the existing fence from their properties if desired and assess that portion of the costs back to the residents. Chairperson Riley agreed that the fence is run along the edge, as originally desired. He was unsure that the old fence needs to be considered as that is on private property. Councilmember Woestehoff stated that he agrees, but still feels like those residents should be informed about the project and if those residents desired the existing fence to be removed, perhaps there would be a cost savings that could be offered by having the City contractor remove the fence. Councilmember Musgrove agreed with going as close as they can with the fence and angle the end. She agreed that the existing fence should be left in place and if the homeowners want that removed, they could do that. She still had concern that this may not fully protect the area from noise and the City may need to extend it further in the future. She commented that she would not want to delay the project by asking the residents about the existing fence. City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby replied that there would be some benefit to extending south and to put the angle on the end. He stated that when the property to the north develops, the City would look to the developer to build that as part of their project. Chairperson Riley confirmed the consensus of the Committee with that direction. City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby identified the length the fence would run for clarity. He stated that the existing fence is 170 feet, and the proposed fence would be about 328 feet in length. Chairperson Riley confirmed the consensus of the Committee to leave the existing fence in place. Councilmember Woestehoff commented that he would still like the property owners to be informed of the project once it is approved and awarded by the City Council. Chairperson Riley stated that this item does not need to come back to the Committee and should go forward to the City Council. It was the consensus of the Committee to place the case on the Consent Agenda. City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby noted that this will most likely go to the first or second Council meeting in January which would bring the contract award consideration back to the Council in March which would allow for spring construction. 5.02: Update on Plans for Wetland 114P Outlet Civil Engineer IV Linton reviewed the staff report and stated that staff recommends bringing the project to the December 13, 2022 City Council meeting for authorization to advertise the project to receive quotes for the work.
