City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby commented that he did not believe that AE2S would walk away from the project, but they would most likely reduce their time on site. He explained that would not be desirable as this is the time in the project when you want the project engineers on site, inspecting the progress as the contractors attempt to hurry to complete the remaining work and final details. Councilmember Riley agreed that it is important to have someone watching to ensure everything is done correctly. Councilmember Specht recognized that the funding is not coming from the general fund and will not impact the budget for the next year, as the water fund is being used. City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby commented that once the site is ready to safely host a tour, the Council will receive a tour of the facility. Councilmember Riley commented that the contractor is missing the timeline by a lot. He stated that if the winter put them behind, they should have had time during the other months to catch up. He reiterated that the City paid more to get the project completed sooner, and the contractor did not deliver. City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby confirmed that staff have heard that message, and they will be following up with the contractor. He continued to provide an update on other items of interest to the Committee. He confirmed the consensus of the Committee for him to provide updated information on the waterplay project within the packet, and the Committee can ask questions, rather than asking Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood to attend each meeting and provide an update. 6.02: Review Future Topics Calendar City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby reviewed the future topics calendar, and it was confirmed that the gravel road elimination program could be removed as that is being worked through the Capital Improvement Plan. 7.
