She was asked to contact the YMCA to see if they would like to join in a project and she 166 is checking with them. A low quote, funding and schedule were reviewed. 167 Mayor Rafferty asked what area is included. Ms. Hankee said it includes the drive to the doors, the 168 parking lot and the back of the lot by the Public Safety Department. 169 Council Member Stoesz asked if there can be more parking allowed (through striping) to accommodate 170 the many people who drop off at the day care center. Ms. Hankee said that staff did review striping 171 and found that t he way it is currently designed doesn’t leave much room for modification. There will 172 be an additional handicap parking spot on the north end of the lot. The front striping will remain the 173 same. 174 Council Member Cavegn asked if this should be delayed with less traffic at City Hall. Ms. Hankee 175 explained that staff has been trying to get the project going for several years and it fits into the overall 176 program this year; there is concern in delaying infrastructure projects and funding is in place currently 177 for the project. She added that a low traffic period is a good time for this type of project. 178 Public Services Director DeGardner remarked that this project could add another five to seven years to 179 the existing surface; otherwise a full mill and overlay may be required as early as next year. 180 Mayor Rafferty discussed timing and asked about the identified contractor. Ms. Hankee said they have 181 a good record. 182 Council Member Stoesz moved to approve Resolution No. 20-39 as presented. Council Member 183 Lyden seconded the motion.

If approved, 189 the trail extension project planned would be covered up to 80%. He explained how the remainder is 190 planned to be funded. An extension of this trail would provide a good addition on the north side of the 191 city and he has received letters of support that will be submitted with the application.
