Unscheduled matters AGENDA PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE May 8th 2000 7:00 P.M. Agenda 1. Parking—time extension Palace Bar and Lanes The Palace is in negotiations for property to build a lot — this is a joint effort of area business. They are questioning the impact of diagonal parking. Public Works is recommending extension of time; diagonal parking if approved after test period should not have effect on required parking spaces. 2. Alan Broyles&Rick Shaver—See Attached—Public Works Recommends the Bill not be adjusted. 3. Ted Proctor—See Attached—Public Works Recommends the Bill not be adjusted. 4. Robert Shaw—See Attached—Public Works Recommends the Bill not be adjusted. 5. Duane Swecker—See Attached—Public Works Recommends the Bill not be adjusted. We have several situations in Laurel where there are two houses on one shut off, owned by one owner and rented out,with each rental water service being in the renters name. If one is delinquent we cannot shut off the account. The new rules and regulations will require the property owner to put accounts in his or her name. The rules also require a separate curb box for each residential unit. We can still bill the address but the property owner will be ultimately responsible for the bill. The City should not be assisting landlords in costs in any fashion. These requirements when adopted by Council will include existing properties. 6. Al Hicks — Well Driller — pumping water into the streets. We have numerous well being drilled. We mailed out the attached information to local well drillers. The Well Drillers are attempting to say we are restricting their business and are doing so because we do not want wells in the City. This is not true we are following City Ordinances and the more wells we have the less demand on the water system. This issue stemmed from citizen complaints about sand and water standing in the streets. 7. Park on Fir Avenue—update—Al McMilin&Ken Olson 8. Pat Murtahg—City Grant Writer—Needs assessment.—Resolution for Council 9. Contribution to YMCA summer recreation program. Unscheduled Agenda Public Works Committee April 10,2000 7:00 P.M. City Council Chamber 1. Quotes for pickup budgeted for in the Waste Water are in. Midland Dodge-$13985.60 Laurel Ford-$13990.50 Archie Cochran Ford - $14316.00 Recommended low bid of Midland Dodge --$4.90 diff in low bids do we stay with local business. It will cause dodge a concern and they may quit giving us quotes. 2. The High School will be using the parks this August for Soccer training. 3. Needs assessment -first phase of OP program. 4. The Fish Wildlife and Parks have a grant available for park development. We need to apply for it to be used at Riverside to provide control of vehicles. 5. Water leak on Bear tooth Drive. Turned out to be service line, because of costs owner was very upset we reexamined cost and adjusted them. This has brought up again the need to develop a service line replacement fund. 6. LRL request to close First Street from First Ave to 2nd Ave every Saturday starting July 15th to October 7th every Saturday weather permiting. 7. South Pond electrical installation—to run from closest power pole to new rest room building$4837.00. City installed under ground conduit. Ace electric has yet to price out breaker box for park. 8. Control of Parks—To be included in our Rules and Regulations. This must happen if we are going to maintain control and cause groups to clear activities, plantings, construction in the parks 9. Casa Linda—responses to having City replace curbs to correct the obstruction that residents placed in the gutter. 10. Diagonal parking 11. Sewer line South 1st Ave, is an old water line- 12. Unscheduled matters. Review of Solid Waste rate increase proposal. —Town meeting date set for April 12, 7:00 P.M. City Council Chambers. The information is ready to present. Committee to critique presentation. Agenda Public Works Committee March 13, 2000 1. Baby pool — The pool is not connected to the chlorine system of the pool. Presently we are chlorinating each morning and it is closed at noon and chlorinated again by mixing a chlorine solution in a bucket and poring it in. This takes a period of time to mix with the pool water. The state is aware of our operation and we do not have a method to provide constant chlorine levels.. 2. Swimming lessons during the season. We receive numerous complaints from parents that do not feel their child (a) has enough attention (b) has too much attention (c) we are not teaching them properly. A suggestion on swimming lesions is that a parent, guardian or adult be in attendance in the pool in the water with their child to teach a child to swim. We provide 1 instructor. 3. Boulevard trees in the business district have grown to a size they are becoming a problem. Attached is information from the Chamber of Commerce. It is my understanding that each business planted and paid for the tree in front of their property. a. The trees have pushed the sidewalk up around most of them. b. The planting for beautification would need to be expanded further east and west on main and 1st street. c. If the city were to take this over tree work it would have to be contracted out. d. Because the trees have pushed the sidewalk up around the base we will be ask to correct the problem. In checking with several cities that have trees planted in the boulevard the responsibility for the tree and its existence or not belongs to the property owner as well as the replacement curb gutter and sidewalk. Public works recommends that we notify the chamber of this and they can notify their membership. The removal of trees or replanting of trees in the business district will be of concern for the Laurel Revitalization efforts as they work to improve the district. This is also true of curbs gutter and sidewalks. 4. Lights at the Ball field—Mark Mace 5. Diagonal Parking on 1st Ave, Montana, Colorado, 2' Ave. Do we want to try this on a temporary test. Traffic Safety is opposed because of safety records. 6. Curb obstructions on 10th Ave circle. Bids are in to rebuild the drive approaches. This is an area that we need to decide if the City is going to bear the costs of citizens obstructing or altering City owned property for their use. The bid is attached—it dose not reflect City cost to administer this correction. 7. Fences- Attached is information on proposed fencing projects. We have budgeted for them except for the fence at the shop. We are trying to get a handle on our material stored and to prevent contractor dumping on our property. 8. Old asphalt piles — Some years back the Public Works Director had the crews pile asphalt removed from areas of the City in the public right of way of 8th Avenue. This is south of ACE electric. Past practice was to bury in or depose of it in any fashion. The crews are presently going through the pile with a backhoe. We have contacted Eagle Services out of Roundup to grind the material so we can reuse it. They are charging $2.00 per yard if we load it into the machine. The work will occur in the next couple of weeks depending on weather. In the future asphalt will be separated when removed from the surface and stored with in our storage area. 9. Street sweeping —The City has never swept streets except in the business district. We are planning to start a City wide street sweeping program. This will be started in the spring and will take a substantial dedication of manpower. The curbs in many areas are completely covered and it will require a loader and dump truck to clean them. Because we will have a loader out we will be able to clean under the trees that have low hanging branches. The trees need to be cut to a height of 14 feet above the streets. This has never been required in the City of Laurel. The regulation is in or rules and regulations that are about ready for adoption. Because we have never required owners to maintain the trees we need to decide if the City will do the trimming to 14 feet the first time or do we begin ordering owners to cut the trees. With the above in mind I ask for price quotes from Magnus Tree Service and Trees on The Move. Magnus came back with the following. He checked 6 streets on the south side and counted 224 trees that hang below 14 feet. He would charge $80.00 per tree. This comes to $17920.00. This would require a three-year commitment by the city in that he would purchase added equipment. Not covered are any trees that are unsafe and need to come out or clearing around stop signs and streetlights. The unsafe trees could be handled separately by notifying the owner that they must remove the tree and they could contract with someone to take it out. Or the city could do it and charge it on the taxes. He would charge $150.00 per tree up to 16 inches Dia. We need to get to a point that the sweeper can move along the gutter cleaning the street.
