ODOT will have engineering done by the beginning of August and reconstruction will be underway by the beginning of October. Those walls were constructed of treated wood and put in place in 1983 with an expectation of a twenty-year life. New repairs will give another twenty years out of the structure. Councilman Barker expressed his thanks to the administration and especially Service and Safety for their hard work regarding the Claque Road project. With regard to the chipper and brush pick-up program, he inquired as to the timeframe for requests; he inquired as to the use of the crack sealing machine. Service Director Limpert said that, at this time of year, it generally takes about two weeks to respond to chipper requests. However, residents can put out bundled brush in 3 foot lengths for trash pick-up. The crack sealing machine is out an average of 2/3 days a week. This is a manpower issue as Service is not as large a unit as it was 5-10 years ago. Councilman Ryan inquired about the disposal of latex paint. Service Director Limpert said residents should let the latex paint dry out by removing the lids and then put it in the regular trash pick-up. ~~, Z ~~~~ ,. ~~,. x
