Councilmember Woestehoff stated that perhaps the alternative would be to do standard concrete <br />going forward. <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek completed the review of the proposed project. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff referenced the storm sewer portion of the project which mentioned <br />culverts. He referenced the Ford Brook Estates street reconstruction project that was completed <br />in 2019 but additional storm sewer improvements are now being considered there, asking if there <br />are similar concerns for this area. <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek provided additional details on the differences. He stated that <br />this would be graded to the same existing outfall. <br />Motion by Councilmember Musgrove, seconded by Councilmember Woestehoff, to recommend <br />City Council approval of plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for <br />Barthel’s Rum River Acres and White Pines Estates Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project <br />#24-01. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Musgrove and Woestehoff. <br />Voting No: None. <br />5.02: Update on Halls Dover Acres Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #24-02 <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancekreviewed the staff report and recommendation from staff to <br />complete the 12-inch trunk watermain extension from Potassium Street to the Sodium way cul-de- <br />sac off of Sunfish Lake Boulevard. Additionally, staff recommends allowing service connections <br />off of the trunk watermain to properties along the proposed route. However, staff only supports <br />allowing connections which will be ready for immediate hook-up, and does not recommend <br />extending watermain in the subdivision beyond what is necessary for the trunk watermain loop <br />connection as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Councilmember Riley commented that if they are putting water through the neighborhood, it <br />would seem short sighted to not offer the connections to residents. <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek askedthat if it is supported to allow connections to the trunk <br />line for the proposed route, would the Committee want staff to be proactive and reach out to <br />residents or wait for them to reach out. He stated that if the connections are supported, they would <br />only want to allow that for residents that want immediate hook up rather than extending services <br />just to do so as some people choose not to connect. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked the differences between the trunk extension and not on the map. <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek reviewed those options. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff commented that the purpose is to connect the loop and he supports <br />that completion. He also agreed that if they are going to do that, he would want to be proactive, <br />Public Works Committee / November 21, 2023 <br />Page 4 of 10 <br /> <br />
