Councilmember Musgrove asked for details on the proposed funds for ground penetrating radar <br /> (GPR) data. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated that in 2017 the City collected GPR data for about 30 miles of <br /> roads, which has been helpful in determining how to move forward in those few years. He stated <br /> that as the issues with the construction of the roads continues to be an issue; this data is helpful <br /> in formulating an appropriate plan for improvement of the roads. He explained that the City <br /> contracts with a company that comes out to collect the data. He stated that the readings are <br /> provided every foot of roadway in order to provide useful data on the road sections. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if$75,000 would be sufficient for that activity. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated that$75,000 will not be enough to collect data on all of the roads in <br /> the city but would provide a sufficient amount of data to assist in planning for future road <br /> improvements. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that this plan makes sense and it will be helpful to have more <br /> accurate data for its continued discussion on road funding. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that the Public Works Committee discussed this case. He <br /> acknowledged that it may not seem right to discontinue a road improvement program, but there <br /> is a problem with sealcoating and therefore it does not make sense to spend money making the <br /> roads worse. He stated that he also agrees with the reallocation of funds as proposed. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to Adopt Resolution <br /> #20-038 Indefinitely Suspending Annual Sealcoat Program and Reallocating Budgeted 2020 <br /> Sealcoat Funds. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Riley, Musgrove, Heinrich, <br /> Kuzma, Menth, and Specht. Voting No: None. <br /> 7.04: Adopt Resolution #20-039 Approving Preliminary Cost Share Framework for <br /> Improvement Project#20-04: Development Initiated Puma Street Extension Project <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation from the <br /> Public Works Committee to approve the Preliminary Cost Share Framework for Improvement <br /> Project #20-04: Development Initiated Puma Street Extension Project. Additionally, the Public <br /> Works Committee inquired if the two developers would agree to pay for their share of the project <br /> costs up front rather than being assessed. Capstone has responded that they prefer to be assessed <br /> but would further evaluate once final numbers are available. Paxmar has responded that they <br /> would not support an up-front payment regardless of the amount. With that in mind, the <br /> assessment process will be required in order to move this project forward as presented. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Specht, to Adopt Resolution <br /> #20-039 Approving Preliminary Cost Share Framework for Improvement Project #20-04: <br /> Development Initiated Puma Street Extension. <br /> City Council/February 24,2020 <br /> Page 6 of 9 <br />
