I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CASE REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer Background: The Public Works Committee met on March 21, 2000, and considered the following six cases: Case #1: Consider the Installation of a Street Light at the Intersection of 166th Avenue and Jaspar Street Mr. Ellis of 7001 166th Avenue was present requesting that the City install a priority street light at the intersection of 166th Avenue and Jaspar Street as a measure to deter vandalism, which has been occurring in the area. The existing policy states that priority street lighting locations shall be limited to intersections at State, County and arterial City streets. City Engineer Jankowski presented a map which indicates the streets that have been identified as being eligible for priority lights. The common characteristic of these roads is that the typical speed traveled is 50 to 55 mph. Jaspar Street is not one of the designated streets eligible for priority lights. The Public Works Committee suggested that some provision be considered for allowing flexibility in the policy in order to address locations that may be problem areas which could be benefited by street lighting. The Committee recommended that a public hearing be held on this issue and that a notice of the heating be sent to residents in the proximity of the requested streetlight. Council Action: Motion to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Case #2: Consider Selection of Engineer to Coordinate Water Utility Projects and Design Well House and Connecting Watermains Requests for proposal were sent to three engineering consultants, and responses were received by all three. Staff recommended a preference for Bolton and Menk, Inc. The Public Works Committee recommended that staff negotiate with Bolton and Menk to establish an acceptable budget for performing the service. Council Action: Motion to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee.
