REPORTS
122977 - Greenwood/Schmitt
that communication from City Engineer transmitting request to remove Cedar
Street from this year's street reconstruction contract and add Cedar Bend
Street, Kimball Avenue, Westfield Avenue, W. San Marnan Drive and University
Avenue Frontage Road from S. Hackett Road to approximately 500 west to the 2006
Asphalt Overlay Program, Contract No. 706, be received, placed on file and
"Resolution approving said request", be adopted.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Eric Thorson, City Engineer, stated that last year's letter suggested that other
streets would be included if there were a fund balance. A bad winter is hard on
streets such as Kimball Avenue, which is being added to the project. In
addition, the City Engineer is proposing to include the frontage road on
University Avenue. Mr. Thorson noted that some of the added streets weren't
even included in the city's 5 year plan. Mr. Thorson noted that adding these
streets will help the Street Department because of the potholes on the heavily
traveled streets.
Mayor Hurley noted that Cedar Street is being removed because of the
difficulties with parking and some property issues. It is hoped something will
be worked out that is a win/win situation for everyone.
Councilperson Gunderson asked if eastbound Kimball Avenue could be added. Mr.
Thorson responded that doing westbound Kimball Avenue should help with noise
reduction, and that the other lane was overlaid not too long ago and we should
get life out of that.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following
result. Ayes: Seven.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2006-109.
