Council hears plan for brick-paver pathway across dam; engineering, emergency access concerns raised
Summary
City staff described a donor-preferred brick-paver pathway across the dam and said engineering review is required because the route can be used by emergency vehicles; grants recently applied for were not awarded and councilors discussed including engineering costs on a future agenda.
City staff described a proposed replacement of the pathway across the dam, noting donors prefer brick pavers and that engineering is needed because the path may serve as an alternate route for emergency vehicles.
Director of Public Works Don Grice explained pavement-type options and associated risks and additional costs for each. Councilor Brad Dick said the pathway should be engineered as a road because it can function as an alternate emergency route, a point staff said will affect design and cost estimates. Glass said grant applications had been submitted but were not awarded.
Councilors discussed approximate material costs and the bid process and indicated the City would consider covering engineering expenses and place the engineering item on a future meeting agenda. No motion or vote to authorize construction or funding occurred at the special meeting.
