Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Johns and Shryock. Voting <br />No: None. <br />6. COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT <br />6.01: Review 2016 Temporary COR Concrete Pavement Repairs <br />City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and described the need for concrete repairs to <br />streets within The COR. He displayed pictures of the streets and sidewalks requiring repair, <br />noting areas of cracks, gaps, and voids. City Engineer Westby stated staff is developing plans <br />for permanent repairs but due to the significant costs and time to research necessary repairs and <br />develop permanent repair plans that construction will not occur until 2017. However, he <br />recommended that temporary repair of the significant cracks and voids be made the week of July <br />18 by Reshetar Systems to assure safety of pedestrians and bicyclists, especially within the <br />crosswalks. City Engineer Westby estimated these temporary repairs will cost $18,000. <br />Councilmember Johns asked who original did this cement work and if it was a defective product. <br />City Engineer Westby stated it was a City improvement project and while the road was originally <br />designed to be bituminous, after bids were received it was decided to change it to a concrete <br />`signature' street for The COR. <br />Councilmember Johns asked if a full reconstruction is needed to correct the base. <br />City Engineer Westby stated at this time staff is researching funding options. He stated this <br />project is included in the CIP as a placeholder, and the cost may be in excess of $500,000. He <br />noted one option is to fund this project through assessments. <br />Councilmember Shryock stated if the City wants a new look' for The COR, cobblestone pavers <br />would be more durable than colored concrete. <br />Chairperson Riley agreed there is a much larger discussion to be had but at this point, the repairs <br />need to be made to address the safety issues. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated staff does not do much with concrete work so it is <br />recommended to use Reshetar Systems. <br />Chairperson Riley stated concrete is supposed to last much longer than ten years so the Council <br />will want to know who did this work and if there are other remedies. He stated it may be <br />unreasonable to assess costs if the current road has only been in place for ten years. <br />City Engineer Westby stated these improvements are not a budgeted item or in the bonding <br />program. He asked if the Public Works Committee wants staff to prepare a recommendation to <br />approve feasibility report preparation, noting the temporary repairs should last a couple of years. <br />Public Works Committee / July 19, 2016 <br />Page 6 of 8 <br />
