Fire Chief Kapler displayed a photograph taken from a bucket truck showing the progress on Fire Station No. 2 and provided a brief update on the progress of the construction. He commented that the construction continues to progress well and he has not heard any issues or complaints and commended the onsite management thus far. City Engineer Westby referenced the Armstrong Interchange project, noting that there is a video available on YouTube as the County has been flying some drones over the project. He provided an update on the construction and stated that there has been a slight delay and a letter was sent to businesses advising them of the delayed substantial completion date. Assistant County Engineer Andrew Witter stated that originally there was a lot of discussion as to whether this would be a one or two year project, with the ultimate decision being to proceed with an aggressive one year schedule. He stated that they are still on track to get the area open to traffic this year, which will help to spur some of the development and growth the City is already seeing in The COR. He stated that the main priority is to get the interchange open to all lines of traffic, noting that the bridge over Highway 10 will be open to traffic but will not be completely finished this year and advised of items that would be completed in 2016. Councilmember Kuzma asked when the beams across Highway 10 would occur and whether traffic would be closed for that process. Assistant County Engineer Witter stated that there would be some temporary closures that would occur as the beams are set, noting that work would occur during the nighttime hours. He stated that the County has been overseeing the schedule vigilantly, noting that the construction field has been very busy this season. Mayor Strommen thanked Assistant County Engineer Witter for his presentation tonight. She thanked the businesses that have been patient during this time. 3. CITIZEN INPUT None. 4.
