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 st 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 />
