<br />parcel, which was apparently contemplated at the time ofthe original subdivision <br />approval. <br /> <br />By including these additional elements with this project we can take advantage of economies of <br />scale and reduce restoration costs associated with installing the watermain alone, as the trail and <br />access road/parking facilities would be within the same alignment as the watermain. It would <br />also eliminate one very long cul-de-sac, and provide a roadway and trail connection for the <br />existing neighborhoods in the area. <br /> <br />Staff will be scheduling a neighborhood meeting soon to outline the project for the residents, and <br />gather information and discuss ideas/concerns that they may have related to the project. We will <br />come back before the Council at a later date for acceptance of plans and specifications, and to <br />request advertisement for bids. <br /> <br />Funding: <br /> <br />The watermain portion ofthis project is to be funded through the Water Utility Fund. The trail <br />construction, if approved, would be funded through the City Trail Fund. The access <br />road/parking facilities, if approved, would be funded through the Lawful Gambling Fund, <br />consistent with the approved CIP. Financing for the road connection between the existing <br />Gamet Street and 14Sth Lane cul-de-sacs, and associated land acquisition, have not been <br />determined at this time. A cost estimate and potential funding mechanisms will be available at <br />the meeting.
