to read it. 11 City Clerk Buecksler will email it to the full Council tomorrow. 11 Mayor Bradford said we have worked that plan starting at the river but if a section was upgraded to be done first, it made sense to do that first. 7.
