To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6167, a <br />20 Resolution Approving the Contract Award for the County Road H Sidewalk Project With Option <br />21 Two From Silver Lake Road to the Western City Limits in the Amount of $321,911.17 to <br />22 O'Malley Construction. <br />• 23 <br />24 Angela Olson of 5046 Longview Drive indicated she does not think the sidewalk is worth the <br />25 cost but, if it is going forward she thinks it is silly to just go to Silver Lake Road because it <br />26 requires the kids to cross Silver Lake Road twice. She then said that she does not want her <br />27 shrubs to go but, if they have to go she wants it to be for a sidewalk that makes sense. She <br />28 further commented that doing the sidewalk like this creates more of a hazard than already exists. <br />29 <br />3o Mayor Linke indicated that this option is the only option before Council due to previous Council <br />31 action. <br />32 <br />33 Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />34 <br />35 Mayor Linke indicated he voted for this because a little sidewalk is better than none. <br />36 <br />37 Council Member Marty asked whether the traffic counts would be great enough on Silver Lake <br />38 Road to get a light on H and Silver Lake Road. <br />39 <br />4o Public Works Director Lee indicated he would look into it with Dan Solar from the County. He <br />41 then explained they are working with the School District and the District is sending out surveys <br />42 to walkers north of H to see how they get to school. <br />43 <br />1~ ~ <br />u <br />
