Board approves drive‑through work — contingent on written layout to verify queuing improvement

The Board of Public Works and Safety discussed and approved a contractor quote to extend a drive‑through approach at a city site, but conditioned the approval on receiving and approving a written layout or drawing showing the proposed construction engineering and layout.

Board members and the site representative debated whether the proposed extension would provide enough additional queuing to avoid blocking adjacent circulation. One board member said the packet's layout was "real rough" and asked that a field layout or drawing be produced and returned for approval so the board could verify how many additional cars the extension would actually accommodate before mobilization.

City staff (who noted coordination with Chris Jackson) agreed to require a written plan/drawing. The board moved to approve the quote contingent on later approval of the written layout; the motion passed unanimously. Board members said they want staff to verify flagged field markers and to walk the site with contractors before work begins.

The condition is intended to ensure that the expenditure will resolve the operational problem — limited approach room and customers having difficulty accessing the window — rather than simply increasing pavement without addressing the core circulation issue. Staff will return a written layout for board approval prior to allowing mobilization.
