Minutes of the Safety and Service Committee <br />February 6, 2006 <br />Page 4 <br />Mr. Metzung reported that there is $500,000 beyond that. A lot of the money had <br />anticipated to go towards some of the sewer work. If that is beyond that money for the work for <br />Highland and MetroPark, we have always been looking to do this. There are roads that need <br />repairs, Eastgate, Meadowood, Thornapple, all are in about the same condition as Seneca and <br />those streets. They are pretty close in any rankings that Mr. Metzung has ever done. Those roads <br />are going to be getting sewers. We have always held off and bandaided them knowing that we <br />are going to tear the road up and will put a new roadway down. These streets don't have that. <br />They have a waterline that needs to be done. <br />Dr. Parker asked what has a greater priority in terms of the need. Mr. Metzung indicated <br />that the need is sewer work. Mr. Marrie said there is a different pot for the sewer work. It does <br />not come out of this. The sewer money is for that project. Mrs. Cinco clarified that what he is <br />saying is that the $500,000.00 in the budget would repair those roads after the work. Mr. <br />Metzung said that he does not know if that is the case anymore. This was discussed at the <br />department head meeting this past Saturday. He suspects Mr. Brett set aside the $500,000 for <br />this purpose, but we need to clarify whether that has been put away every year or if it is being set <br />aside for 10 years. Mrs. Cinco suggested this be discussed in Caucus tonight. Mr. Marrie <br />indicated that we cannot make a decision on this tonight because we do not know if it is in the <br />budget. This will not be ignored, but discussed this evening and then discussed during Finance <br />before Council on the 201h. At that point it may be recommended that we go to bid on this. <br />. Invoice from Greg Miller, Animal Control <br />Mrs. Cinco referred to the invoice from Mr. Metzung for Greg Miller. Mr. Metzung <br />indicated that Greg Miller has been performing animal control services for a number of years. <br />He has not received any complaints. Mrs. Cinco stated that this is needed and it will be passed <br />on to finance. <br />PARKS ?,12ECREATLO1oT.:. <br />Shade Systems, Inc. for player benches. <br />Mr. Thomas passed out the revised sheet on the shade structures at Parkview. There is <br />not much of an adjustment on this. This product is the best that Mr. Thomas has seen around. He <br />has pictures of other ones which are ugly. Mrs. Cinco suggested that this item go to finance. <br />Computer Link between Recreation offices and Parkview Pool. <br />Mr. Thomas reported that this will link both the recreation department with the pool. Mr. <br />Thomas has been working closely with Dave and Tech-on-Call and the integrated precision <br />system put in in 1999. We have been pleased with their service and product. We have to tie all <br />of that together because of our fiber optic situation that we have. We would like to be able to <br />have this communication linkage which we have never had before.
