City updates: Columbus Street ribbon cutting, street-bid opening, wastewater and park schedules
Summary
Staff said Columbus Street landscaping will be seeded in 2–3 weeks with a possible ribbon cutting; the street-improvements bid opening is April 22 at the Municipal Building; wastewater expansion remains on schedule and J.R. Smith Park is in demolition.
Carla gave brief updates on several projects. She said Columbus Street mulching and plantings are nearly complete, with grass seeding expected in the next two to three weeks and a proposed ribbon cutting once seeding establishes. "I believe we can probably have [the ribbon cutting] finalized in the next 2 to 3 weeks," she said.
Carla announced the street improvements bid opening is scheduled for April 22 at the Municipal Building at 2 p.m. She reported no update on the wastewater treatment plant expansion schedule, saying the project remains "still on schedule." On J.R. Smith Park, she said demolition is underway and parks staff expect to share more schedule details with the parks committee next month.
Separately, public works staff notified the committee that a future capital-improvement-plan revision may propose swapping three previously approved items (a pickup truck, a compact trailer and a sidewalk brush, budgeted at about $90,000) for an $88,000 tracked skid steer to add operational versatility. Staff said the swap would be brought back as a formal budget revision for committee consideration; no decision was requested at the meeting.
The meeting adjourned after routine motions; the committee recorded roll-call approval for adjournment.
