<br />Chairperson Riley asked if the goal fits together with the activity of the parks department. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that he is unsure that the parks plan would get into that level of <br />detail. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated that the parks department is working on a <br />replacement plan for the parks and ADA elements would be included in those activities. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley stated that he is glad the City is doing this. He asked for information on the <br />next steps. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby asked if the Committee would like staff to attempt to gain input from the <br />public prior to bringing this forward to the Council for adoption. He stated that staff would like <br />to bring this forward to the Council in August as the City has one grant application out currently. <br />He stated that another option would be to adopt the draft and then there could be options for <br />public input in the future. <br /> <br />Councilmember Johns stated that while she likes to involve the public, most of the document is <br />State statute and there is not much room for changes to be made at this time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he would support bringing the draft forward to the Council <br />for adoption and if changes need to be made in the future, that could be done. He noted that it <br />would be good to alert the public in the future to the potential cost for these improvements. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Committee to bring the document forward to the Council at the <br />th <br />August 6 meeting to consider to adoption. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that once adopted, the plan could be placed on the website with a <br />summary of how the City plans to implement and maintain the plan. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley encouraged staff to make it clear to the public that this is a fluid plan and <br />changes can be made based on public input. <br /> <br />6.02: Review Future Topics Calendar <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby reviewed the future topics calendar. <br /> <br />6.03: Staff Updates on Improvement Projects and Items of Interest <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that a list of improvement projects and updates were included in the <br />case and provided a brief summary. He provided an update on The COR regional infiltration <br />basin project. He noted that staff continues to negotiate with PSD to obtain the necessary land <br />for the basin, using a land swap method as directed by Council. He stated that staff will talk to <br />the LRRWMO later this week in attempt to obtain an extension for the project. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee / July 17, 2018 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br /> <br />
