Summary

Ray Mayo told the committee the detention pond project with the City of Pasadena is roughly 85% complete and progress suggests a July or August substantial completion instead of the October contract date, weather permitting.

The committee heard an update on the 100-Acre Cliff detention pond, a joint project with the City of Pasadena, and staff reported the work is substantially ahead of schedule.

"It's gonna probably be July or August for substantial completion on the pond," Ray Mayo said, noting that the contractor's contract time listed October but progress has accelerated. Mayo added that weather is the principal remaining risk to the timeline and that crews are progressing quickly when conditions are favorable.

Committee members asked about traffic control and truck mud on adjacent roadways; one committee member said eastbound traffic was being stopped while westbound traffic remained open, and raised concern about slick conditions after rain that have reportedly contributed to roadside incidents at Louella and Brookwood intersections. Mayo and staff said they would monitor the site and coordinate on any needed street cleaning or sweeping following rain events.

No formal action was taken at the meeting on the detention-pond update; staff will continue to monitor contractor progress and return with updates as needed.
