Chairperson Kuzma asked if the design cost would cover both the park and pump house areas. Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood provided additional details on the elements that are included in the design, including the pump house elements and Center Street improvements. Chairperson Kuzma asked if the pump house elements would include filters that may be necessary for water treatment. Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood noted that would be a separate activity, and they would ensure not to plan anything in areas that would perhaps need to be disturbed in the future for water treatment improvements. Councilmember Menth asked for additional details on how the improvements would be added. Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood replied that the pump house material is meant to have material clad onto it, explaining that the new materials would be added to the existing structure. He provided additional details on the location of the temporary section of road and trail that would be improved. Councilmember Riley agreed that this is the right time to improve the pump house as the area around it continues to develop. Councilmember Menth noted that the last Council meeting included a discussion on the desire to hold apartment buildings to certain standards and agreed that the City should hold itself to the same standard. Motion by Councilmember Menth, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to recommend to the City Council to approve $11,800 for Center Street area capital improvement planning Motion carried.
