Councilmember Riley stated that it would seem to make more sense and would be more cost <br /> efficient for the City to do sampling and share that information. <br /> 6.02: Review Future Topics Calendar <br /> City Engineer Westby noted that an updated calendar was included in the case. <br /> There was discussion on future well location and possibilities for water treatment. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked for additional details on the increase in costs for road improvements <br /> and how that translates to the increase in an assessment. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated that he will provide a detailed response to Councilmember Riley. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that he was surprised to hear that there are unexpended funds and <br /> asked why those have not been used. <br /> City Engineer Westby replied that Finance Director Lund could provide a better response. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked why a project has not yet been identified to use those funds. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated that he would have to defer to Finance Director Lund. He noted <br /> that he was just made aware of the unexpended funds. <br /> Councilmember Riley suggested that item be added as a case for the next month. He stated that <br /> if there.are funds available, he would think it would make sense to complete a project with those <br /> funds. <br /> City Engineer Westby explained that those funds are being used to fund the two improvement <br /> projects this year, rather than bonding for those projects. He confirmed that he would bring back <br /> additional details to the next meeting. <br /> Councilmember Riley referenced the comment that the benefit appraisals will not be completed <br /> for the two road construction projects. He commented that it did not seem to make sense to <br /> apply that cost savings to the assessment amount. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated that a benefit appraisal would only be done because projects are <br /> being assessed and therefore that cost is directly attributed to assessments. <br /> Councilmember Riley agreed that these were good opportunities to not complete the benefit <br /> appraisals but noted that it did not make sense to apply that to the residents and it should instead <br /> just lessen the project cost. <br /> Chairperson Kuzma agreed that the cost savings should just reduce the overall project cost. <br /> Public Works Committee/May 21,2019 <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br />
