No objections. Motion carried. A list of projects for next year's CIP program was presented to the CIP Committee for consideration. The projects listed were considered to be of higher priority than others in the 1994 Bond Package, due to various factors (traffic volume, grant funds, flood control, etc.). Upon completion of the meeting, the list contained the following projects: Rufe Snow Drive (IH 820 to WataugaRd.), Rufe Snow Drive Bridge @ IH 820, Rufe Snow Drive/Glenview Dr. Intersection, Rufe Snow Drive (Marilyn Ln. to IH 820), Calloway Branch Channel Improvements A (Windhaven Ct. to Hightower Dr.), Calloway Branch Channel Improvements B (Hightower Dr. to Chapman Dr.), Hightower Drive (Sections AI, A2, B, C, D), Maplewood Avenue (Laurel Ln. To Davis Blvd.), and Crane Road (Martin Rd. to Amundson Rd.). Total cost $9,353.435. It was noted that this list totals well over the limit of $6,000,000 for an annual General Obligation Bond Sale. The Committee agreed the sale could be held to the limit because all the projects included in the 1995196 CIP would not be constructed in 1995/96. Engineering and right-of- way acquisition could be accomplished probably on all with a large part of construction begun. The CIP Committee recommended staff take the list to Council for approval. An expenditure versus budget summary of the 1995 Overlay Program was presented to the Committee, which showed a savings of approximately $160,000. Staff explained that with this savings three additional streets could be asphalt milled and overlaid: North Richland Blvd. (Crestwood Circle West to Davis Blvd.), Lariat Trail (Meadow Lakes Dr. to Riviera Dr.) and Richland Plaza (Billie Faye Dr. to SH 26). The Committee approved the addition of these 3 streets and also requested that Hewitt Street (from Briardale Dr. to Meadow Rd.) be included. This should be presented to Council for formal action.

The firm, project name and estimated maximum fee amount was presented to the Committee for review. After discussion with Staff, it was the recommendation of the Committee to proceed with the 3 engineering firms as presented, but negotiate costs further. Staff was also instructed that on the Teakwood Court project to include review of the flooding in the backyards of those homes on the south side of Teakwood Court to the east of where the existing flume is located. Staff should present this information to Council for formal action. A report showing the value of the CIP Projects which were final paid in fiscal years 1993/94 and 1994/95, and proposed total for 1995/96 was presented to the Committee. The property owner at 6805 North Park Drive had requested the drainage problem in their backyard be presented to the CIP Committee for consideration. Staff explained that this problem can be seen elsewhere along the block. It was also explained that this type of drainage problem is usually compounded by the homeowner landscaping the side yards. It was the decision of the Committee that this is the homeowners responsibility, and not the City's. Mr. Anderson expressed to the Committee his concern for pedestrians walking or bicycling along Crane Road. The construction on Precinct Line Road and Cardinal Lane at Martin Drive has diverted additional motor vehicles onto Crane Road, which is currently a bar ditch road, without sidewalks. He said the traffic had increased greatly, and wanted the Committee to be made aware of a potentially dangerous situation. The Committee proposed that Crane Road be added to the 1995/96 Street and Drainage CIP. The consensus was that not all projects on the list will get built in 1995/96, but at least all the engineering for the projects would be completed and ROW acquisition begun. Staff was also instructed to talk with the Police Department about additional atrol covera e in that area. ·HWA"()TÌÔÑ" Greg Dickensl Mike Curtis No Action No Action Required Greg Dickensl Mike Curtis Minutes of ClP Meeting 8/07/95 Paf?e 3 of 3
