4.2. <br /> <br />City of <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />r TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Phil Hals, Streets/Parks Superintendent <br /> <br />August 18, 1997 <br /> <br />Summary of Clean Up Project Following <br />the July Ist Storm <br /> <br />The storm clean up took a total of 3 ½ weeks (or 600 labor hours) to complete. <br />In addition to the disposal of 100 truck loads of brush that was dropped off at <br />our site by the public, we collected over 275 truck loads of brush on our clean <br />up rounds. <br /> <br />The estimated costs are: <br /> <br />· Storm evaluation and emergency response $ 800.00 <br />· Street clearing and downed tree removal 3,150.00 <br />· Brush pick up for residents 21,175.00 <br />· Estimated cost to burn brush that we collected 3,780.00 <br /> $28,905.00 <br /> <br />I am encouraging Sherburne County to head up a Co-op purchase of a <br />mammoth size grinder for joint usage by county municipalities. In my <br />opinion, that would be a good use for SCORE funds. <br /> <br />In the future, if we are involved with picking up this volume of brush, I would <br />like to rent or purchase a boom truck with a clam bucket for loading. The <br />greatest burden for this department has been the loss of five crew members <br />for nearly a month in the prime construction time. It is going to be difficult <br />to finish all of our 1997 projects. <br /> <br />s:Xcouncilkupstorm.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
