Purpose/Background: The Public Works Committee held its regular meeting on March 21, 2017 and discussed the following cases: 1.Nominate Chair and Vice-Chair of the Public Works Committee: Motion for City Council to recommend nomination of Chris Riley for Committee Chair and Mark Kuzma for Committee Vice Chair. 2. Consider Recommending Council Approval of City Cost Participation for Looped Watermain Connection through Brookfield 8th Addition: City Engineer Westby explained the Brookfield 8th Addition development includes a 1,200-foot-long cul-de-sac street that is proposed to be served by City water and sanitary sewer. The development plans, submitted by Capstone Homes, shows the 8"diameter watermain coming to a dead end at the edge of the plat. City Engineering staff have directed the developer to extend the dead-end watermain line to connect with an existing watermain stub north of 166h Avenue. The line would extend through a City-owned right-of-way to create a looped trunk watermain system,which provides numerous benefits. The line could be either trenched or drilled, at an overall cost of$100,000. The developer has agreed to share up to 50%of the costs. In terms of benefits,the looped watermain will improve public safety, enhance water pressure and water quality, and reduce maintenance costs. This unique situation will not set a precedent for future developers as the extension will not be within the plat for Brookfield 8th Addition. Capstone Homes would complete the connection as part of their development, and the City's share of costs will be covered under the Water Funds.
