REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS <br />By: Public Works Staff <br />CASE # 15 <br />Background: <br />The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 and discussed the following five <br />cases: <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br />There was none. <br />APPROVE AGENDA <br />Motion to approve the agenda as submitted. <br />Case #1 Update on Highlands at River Park Pond <br />Background: <br />The Public Works Committee has discussed this issue many times, the last time was in February <br />of 2008. The City recently received a letter from Arcon, stating that they have no funds beyond <br />what the City has retained, to do any improvements to the pond. In their letter, they requested <br />that the City use the $30,000 remaining in escrow to resolve the problems. There have been <br />some discussions about introducing a product called Seepage Control, however the amount of <br />chemical sealer for this size project would be about $30,575. <br />Staff stated that there are a few options to consider. Staff could purchase and introduce this <br />product into the pond and hope it works. Staff could also do some spot repairs to the liner in <br />addition to the chemical introduction. Another option would be to sit back and allow the <br />homeowners to work with the developer to resolve the issue and retain the $30,000. Staff thinks <br />the biggest question would be the potential liability of the City taking over the project or if the <br />cost is above and beyond the $30,000 from the developer. <br />The Public Works Committee requested that the residents try to reach some consensus amongst <br />themselves on an approach to remedy, the problem, and then work with staff and Arcon an the <br />release of funds and implementation. <br />Committee Action: <br />Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. <br />—125— <br />
