Summary

City staff/contractor said excavation for the Trace Creek project is about 99% complete and the building pad remediated; council approved Payment No. 3 by roll-call vote and asked geotechnical questions about soils and parking areas.

A presenter updating the council on the Trace Creek development said the excavation portion is “approximately 99% completed with the excavation portion,” that the building pad has been remediated and stabilized, and that crews hope to dig foundations on Thursday, weather permitting. The presenter added crews have been prepping foundations and tying reinforcing steel in anticipation of pouring concrete.

Council members asked about hauling and replacing bad soil, evaluating parking-lot areas, and the geotechnical checks that will occur as foundations are dug. The council then considered Payment No. 3 for the project; a motion and a second were recorded and a roll-call vote returned affirmative responses. The roll-call recorded 'Yes' responses from attendees during the roll (recorded in the transcript as Cash, Shaq, Autumn, Baldwin, Newsley and Middleton), and the motion to approve Payment No. 3 carried.
