HomeMy WebLinkAboutColleyville Sidewalks Committee-Minutes-2/16/20093. Discussion of the Proposed 2009 Sidewalk Improvement Project
Jeremy Hutt gave a quick review of the current Sidewalk CIP Five-Year Plan, reminding
the Committee that if they decide to request changes to the Five-Year Plan it will have
to go before Council. He provided the Committee with current cost estimates for
Colleyville Terrace, the extension of Beverly Drive, and the original projects slated for
the 2009 budget year. Discussions continued concerning the project selection and the
cost restraints.
Steve Chutchian updated the Committee with an FYI concerning a question Gail Manion
had about escrowed monies for Alianne Estates. He stated that Alianne Estates did
escrow funds for sidewalks, but all their escrowed money was used to fund the
reconstruction of Shelton Drive last year, along with perimeter street fees. In addition,
he stated that staff reviewed all the funds that have been escrowed for sidewalks and
there was nothing else escrowed along Shelton Drive. We did however find one
property along Beverly Drive for around $3000. This escrow may be able to be used
once Council makes a decision on the use of those unallocated escrowed funds.
Jeremy Hutt returned the Committees attention back to the cost estimates and they
reviewed each estimate individually with extensive discussion on each of the possible
projects. Judy Atwood suggested that since Tinker Road is connected to the Pleasant
Run Trail we should move that project to 2011 to match the estimated construction of
the trail. Discussion continued with the Committee's priority list being Colleyville
Terrace as the number one priority; Shelton Road/Hunter Lane extension as number
two; Alianne Estates/Shelton Road as number three; and any funds left over are to be
bid as an added alternate to extend Beverly Drive as far as possible. Steve Chutchian
suggested that we combine priority number two and three as one project and the
Committee agreed. All the other projects will be moved down one year, taking the
Sidewalk CIP priority list to 2013. Judy Atwood made a motion to revise the Sidewalk
CIP priority list for FY2009 with the aforementioned priorities and to present to Council
for their approval. Gail Manion seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.
Debby Abitz questioned when the revisions on the bids would be available. Steve
Chutchian stated that we would probably go out for bids in the first part of May, so we
would not have an actual construction cost at the next scheduled meeting. She also
questioned any additional work that could possible be done if Council approved the use
of the unallocated sidewalk escrows. Steve Chutchian stated if there is additional
escrowed money freed up by Council, we will bid any additional work as a separate
project. Gail Manion requested staff to mail the Committee members information on
any additional funding as soon as it becomes available; with the zones in which it can
be used and the amounts that Council has released. Steve Chutchian agreed.
Gail Manion also stated that she would like the Sidewalk Committee to meet with the
Planning & Zoning Commission to explain their process in establishing the
Supplemental Sidewalk Map; she thought this would give them some insight and help
them become familiar with the workings of the Map. Jeremy Hutt thought that
something could be scheduled with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
