Proposed 2011-2015 Capital Improvement Program
Councilmember Willis thanked staff for the information regarding using new sanitary sewer
lining technology for sewer lateral rehabilitation; however, he requested that staff provide another
report on the amount of money the City would be saving over the life of it and if it has been
determined that the program is effective in reducing infiltration.
In reviewing the proposed street reconstruction projects, Councilmember Black suggested that
with mill and overlay projects, the City removes some curb areas here and there in order to
accommodate rain gardens, with the approval of the property owners. Public Works Director
Cote stated that there is greater flexibility to do those types of initiatives with total street
reconstruction projects.
Councilmember Johnson requested that the new street reconstruction plan/assessment policy be
considered by the Council in early 2011 before the public open houses begin for street
reconstruction projects. This item was added to the pending study session list.
Regarding the transit area, Councilmember Willis stated the Council will need to start thinking
about the future of the transit system as the funding sources would be exhausted by the end of
2012. Councilmember Bildsoe agreed and stated this should be discussed when the Council
prepares their goals and priorities for 2011.
The Council added discussion on the city manager evaluation to the December 7 Study Session
agenda. The study session would begin at 5:30 p.m.
