Public works reports improved Rock Creek intake flow; permits and a paused redesign remain
Summary
Public Works Director Cody Rosander said divers cleared silt and gravel from the Rock Creek intake increasing flows; permits for a replacement intake are pending, a Grayline Engineering redesign is paused, and electrical equipment problems may result in legal action.
Public Works Director Cody Rosander updated the council on multiple water and parks matters. Divers discovered and cleared silt and gravel blockages at the Rock Creek intake, which increased water flow; Rosander said he is continuing to pursue permits for a permanent intake replacement and has paused a redesign with Grayline Engineering while resolving related issues.
Rosander also reported problems with electrical equipment on the project that may prompt legal action. Separately, he outlined arborist recommendations aimed at prolonging the life of a declining walnut tree at Walnut Park. The council did not take immediate action but asked staff to continue permitting and design work and to return with updates.
