PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
| HELD TO CALL OF THE CHAIR
Minutes note: Ald. Zamarripa said that she sent a list of potholes on National Av on April 10th and that she reached out directly to the DPW Commissioner because she did not see the 3 day turn around and that she did not hear from the Commissioner either. She added that she hopes that everything be addressed today.
Ald. Perez said that they expect a high level of communications among departments and that he wants to know if people doing other DPW operations are reporting potholes as well because they are being bombarded with calls from residents, that the districts are reporting to DPW and that nothing happens.
Mr. Kruschke said that the issue is how long is taking to fill out the pothole and that they have prepared a Power Presentation about Street Maintenance.
Mr. Muhs said that is not only the season for potholes but that it is the year of the potholes.
Mr. Muhs gave the presentation that has been added to the file.
Mr. Muhs also said that their division vacancy rate is 18%; the department vacancy rate is 25% and that the asphalt plants will open in mid-May.
Mr. Muhs apologized to the residents of the 8th and 12th district admitting that they dropped the ball on this request in specific but that with the new system that is ready to be implemented (they just need to migrate the information from the current system) will avoid these mistakes. He also said that National Avenue is a federal/state highway so funds are available to do the work.
Mr. Kruschke said that every pothole will be filled out and that he can send a list (report) of what has been filled out.
Ald. Chambers and Ald. Spiker were present as well.
