Summary

Engineering staff told council that the Wall Street Sewer Extension is roughly three-quarters complete and expected to finish the sewer portion in about 1.5–2 months; Burns Road sidewalk planning will require stormwater work, which the engineer said would be 100% a city cost.

Engineering staff updated the council on two capital projects.

Engineer Schneider said the Wall Street Sewer Extension has encountered difficult soils that slowed the contractor; he estimated the sewer portion is about three-quarters complete and suggested another month to two months to finish the sewer work before restoration and resurfacing can proceed.

On Burns Road, Engineer Snyder said the city is preparing requests for proposals and expects to hire consultants to study the roadway. He told the council that stormwater improvements are likely necessary and that any stormwater-related costs would be 100% the responsibility of the city. Snyder emphasized that the stormwater scope is still being determined and cost estimates are not yet available.

Both updates were informational; council members asked follow-up questions and staff said they would return with details as consultant work and design progress.
