CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION March 4, 2019 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 APPROVED 4. Blue Heron Days Parade Traffic Plan — Public Safety Deputy Director Kyle Leibel reviewed the written staff report outlining options for changes including changing where parade would end and/or establishing a trail for property access during the parade. Mayor Reinert said he likes option three but also sees the benefit of having the parade follow a circuit to get things back to start. Council Member Manthey said he supports option three and wouldn't have a problem with adding another option to get parade vehicles back. 139 140 Mayor Reinert said he'd hate to see the parade shortened by a third so would appreciate 141 some way to keep it its current length. 142 143 Public Safety staff will begin discussions with Target regarding the establishment of a 144 path. 145 5. West Shadow Lake Drive Project Request for Additional Curb —City 146 Engineer Hankee reviewed her written staff report. As part of a resident information 147 meeting, staff was asked by certain property owners to amend the street construction 148 plans to keep the golf course access open a little longer (until the golf course opens in the 149 spring) and to extend the addition of curb at the south end of the roadway. The extension 150 of curb and would add an additional $28,000 to the project cost (which would come from 151 the closed bond fund). 152 153 The possibility of other non -curbed areas being added was discussed. Staff will 154 approach all those without curbs plan. 155 156 The council concurred with the amendments but directed staff will do the outreach and 157 come forward with a full recommendation for a change order. 158 6. Recreation Complex Discussion —Public Services Director DeGardner read his 159 written staff report. He is providing additional information on cost of the recreation 160 development that was discussed (pickle ball courts, tennis courts, parking lot, trails and 161 landscaping). Staff is identifying two sources that could fill the gap in funding past the 162 budget for this year. 163 164 Council Member Rafferty discussed that the project makes sense in conjunction with 165 other work that will be done in the area (i.e. water tower) but not in the context it being 166 the beginning of an overall buildout of the park. 167 168 Mayor Reinert said he supports a project with the property. He asked about a schedule 169 and Mr. DeGardner said it would make sense in conjunction with the water project, with 170 completion most likely in 2020. Mayor Reinert indicated that there may be additional 171 opportunity and investment coming for a project in this area and so he'd like to continue 172 the discussion at next month's work session.
