Real Estate Manager Charity Lee provided a PowerPoint presentation that covered the following: RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION OVERVIEW MAP PROJECT COST ACQUISITION COSTS Councilmember Whelan asked why the project was picked as a priority to complete. Ms. Lee explained that this is the third phase of the project and there are drainage issues in the area but because the city does not own the property the improvements cannot be made. Councilmember Whelan expressed concern about other projects not being completed or postponed and asked why they cannot be prioritized over phase three of another project. Capital Improvements Engineer Bret Peterson stated that much of it has to do with funding sources. Stormwater improvements are funded by stormwater fees and Road Repair and Street Safety funds the streets projects. Mayor Evans added that she understands the frustration, but the other consideration is that constant reprioritization of projects leads to nothing ever being fully completed. There is value to completing the project and adding another to the capital improvement plan. |
