10.5. Discuss, Consider, and Take Necessary Action to approve a resolution that authorizes Superintendent Johnson to sign Safe Routes Supplemental Agreement #4
Rationale:
The agreement provides for changes to the retaining wall from an MSE wall to a soil nail retaining wall. The MSE wall would have required portions of the track to be removed and replaced and the district wants to avoid that action. After review, we find the soil nail wall to be a preferred option. This will necessitate an increase to the original fee structure of the grant.
