Executive Review
Council Issues
4. Update on S. 4th Street Construction Project.
Ryan Welsh, KLJ, stated the substantial completion date for the project is October 14"'. All
asphalt, curbs, and gutters are installed. There is still some hydroseeding and sidewalks left to
do.
It was questioned what substantial completion means. It was clarified that substantial completion
means that 95% of the project is completed. There will be a final walk-through, and the contract
will have a specified timeframe to complete any remaining items.
Council asked for clarification on returning to similar conditions for Maple and S. 5"' Street. It
was clarified that the City prioritized paving in front of South School. Other areas would be
graveled due to the age and condition of the utilities. Public Works Director Wheeler showed the
Council a section of a water line that was removed during the S. 0' Street Project. The
infrastructure will need to be replaced in the very near future.
Council questioned if another big project was in the works. It was clarified that the City
designated the Southside as a priority. S. 4`h Street was done first to give a route for future
projects.
Mayor Waggoner clarified that each one block section would cost approximately 600k to 700k to
replace all infrastructure, curb, gutter, and asphalt. The City will focus on a street or two as the
budget allows.
It was questioned if the City could get dust control oil put on the gaveled roads to keep the dust
manageable. It was clarified that this is a viable solution. The City has done this in previous
years, and it has worked well until it rains.
It was questioned if Russel Park is completed. It was clarified that the contractor is still waiting
for the playground equipment to arrive.
It was questioned if there is any ponding happening in this area now that the streets have been
paved. It was clarified that the Engineer had not seen any ponding happening on the Street that
has been redone. However, as previously stated, if someone's Street had issues prior, they will
continue to have issues.
Council thanked KLJ, the Mayor, and COP Construction for their work on this project. It was a
very painful project, but it addressed many of the issues on the Southside and is just the
beginning.
Other Items
Attendance at Upcoming Council Meeting
Council Members Klose and Sparks will be absent.
Mayor Waggoner also stated he will be absent from next week's meeting.
Announcements
A Constituent contacted a Council Member regarding two alley approaches that need to be
addressed as they are very steep; see attached pictures.
Mayor Waggoner stated that he would have Public Works look into this in the morning.
Council Member Eaton noticed as she was going through some scanned documents that in March
of 1915, the final estimate for Water District No. 9 was $2,119.57. In comparison, in 2023, it was
more expensive to purchase a whole beef.
Ambulance staff will be doing more educational sessions this week for the EMS Mill Levy.
The Cracked Egg opens on Friday at 6:00 a.m.
The council workshop adjourned at 7:03 p.m.
