COMMITTEE BUSINESS <br />5.01: Review Cost Estimate for Drainage Improvements at 17650 Argon Street NW <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westbyreviewed the staff report and noted that the property <br />owners of 17650 Argon Street NW, Kevin and Sarah Mytko, are attending remotely. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked roughly how long this project would take to complete. <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby replied that assuming the contractor were ready to <br />go, with quick execution of contract documents, the grading and driveway repair work could <br />probably be completed in about three to four weeks. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked the length of time that would be spent on the driveway itself. <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby replied that they would need to remove existing <br />concrete, put in the culvert, replace the concrete, and establish the turf on the slopes. He estimated <br />about two weeks. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff commented that he personally believes the City would help with some <br />of this work, but the homeowner should take some responsibility as well. He would lean towards <br />asking the homeowner to cover the removal of the concrete and replacement of the concrete with <br />the City covering the rest. He stated that he does not feel that the City is at fault but also feels that <br />the City could consider helping within the right-of-way. <br />Acting Chairperson Musgrove commented that she feels the City has an obligation for the <br />easement but not for the front yard. She stated that if the water draining better could ease the <br />issues the resident is experiencing. <br />Mr. Mytko commented that their intention was not to have the City assist in the front yard, and <br />only within the right-of-way. <br />Public Works Committee / July 18, 2023 <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />
