MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH:
Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM:
Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE:
May 10, 2023
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2023-37 — Reallocation of Capital Project Funds
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's authorization to reallocate funds from within the
Municipal Roadway Improvements Capital Project Fund and redirect that funding into a new
project, the S. Spruce St. Bypass Lane, which the Public Works Department is intending to
complete with department staff.
This funding was provided from a Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic
Development (DCCED) existing grant 15-DC-078 to be used in support of the Personal Use
Fishery. This bypass lane is intended to reduce wait times for individuals traveling S. Spruce St.
that either already have purchased their pass or are local traffic not in need of purchasing a pass.
This new bypass lane is approximately 300' in length, 15' in width, and is only intended to be used
for traffic during the fishery from July 10th-315t annually. Staff will remove all organic materials
down to sand/gravel and establish a new elevated gravel base, crowned for drainage in the
location indicated below.
Work is anticipated to be completed prior to the start of the fishery and is expected to cost less
than $50,000 with any remaining funds being returned to be used toward other Personal Use
Fishery related projects. Completion of this work will improve the user experience for the fishery
by reducing wait times and will assist the City by limiting the need for the Police Department to
manage traffic overflow backing up onto the Spur Highway.
Completion of this work is in the best interest of the City, Council's approval is respectfully
requested.
