Discussion:
The Public Hearing opened at 7:01 p.m. City Administrator Tom Ourada explained the 1-year map. There are a number of new projects based on interactions with the school. Ourada stated 306 is a roundabout at the stop sign at the entrance to the school and 302 is a roundabout on 13th and Iris. Ourada explained he met with Senator Fisher's Aid and they spoke about some of the projects and would like Senator Fisher to carry some of those projects. It would be about 15 million dollars. Some of it will be timing and some of it will be elections. Planning Commission member Scott Kuncl asked about the big projects on the 1-year and Ourada explained that the big projects would be federal aid projects. Ourada explained that the project on 15th street is a carry over from last year, 300 is a request for gap paving and 305 is gap paving, 304 is an alley paving, 308 is a pedestrian overpass and would be a federal aid project. Kuncl asked if the 15th street projects all needs to be torn up and Ourada explained that pretty much yes, it would.
Planning Commission member Justin Kozisek asked about having 13th and Boswell Ave on the 1 and 6 year plan. Ourada explained that it had been at one time and he had not realized the passion that people have for trees. Ourada also explained that it would not qualify for federal aid due to the size and lack of sidewalks and would not meet federal design standards. Ourada explained the 6-year map and stated that there is nothing really new on the 6 year. All of Westwoods is on there. Ourada explained that the 1 and 6-year plan is a requirement for State funding. This year around $800,000 to operate the Street Department. It goes to the Planning Commission for Public Hearing and then to the City Council for Public Hearing. Public Hearing closed at 7:34 p.m. |
