4. PW 2017-55 Windett Ridge Bond Call
Mr. Sanderson said the agreement with Ryland/CalAtlantic requires that all punchlist items need to be
done by the end of August. They have requested additional time to complete the items including
grading of ponds. He said a resident has been calling regarding the washed out trail. He said another
solution will be required since it's a major waterway. The committee was OK with a 2-month
extension and this moves to the consent agenda, however, it will require a vote.
5. PW 2017-56 Water Meter Price Increase
Mr. Olson said prices have not been adjusted for a few years, even though the costs have risen. An
increase is being recommended on meters for new construction. This will not apply to replacement
meters. The committee approved and this moves to the Council agenda next week.
6. PW 2017-57 Downtown Fencing and Sidewalk
Mr. Olson said the City went to RFP for the second time for the west and east alleys. Bids were
received, research was done, but the City was not comfortable with recommending the bidder due to
their distance from the City. It was decided to split the project. It was recommended to reject the bids
at this time. This will be brought back in August.
Old Business: None
Additional Business:
Alderman Milschewski asked about the status of the large holes in the Old Second bank parking lot.
The city was preparing to resurface it, however, the storm structures were found to be in poor condition
and will be repaired first.
Alderman Tarulis showed photos of a deep hole on McHugh in the parkway. Comcast has been
working there and said it would be fixed by this time. The date has passed and staff will follow-up.
Alderman Koch addressed a sidewalk problem on Hawthorne Ct. near Walsh. There are cracks and the
sidewalk has raised up in some spots. Mr. Olson thought it was was an ADA matter and will follow up
with an email. Mr. Sanderson also said Public Works has been working on this and he will follow-up.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:19pm.
