Council updates: Labelon Boulevard Phase 2 work, stabilization bids and stormwater ordinance revisions
Summary
City staff reported initial work and short shutdowns on Labelon Boulevard Phase 2 with ODOT coordination, said Phase 2 bids open Friday for a stabilization project, and noted staff is updating a stormwater ordinance; a separate exchange covered job postings for union and HR roles.
Presiding Officer (unnamed) briefed the council on several infrastructure and administrative items, beginning with construction on Labelon Boulevard Phase 2.
"This morning, that notice for the work on Labelon Boulevard Phase 2... They got the initial work started," the Presiding Officer said, noting repairs to optical equipment under the I-91 bridge will require a short shutdown and lane closures with an expected two days of concrete work before reopening. Staff will provide a detour plan and is "working with ODOT" to minimize traffic impacts.
On a separate project, the Presiding Officer said Phase 1 reconstruction has a meeting next week and Phase 2 bids are scheduled to open Friday; several landholders expect the revised design will attract competitive bids. The Presiding Officer also said staff (working with Randy and Mr. Mann) is updating a stormwater ordinance and hoped it would be advanced this year.
In administrative business, a councilmember asked whether the posted positions included a union role and noted a separate administrative HR posting; they said they would forward a recently passed posting for staff action. Brief remarks about unit rates and coordination with staff (mentions of Julie/Judy) closed the administrative updates.
No formal votes were recorded on construction contracts or the ordinance update in the transcript segment provided; staff follow-up and formal agenda items are expected for procurement and ordinance adoption steps.
