Public Works Superintendent Riemer reviewed the case and noted that staff recommends to make necessary repairs to the pavement on Bowers Drive during the summer of 2022 using in house staff and equipment. Chairperson Riley asked and received confirmation that staff would handle this work in the normal course of business. Public Works Superintendent Riemer confirmed that staff would address the larger issues first, noting that this work would not be a priority and would be treated as fill in work when time is available. Chairperson Riley commented that this road is ranked at a six and therefore is not included in the work list at this time. He asked if the rating would deteriorate in the next set of years to where a mill and overlay could not be completed and a reconstruction would be needed. Public Works Superintendent Riemer commented that he would not anticipate that the road would deteriorate in that manner. He stated that roads are rated each year and if the condition fell in that manner, it would be moved up. Chairperson Riley commented that perhaps a presentation could be provided to the full Council explaining the road condition rating and how that is done and the repairs that are needed at different points. He noted that there has been a lot of discussion related to funding, but it may help to have more explanation on the process behind the rating process as well. City Engineer Westby provided additional explanation on pavement conditions and how they can be rated. It was the consensus to place an item on a future Council worksession to provide additional details on pavement rating and to direct staff to complete necessary temporary asphalt repairs to Bowers Drive during the summer of 2022. 5.04: Consider Site Improvements to Parcel 46 and The Waterfront in The COR Economic Development Manager Sullivan presented the case and stated that staff recommends gathering additional information on the cost of each facet of the project internally and report back to the Committee for further discussion. City Engineer Westby provided additional details on the wetland impacts and the options for wetland replacement or the purchase of wetland credits which would have an additional cost. He also provided details on the ten-year recapture zone within the waterfront area. Chairperson Riley asked if this half of The COR drains to the infiltration basin. City Engineer Westby commented that the infiltration basin was designed to treat the entire area of The COR. Public Works Committee/January 18, 2022 Page 7 of 15
