MINUTES ICI CITY OF LAUREL PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MONDAY, DUNE 16,2025 The Public Works Committee meeting was called to order at 6:00pm on Monday, June 16, 2025, by Chair Heidi Sparks. Members Present: Heidi Sparks- Chair, Jodi Mackay - Vice Chair, Iry Wilke, Jessica Banks, Richard Herr Others Present: Matt Wheeler- Public Works Director, Thadeus Lesnik- State of Montana Public Input: None General Items: 1. Approval of Minutes from May 19, 2025. Iry made a motion to approve the minutes of May 19, 2025, 2025. Motion was seconded by Jodi. Motion carried 5-0 to approve the minutes. 2. Emergency Call Out Report- Report attached i. All items are water and sewer replated. The incident on June 5 was a water main break that took all night for repair. This was the lead going into South Pond. This has now repaired. 3. KLJ Report- Report attached i. Ryan at KLJ is out of town. In lieu of a report from KLJ, the 7th Street Waterline Replacement project has been revived. Matt provided the previous task order that had been drafted previously, but not finalized. Matt stated he will be discussing this when Ryan returns from vacation. o Iry asked if this project had previously been budgeted. Matt stated this specific project was not called out in the budget, but funds have been saved for the West Railroad project so there are funds available to cover this project. o Iry also asked about the street on the southside regarding the street that was brought to the council at the past council meeting. Matt stated he and the mayor drove down to the street in question, and the alley and roadway look fine according their assessment. Matt also stated at this point they have done , the maintenance that will be completed on that road for right now. New Business: Old Business: 4. West Railroad update i. Thadeus stated he pulled the previous memo provided to the City in February 2024. He reviewed the numbers that were provided in that memo, which was a cost of$10.437 million. The numbers since that memo was drafted has not changed. Funding sources from the State Urban Fund allocated to this project as well as the funds committed by the City of Laurel will cover this cost, with roughly $400 thousand"extra". o Updates and changes that have taken place since February 2024 is a re- evaluation of the storm water drainage issue on the southside. During the S 4cn St project a short trunk line for drainage was put into a short part of Woodland, but was not part of that project to run the line up Woodland to West Railroad. Matt has stated there is no funding at this time to run the drainage line the rest of the way up Woodland. Because of this the State is trying to re-evaluate how to handle the stormwater drainage. The sate has reached out to the railroad, which does not want to have their right-of-way used for a public storm water drainage. They are also looking at underground boulder pits as another option. 1. They are exhausting all options before having to re-evaluate the scope of the project. This could also be an evaluation of cost to run the drainage line the rest of the way up Woodland as part of the project to deal with the storm water. 2. Matt stated he will talk with Ryan to determine if he has the plans for Woodland. Since this would be water and sewer lines, there is potential to utilize enterprise funds to cover the bulk of the cost of Woodland. 3. Because of the storm water issue, this project is now pushed to a 2028 project. 5. Development of Committee Guidelines/Bylaws i. Attorney Braukmann was unable to attend tonight. This is being moved to July meeting for discussion. 6. Potential Street Maintenance projects i. Matt stated the school district would like to pave Alder. This is part of the requirements for annexation, but they still have heavy trucks running up the road. Matt does not want to have the street paved until all construction is done so they are not damaging a new road. Other Items: Announcements Next Meeting will be Monday, July 21, 2025 at 6:00 pm in Council Chambers.

B. Topographic and Design Surveys—Complete and furnish preliminary ground survey of project limits to include site contours, existing surface features, and above- and below-ground utilities. Topographic survey will generally be bounded within right-of-way limits,and occasionally beyond as needed to verify grades,adjacent features,and structures.The topographic survey will be accomplished by conventional survey methods. Primary control points will be established as Montana NAD83 (2002) OPUS corrected State Plane Coordinates. Prior to beginning topographic data collection, a level network will be run through all control points and tied to the vertical datum. As topographic data is collected an ongoing QC-CIA process will verify all data and make sure pertinent features are be included on the map. C. Base Drawing Preparation—Create a base drawing depicting calculated parcel boundaries,topographic survey data,and record drawings provided by Owner and other utility owners.
