City Engineer began the informational meeting for the citizens abutting the streets that will be under construction by reviewing his letter to them dated March 14. 1988. This letter to the residents affected by the Main Street and Jackson Avenue improvement projects provided telephone numbers and names of contact individuals so that improvement related questions can be addressed in a reasonable period of time and so that complaints/concerns can receive immediate attention. e City Engineer indicated that the construction project would begin on Tuesday. April 5. 1988. The construction project would begin with a "milling off" process for removing the bituminous surface on the roads. The contractor for this project. Progressive Contractor's. Inc. (PCI). will have three construction crews in Elk River to work on the improvement projects. Two of the construction crews will concentrate their efforts in the Central Business District (CBD). After the bituminous surface is removed on Main Street. the next step will be for the work crews to complete lateral and trunk main sewer and water utility work. The third stage for construction will relate to the placement of concrete curb and gutter and sidewalk. The City Engineer indicated that property owners would be most affected when the digging for municipal utilities was taking place in their immediate vacinity. Also. there would be water shut-offs for certain properties depending upon the needs in that location. It was noted that there is a PCI construction trailer located in the fire department parking lot so that if direct contact is desired by citizens they can locate PCI representatives at the trailer. It was also noted that citizens should attempt to refrain from contacting City Hall with concerns about Main Street as City Hall employees have only a limited knowledge of day to day activities and will not be able to respond to the inquiries but only forward those inquiries on to the appropriate individuals. If needed. weekly update meetings can be held between the Engineer. Contractors and citizens. At this time the meeting was opened up for questions from the public. Questions from the public related to: Notice time to property owners prior to water service being interrupted (24 hours advance notice) Parking configuration in the CBD (according to State MSA standards) .
