Councilmember Riley pointed out there is no way to pay for this reconstruction and if there is no funding, he does not want to get too far ahead of the process. Chairperson Backous stated Garnet and Andrie Streets have to be reconstructed and the City will have to find funding for it. Councilmember Kuzma asked if only one -half of the road would be reconstructed at a time. Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated it would be in full reconstruct mode, under traffic, and access would be maintained. Chairperson Backous asked what is the most cost effective alternative. City Engineer Westby stated it would be Alternative 1, as updating the 2008 feasibility report costs is a minimal task. He noted that addressing financing is a larger task. Motion by Chairperson Backous, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to recommend that the City Council approve Alternative 1, directing staff to update the 2008 Engineer's estimate to reconstruct Andrie Street, to not include updating the sidewalk costs, but instead to determine costs for widening the street to accommodate an on- street bike trail with parking restricted to one side based on MSA standards. Further discussion: Councilmember Kuzma stated he thinks this is a good compromise that may be agreeable to residents. Councilmember Riley stated if the issue is speeding, it involves enforcement and a sidewalk would not solve that issue. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Backous, Councilmembers Riley and Kuzma. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor Strommen. 6.02: Update on Turf Restoration at 7046 166 Avenue (Mack and Shayle Dominguez) Public Works Superintendent Riemer reviewed the staff report and indicated that as directed by the Public Works Committee at its October 15, 2012, meeting, staff has worked with Shayle Dominguez, 7046 166t Avenue, to reach a suitable resolution to the restoration of their yard. He stated by July 1, 2013, this project will be concluded. Councilmember Riley asked who did the original soil remediation. Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated it was done by the original contractor but at that time, the City did not have a soil standard so the quality was lower and contained some rocks. Informational; no action required. Public Works Committee / May 21, 2013 Page 8 of 9
