Roads/Salt/Bills & Sticky Pads

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA

Alderman De Jong, Public Works Director Lowman and Mayor Bos recently surveyed all the roads in the city and assigned a subjective score. George mentioned there was a correlation of the conditon of the road and last paving. Based on their evaluations the following streets are being considered for resurfacing in 2009:
  • Pleasant Ford
  • South Venita
  • Wayland Circle
  • 73rd Terr
  • Whipple
  • 74th

Funds for the repaving are coming from the bond issue money for roads. There are additional funds available as part of our share of Platte County Road Tax money and revenue (small, from the three road districts within the City).

WL is now prepared for winter, George has contracted for 300T in addition to the 100T on premises. Public Works is going to obtain a tarp like structure to store and protect salt behind City Hall

Bills for the month totaled $132,832.25. Motion for payment passed, DeJong, Finn, White-Aye, Hoy-Abstain (she had not reviewed the bills)..

Speaking of red flags, newly enacted federal legislation by the Federal Trade Commission, required all municipalities to adopt a "Identity Theft Prevention Program" or so called red flag. Included in the legislation are steps like "Prohibiting Account information to be written on sticky pads or note pads" We can now sleep safely at night. The City Attorney presented the draft legislation which passed unanimously.
