RES17-2260 A Resolution to Waive the Bid Process and Accept the Price Quote for De-Icing Equipment for the Snow Removal Program Mr Bjork reported that Public Works has funds allocated for the purchase of de-icing equipment for the snow removal program. Monroe Truck Equipment has provided a price quote for a brine storage tank and pump plus an additional storage tank. The pumping system and tank will be placed at the satellite Budler Road facility and the other tank will be placed next to the existing tank an the main facility. The additional tank will provide additional storage that may be necessary for occurrences of consecutive snow events, and also enables one tank to be emptied at a time so that a full semi-tanker refill can be received and cost savings be realized. Monroe Truck has outfitted us with all of our de-icing equipment in the past, and this equipment will be compatible with the existing equipment.

Recent investigation by the Corps indicates that stray current from the fish barrier continues to migrate from the barrier, through the ground and that it has reached a number of metal structures in the vicinity, including poles and rails on the bridge. The Corps has requested the license agreement to be amended to allow it to install mitigation measures on the bridge in response to the current, including the placement of warning signs, covering poles and/or rails and installing grounding for light poles along the bridge structure. Mayor Noak stated that unfortunately we need to do this. The agreement is very clear that this is their issue. ORD17-1351 An Ordinance Amending Chapter 80-Schedule I-Parking Prohibited at all times Chief Turvey reported that this will prohibit parking in six locations within the Honeytree subdivision, all of which consist of streets connecting one court to another court. These connecting streets are very narrow and cars parking on both sides of the street in the same location will completely block these streets. Mayor Noak stated that the goal of this is to get emergency vehicles through here when needed. 4.
