3) Update and Status of the Close -Out of Sweetbay Ridge Subdivision <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood stated the purpose of this report is to inform Council on activity <br />relating to the work on Stage 1 improvements for SweetBay Ridge subdivision and to receive <br />concurrence on what staff is planning to do to complete the project. Everything we need will be <br />fully funded. At this time, we feel the trail on the east side of Rhinestone probably was not <br />correctly recorded; however, the residents on that east side said they were told the boardwalk <br />would not be going in. Therefore, staff identified other alternatives. The residents would prefer <br />a bike lane on the east side of Rhinestone. Staff also supports that alternative. Mr. Riverblood <br />stated that if Council were accepting of this alternative, he would place it on the Consent Agenda <br />for formal approval on October 12. <br />Councilmember Dehen asked why we are sticking in a bike lane now if it wasn't in the plan <br />before. <br />Mr. Riverblood responded we had a boardwalk in the plans before. All exhibits showed a <br />boardwalk on the east side, but some or all of the residents in that area have accepted the <br />resolution of the confusion surrounding the boardwalk and agree with elimination of it and <br />striping a bike lane on that section of the street instead. He added that, in reality, the bank is <br />unable to complete these improvements and the City is basically "picking up the mess ". <br />Councilmember McGlone stated there are already sidewalks — why not increase them. <br />City Engineer Himmer gave some reasons why that would not work — including eliminating <br />snow storage and relocating hydrants. <br />Consensus of the Council was to bring back the bike lane concept for approval. <br />4) Discuss City Manager /City Administrator Ballot Question <br />Due to lack of time, this topic report will be on the next Council Work Session for discussion. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Consensus was to adjourn the work session. <br />The City Council Work Session was adjourned at 6:58 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />KLYrtis G.
