Dakota City Council discusses tiling and tables ordinance on scooters.

DAKOTA CITY - The Dakota City Council met on Wednesday, Aug. 13 for their regular session.

Dakota City resident Adam Mickelson addressed the council during their regular meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 13.

According to Mickelson who lives on 4th Street North, he had been having trouble with his sewer line, finally excavating the site to find the issue.

Brad Duffy, an employee for the City of Dakota City, explained that the problem Mickelson encountered was caused when the sewer line in that section of town had been sliplined, the area for opening for Mickelson’s tile had not been cut out.

When a tile is sliplined, a sleeve of material is inserted into the tile and UV rays are used to harden it, extending the life of the tile. meaning a hard cured plastic. Before insertion, the areas where there are connecting tile is marked and those areas are cut out following the curing of the slipline.

In Mickelson’s case, this was not done properly when the project was finished.

“I’m asking for $6,800. The total was $8,800 on my part but cut me a check for that amount and I will take care of the rest of it,” Mickelson said.

The Council voted unanimously to cover the portion of the bill Mickelson was requesting.
