CURB INSTALLATION EAST OF CIVIC CENTER
The purpose of this meeting is to reconsider construction of a curb at
the easterly edge of the driveway east of the Civic Center as a result
of discussion at the Construction Meeting of December 12, since
completion of the work in that area is anticipated prior to the next
regular meeting; Council determined not to install the curb at the
meeting of November 8, 1984.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen voiced opposition to the curb; indicated
$3,000 was excessive since there is no prior evidence of a problem in
that area; in addition, noted that should the City be required to pay
additional charges relative to the unresolved arbitration, the
remaining contingency fund balance would be approximately $5,210, with
additional costs anticipated.
Councilman Petta stated the curb should be installed at this time if
there is reason to believe it will be required at some future date;
the contractor advised two by fours will be installed in the absence
of a curb; the dirt will be higher and rain will cause mud to overflow
onto the driveway, creating a constant maintenance problem; in
addition, felt the project will appear unfinished with no curb.
Councilman Evans questioned if runoff would be the responsibility of
the property owner. City Attorney Hopkins advised the City would be
required to accept runoff due to natural causes. Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson favored curb installation if Mr. Zampese would share the
cost; felt curbing would look better. Councilman Petta advised Mr.
Zampese has no interest in whether or not the curb is installed,
feeling it would only benefit the City.
CC-84-309 Motion by Councilman Evans, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, to
deny the change order to construct a curb on the easterly edge of the
driveway east of the Civic Center.
Councilman Petta felt the curb would look better and would eliminate
maintenance problems. Mayor Grant felt the matter should be addressed
later if a problem becomes apparent. The Motion carried 4-1, with
Councilman Petta voting NOE.
ADJOURN - The Special Meeting adjourned at 6:25 p.m. The next regular
meet ni g will be held December 20, 1984 at 5:30 P.M.
