It was the consensus of the Public Works Committee that this is a problem that needs to be <br /> corrected for safety reasons. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Johns, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to recommend the City <br /> Council accept the proposed plan. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Johns and Kuzma. Voting <br /> No: None. Absent: Councilmember Shryock. <br /> 6. COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT <br /> 6.01: Staff Updates on Improvement Projects and Items of Interest <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated Tuesday there was a water main break in a location <br /> where a storm sewer was running on top of it; however, they worked hard and fast and got it <br /> fixed and running again soon after. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked if the issue was old pipes. <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated the age of the pipes could have played a part in the <br /> break but they also suspect the pipe could have been pierced by a fork during construction at <br /> some point. <br /> City Engineer Westby noted the pipes aren't really old and he wouldn't expect many breaks in <br /> the near future as these pipes are typically good for 80 - 100 years so they should all last awhile. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated the Armstrong pavement relay project started October 3, 2016 and <br /> they anticipate it being finished close to the end of October. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated the Business Park 95 stormwater pond improvements should be <br /> done by the end of the month as well. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated the Andrie Street project is currently underway but was delayed due <br /> to the rain. He stated the contract stated the project was to be completed by September 30, 2016 <br /> but has been extended. He noted they will discuss upon completion whether or not there should <br /> be any liquidated damages as a result of the extended completion date. He stated they plan to <br /> have Phase 3 completed by the end of October. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated on Alpine Drive, there is a dip where they completed Phase 1 of <br /> the Andrie Street project and he is concerned that if it is not corrected, it will just cause damage <br /> again sooner than later. <br /> City Engineer Westby replied that issue should be corrected when they finish the project. <br /> City Engineer Westby announced the Jarvis Street Railroad Crossing Quiet Zone goes into effect <br /> on October 31, 2016. <br /> Public Works Committee/ October 18, 2016 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br />
