Update on Drainage Concern Findings at 17290 Germanium Street NW: Motion for City Council to ratify the consensus of the Committee that this issue is closed, that no further contact with the property owner is required in regard to this matter, and that the property owner does not need to be invited back to address the Committee on this matter.
 

1. Review Plan to Spend Unencumbered Pavement Management Program Funds: City Engineer Westby stated that during the May Public Works Committee meeting, staff was directed to present a case explaining the amount and sources of the unexpended pavement management program funds, why these funds were not spent earlier and the plan for spending the funds.  The current balance of the unencumbered funds is approximately $901,000.  This includes $872,500 from 2013 budgeted pavement management project funds that went unspent ($1,327,500 was budgeted and only $455,000 was spent) and $28,500 from five years of bond premiums and interest earnings. No action taken.
2. Update on Drainage Concern Findings at 17290 Germanium Street NW: City Engineer Westby stated that on November 13, 2018, the property owner at 17290 Germanium Street NW, Mr. Rick Aberle, informed the City Council of his concerns that runoff from the Covenant Meadows development was flooding his property.  On December 18, 2018, Mr. Aberle attended the Public Works Committee meeting to again present his concerns that runoff from the Covenant Meadows development is flooding his property. After much discussion, consensus was reached that Mr. Thomsen would complete the driveway improvements including grading and two eight-inch culverts and Mr. Aberle provided his permission for staff to enter his property to collect topographic data along his west property line and around and adjacent to his garage and driveway. Motion for City Council to ratify the consensus of the Committee that this issue is closed, that no further contact with the property owner is required in regard to this matter, and that the property owner does not need to be invited back to address the Committee on this matter.
