Lockett Shoulders Pulled/Bladed Completion to follow Pleasant Run West Glade Note: Also, City will be using property at Bransford Water Tower to stock pile rock for chip seal work. County will do HMAC work (Quail Run/Pleasant Run) after chip seal work completed (possibly in August). City is also providing flagmen for County work and man power is strained when the County is on several streets at once. Positive feedback from citizens being received. Need motoring public's patience and cooperation until completed. County works 4/10 hour days, off on Fridays and Holidays. Hall Road Elevated Tower- Significant problems with valves and defective plplng appear to have been corrected with piping modifications and a testing revision acceptable to the City. A 2000 pounds plus "Y" section of ductile iron pipe cracked horizontally in the elbow of the pipe. Such has been replaced with an available and acceptable "T" and 450 combination. The required pressure test of 150#/sq. in. was passed after 4 hour period. Elevated Tank flushed and sterilized Wednesday 6/29. Tank is expected to be full by Friday 7/1 and then functionally on line. Failure by contractor to make this critical water weekend may prompt City Manager to ask Council to assess liquidated damages should the City.s system be adversely impacted as a result of this delay. Attached, please find copy of consulting Engi neer' s 1 etter advi sing contractors of the poss i bil ity of the City assessing liquidated damages. L.D. Lockett Drainage Work Bids were set to be opened 6/28. However, none were received. rebid this work ASAP Padding sidewalk work needed for O.C. We wi 11 Taylor Elementary. Sidewalks/O.C. Taylor Elementary City crews plan to begin sidewalk installation the first week of July for the temporary sidewalks. We had initially planned to use asphalt (HMAC) but will go with a chip seal sidewalk (suitable for bike traffic) since cost and time will be lower. We can go back and overlay with (HMAC) if needed later. We will be bidding on concrete work for that portion of permanent sidewalks. See attached plan sheet prepared by Lloyd Wood. Phase I Water Line Plans complete except for trench safety specifications which await Harding Lawson's soil analysis. Final report is expected 7/1/88. After acceptance, data will be incorporated into trench safety design spec's for Phase I and II water line contracts. Big Bear Creek Sewer- Wright construction is to start first week of July. Trench settling from original contractor (beyond scope of Wright Construction repair contract) will require 30 to 40 loads of fill dirt (estimated) before projects can be completed. Projects Schedule- Attached please find a Public Works Project Schedule for the next 3 months work. As you can tell planned projects man power requirements and available man hours will be tight and reduce our ability to meet on going routine requirements andlor new projects. Please be aware of our limitations in this area. 2) SOCCER FIELD SALE Currently the City and School District have an interlocal agreement regarding the use of school property on Pleasant Run for park facilities (i. e., soccer fi e 1 ds) . We have recei ved a request for the Co 11 eyvi 11 e Soccer Association to make some improvements subject to the school I s approval. Attached please fine a copy of my request for the school I S revi ew and approval regardi ng the Soccer Associ ati on I s request. In the meantime, I have received notice that the school, now intends to sell this property. See attached. Should this happen, any City improvements could be futile. At this point, I am awaiting feedback from the school in case they decide to keep the property. Council should keep in mind that, without this facility the Soccer Association will have no suitable public facilities available to meet this strong and growing demand. 3) RULES OF PROCEDURE In response for the need to improve the Counci 1 Meeting procedures, the City Manager has proposed a draft rule of procedure which is a slightly revised version of the City of College Station's. Please find such attached and the existing rules of procedure for your comparison. If Council desires to adopt a revision to the existing rul es of procedure pl ease 1 et me know as such wi 11 be pl aced on the next agenda. Should I receive no feed back, I will presume Council is satisfied with the existing rules of procedure and/or is not interest in the proposed revisions. 4) BUILDER'S CONFERENCE '89 To improve communication between the builder's and the City's code enforcement function, we plan to invite Colleyville Builders and Contractors to the first annual joint conference with the City's administration. This meeting is tentatively planned for the first of January '89 during the builder's slow period. Hopefully, such a meeting will improve our effectiveness to serve the builders while protecting the public and honoring the City's ordinances. 5) CONSTRUCTION WORK ON WEEK ENDS As you will recall, City Code limits construction work to weekdays only. We interpreted such to exclude work on Saturday and Sunday. However, local builder Bud Davis correctly advised the administration that Websters I Dictionary defines a weekday as "any day of the week except Sunday". Thus we corrected our i nterpretati on to allow work on Saturday, within noise and nuisance limits already within the City Code. Be reminded no citations have yet been issued regarding this portion of the code. Mr. Davis felt that a builder should not have noisy work in progress on a Sunday and felt he would have no problems with the City's interpretation. 6) BRANSFORD TOWER OVERFLOW Reoccurred on June 26 adversely affecting Dave Bley a nearby resident. We have again requested correction by TRA and plan to construct an overflow ditch to prevent this from reoccurring. Scheduled activities have delayed commencement of this work. 7) BUDGET Current work loads continue to delay budget preparation. However, plans to present draft the last of July, work permitting. 8) TMC UTILITY UPDATE Please find update attached. 9) NOV 205 TIMBERLINE Was issued for a nuisance security light. Owner plans to comply, however feels neighbors are likewise guilty of noncompliance in their areas. City will respond accordingly if a complaint is received. 10) IMPACT FEE CALCULATIONS As requested the City Manager has contacted Parsons Brinkerhoff regarding revising the calculation affecting impact fees. Initial estimates would cost from $10,000 for a basic recalculation to $15,000 for recalculation with a model indicating calculation options. Randy Hankamer of CLRNC (consultant for the '87 Master Plan) is to send a proposal to update the Master Plan as may be necessary to revise densities as needed to obtain an acceptable impact fee. Please let me know if you would like to schedule a work session with either or both consultants to di scuss what is needed by when and for how much. 11) SEMINAR-SENATE BILL 336 The City Manager is planning to attend a seminar discussing Senate Bi 11 336, July 28-29, 1988 in San Antoni o. Any Council interested in attending this seminar please notify the City Manager prior to July 11th. 12) WATER WELL PERMIT Attached please find a list of water well permits issued from October 1987 thru June 24, 1988. 13) CHEEK SPARGER ROAD According to an article in the July issue of the Star Telegram, Cheek Sparger Road has been approved for reconstruction within the next 5 years as a part of the PASS program. With 6.3 million approved, this project appears to be the 3rd largest of the 17 listed. Billie Hardie of the Texas Highway Department was unavailable for comment Friday.
