MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH:
Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM:
Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE:
April 25, 2023
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2023-31 — Municipal Roadway Improvements
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's approval to reallocate funding within the
Municipal Roadway Improvements Capital Project Fund to allow several projects to bid and
ultimately be completed this year.
The Public Works Department is requesting to reallocate previously appropriated funds from the
Lilac Street Reconstruction project and supplement the funding for the North Willow Street
Roadway Improvements, First Avenue Roadway Repairs, and Miscellaneous Road Repairs
Capital Projects.
Nelson Engineering has been developing the construction documents for these projects and
they are nearing completion. The North Willow project extends from the intersection with
Granite Pointe St. to just beyond the Forestry Service lot adjacent to Airport Operations. The
First Avenue project repairs are taking place between the intersections of North Spruce and
Birch St. The Miscellaneous Road Repairs project sites include the intersections of Haller and
Fourth Avenue, Watergate and Pirate Lane, Watergate and Schooner Circle, Watergate and Set
Net Drive, VIP Drive and Set Net Drive, VIP Drive and Dollar Drive, Eagle Rock Drive and Tern
Place, Eagle Rock Drive and Sandpiper Lane, and Silver Salmon and King Salmon Drive.
The Lilac Street project will continue to move forward with new funding being provided with the
adoption of the FY2024 budget, which will provide $100,000 to allow design and survey efforts
to begin later this summer. The existing funding within the project will be reallocated with
$160,000 towards the North Willow St. project, $100,000 towards First Avenue, and $133,000
toward the Miscellaneous Repairs.
Completion of these projects is in the best interest of the City. Council's support is respectfully
requested.
