MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 2023
1. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Touchett at 5:17pm.
2. Roll Call: Present: Evan Touchett, Mara Helmke. Rye Kimmett entered at 5:20pm. Also present: Theran Jacobson,
Director of Public Works; Carla Fischer, City Engineer, AECOM.
3. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Helmke, to approve the minutes of the December 19, 2022, meeting of the
Public Works/Sewer and Water Committee. Motion carried 2-0.
4. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Helmke, to recommend approving Revision 1 to Public Works Policy PW-003
– Rain Barrel Rebate. Motion carried 3-0.
5. DISCUSSION regarding 2023-101 Asphaltic Street Project.
Jacobson requests as part of the 2023 rehab project to remove the four (4) islands at the intersection at
Enterprise Drive and Silent Street. The islands were not designed properly to allow passage of winter
maintenance vehicles and they are constantly being maintained for plow damage every year. The islands do not
include a pedestrian refuge. One of the many purposes of islands is to create separation from bi-directional
traffic. Touchett notes the islands are distracting and are more points of conflict to look at within the
intersection. Removing the islands will open the vision of the intersection. Helmke noted that she has no
concerns with removing the islands. Kimmett noted she has no concerns if the pedestrian cross walks are re-
established. Jacobson noted the intersection will be re-stripped to include all the pedestrian crosswalks and stop
bars at all four approaches.
MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Kimmett, to recommend proceeding with 2023-101 Asphaltic Street Project
as presented with removal of islands at Enterprise Dr and Silent Street. Motion carried 3-0.
6. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Helmke, to adjourn at 5:27pm. Motion carried 3-0.
Note: These minutes were prepared by Theran Jacobson, Director of Public Works. These minutes are based
on the notes of the recorder and are subject to change at a subsequent meeting.

PW/S&W Committee Memo
Public Works/Sewer & Water Committee
Listed below is an explanation of the items on the Public Works/Sewer & Water Committee
agenda.
Item (4) Revision 1 to Public Works Policy PW-003 – Rain Barrel rebate.
PW-003 rain barrel rebate policy was approved in August of 2022. Revision 1 includes the
reimbursement form and a clean up of language within the policy for clarity of whom is eligible
and identifying the cost.
A tracked changed version of the policy and a clean version with reimbursement request is
included.
Item (5) 2023-101 Asphaltic Rehabilitation project.
Staff has prepared the 2023 asphaltic street rehabilitation project plans. This is an annual
maintenance program. During the budget process streets are identified but as the year
continues this program evolves and certain street conditions can change. In December staff
evaluated the streets listed for 2023 and 2024 which were Jenna Drive and Westridge Parkway,
local residential streets. As a survey concluded of other streets Enterprise Drive was identified
of greater need due to pavement condition and higher classification of road as a collector. Staff
is working within the program budget.
Staff has included the draft plans of Enterprise Drive for reference to identify the limits, W.
Verona Avenue to approximately 400-feet north of the Silent Street intersection.
Staff would also like to discuss the removal of the landscaping islands at the intersection of
Enterprise Drive and Silent Street. A figure is included with the packet of this intersection for
reference.
