Chairperson Riley asked if there is an easement on the other side of the property that could be <br /> swapped. <br /> City Engineer / Interim Public Works Director Westby replied that there are only standard <br /> perimeter easements. <br /> Mr. Ridgeway commented that in a recent heavy rain event, he walked to where the water goes <br /> into the culvert, and it continues to flow at a high speed which he believes is a safety concern for <br /> small children as they could get sucked in. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that the Committee did discuss that at the last meeting and there <br /> was concern that putting a grate would trap someone under the water. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff commented that the concern was with someone being pushed against <br /> the culvert. <br /> Chairperson Riley confirmed that Mr. Ridgeway is satisfied with this plan and would like it to <br /> move forward. <br /> City Engineer / Interim Public Works Director Westby commented that this should be a quick <br /> process. He stated that they will look further at the diversion structure for the end of the culvert, <br /> but the grading and turf will only be a few days of work. He commented that the work could easily <br /> be done in October. He asked if the Committee would like to see more of the finished plans in <br /> September. He stated that if the cost is around $10,000, staff could solicit bids from a few <br /> contractors to bring back. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that he did not believe this needs to come back to the Committee <br /> and could proceed to the City Council. <br /> City Engineer / Interim Public Works Director Westby commented that because of the cost and <br /> the fact that this was not on the CIP, this would be placed on the Consent Agenda and confirmed <br /> consensus of the Committee. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Musgrove, seconded by Councilmember Woestehoff, to direct staff to <br /> finalize the plans for the drainage improvement plans for the property at 15410 Argon Street not <br /> to exceed $10,000. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Musgrove and Woestehoff. <br /> Voting No: None. <br /> Chairperson Riley thanked staff for finding a more cost-effective solution. <br /> 6.02: Receive Updates on Improvement Projects, Studies, and Items of Interest <br /> City Engineer / Interim Public Works Director Westby provided an update on the 161' Avenue <br /> reconstruct project, noting that the case will be presented to the full Council the following night. <br /> Public Works Committee/August 22,2022 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br />
