Committee delays action on Westlake emergency exit, seeks easements and Cochran proposals
Summary
Staff reported attorney outreach to property owners for required easements; the committee agreed to wait for easement responses and updated Cochran cost proposals that will compare rock vs. asphalt options and include design/surveying requirements before deciding.
The committee received an update on the Westlake emergency-exit design and related alley repairs and agreed to hold further action until property-easement status and updated consultant proposals are available.
Mister Rubin said attorney Jones sent letters to two property owners on Oct. 15 but had not yet received responses; staff will attempt further outreach. Rubin recommended combining work on the Westlake emergency exit with the Hawthorne access proposal so Cochran could provide two cost options—one using rock and one using asphalt—and an updated design and survey package.
Members emphasized standard public-works practice: design and surveying are needed before soliciting construction bids, particularly to identify drainage needs and potential temporary construction easements. The committee tabled the item for the next operations meeting pending easement replies and Cochran’s updated proposals.
Next steps: staff to secure easements and request Cochran submit two design-and-cost proposals for committee review.
