CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 08/12/2019 Submitted For: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works By: MaryJo Warner, Engineering/Public Works 4. 18. Information Title Report from Public Works Committee. 1. Update on Pavement Maintenance Plan for Ferret Street and 147th Avenue Intersection: Motion for City Council to ratify the consensus of the Committee direction to suspend improvements to the intersection of Ferret Street and 147th Avenue in 2019. 2. Update on Variolite Street Reconstruction Options: Motion for City Council to ratify the consensus of the Committee direction for staff to proceed on development of the Variolite Street reconstruction project for 2020. Purpose/Background: 1. Update on Pavement Maintenance Plan for Ferret Street and 147th Avenue Intersection: City Engineer Westby stated that on July 11, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution #17-07-170 authorizing the preparation of a Feasibility Report for reconstructing the street in the HY-10 Ramsey subdivision under City Improvement Project No. 18-02. On May 22, 2018, the Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the proposed project and provided comments on design alternatives based on the potential for future development of the HY-10 Ramsey subdivision. Given the uncertainties associated with redevelopment, staff felt it would be most cost effective to bring the bituminous pavement up to usable standards, extend utilities and concrete curb and gutter along 147th Avenue only, and not to connect the street to adjacent developments at this time. Motion for City Council to ratify the consensus of the Public Works Committee direction to suspend improvements to the intersection of Ferret Street and 147th Avenue in 2019. 2. Update on Variolite Street Reconstruction Options: City Engineer Westby stated that typically staff starts developing street reconstruction and overlay projects for the following year in July or August, based on the workload and the scope of the projects. During the last five years, staff has followed the same project development process for all street reconstruction and overlay projects using the City's adopted Special Assessment Policy and 2015-2019 Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program. City Engineer Westby provided additional details on the process which includes the creation of a Feasibility Study/Report. He noted that currently the City does not have an adopted five-year Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program identifying projects that are eligible for the use of special assessment to pay a portion of the project costs. In addition, discussions are still underway as to how the City should fund street reconstruction and overlay projects. Engineer staff are therefore not able to start developing street reconstruction and/or overlay projects for 2020. Motion for City Council to ratify the consensus of the Committee direction for staff to proceed on development of the Variolite Street reconstruction project for 2020. Recommendation: 1. Motion for City Council to ratify the consensus of the Committee direction to suspend improvements to the intersection of Ferret Street and 147th Avenue in 2019. 2. Motion for City Council to ratify the consensus of the Committee direction for staff to proceed on development of the Variolite Street reconstruction project for 2020. Action:
