Stonebridge cache site scrutiny after culvert inspection suggests major repairs
Summary
An inspection near Stonebridge raised possible culvert/pipe failures that could affect a planned cache site; an HOA-supplied report estimated $200,000–$250,000 in work, and the city engineer will inspect the site to confirm impacts.
Committee members reviewed an HOA report that raised concerns about a culvert/pipe near the proposed Stonebridge cache site and whether repairs would affect the planned location.
Speaker 2 said an HOA member "went down to our culvert up by that logging road nearby" and reported the pipe was broken; a company inspection suggested extensive work with an estimated cost of "200 to 250,000." Speaker 2 said they sent the report to the city attorney and expect the city engineer to inspect the site the next day to determine whether the issue will prevent using the site.
The city attorney's initial reaction (as described by Speaker 2) was that the problem "shouldn't impact the site," but additional inspection and a second company’s assessment were pending. Speaker 2 noted the underlying reserve study for the HOA had not been done recently, which complicated the situation and led to the delayed detection.
No formal action was taken; committee members asked Speaker 2 to report back after the city engineer’s site visit. Speaker 1 asked whether budgeted funds might be used to start supplies before the year-end budget runs out; Speaker 2 said timing depends on the engineer's assessment and that more would be known by Christmas/January.
Next steps: city engineer on-site inspection (expected the following day) and a report back to the committee; Speaker 2 will bring any finalized HOA/MOU language and recommendations in January.
