MEMORANDUM
liver
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phil Hals, Street Superintendent
DATE: September 13, 2010
SUBJECT: Public Works Site Master Plan Update
On August 31, 2010, City Councilmember Matt Westgaard and City staff members Rodney
Schreifels, Mark Thompson, and Phil Hals met with SEH design team members Gayle
Mack, Jon Halter, and John Rodenberg to discuss preliminary site designs for a Public
Works facility expansion.
The most important question - Is this the best location for a Public Works facility for the
long term?
Items that were discussed axe as follows:
• Our existing site offers many challenges to design a facility that is sized fox our
community at our eventual build out.
• The advantages that this site offers are a central geographic location, city sewer and
water, and city owned property.
• The disadvantages are angled and irregular property lines and numerous wetlands.
• Some of the necessities for a fully functional facility are proper sized buildings, a
surrounding yard area that has room for equipment maneuvering and traffic flow,
and a material storage yard.
As various options were discussed, it became clear that there are two key issues that need to
be addressed if the existing site is going to work fox the long term. The first issue is the
compost site. Should the site stay close in location with the Public Works facility? Is there
other City property that could be adapted fox a compost drop off? Some properties that
could be considered are: Woodland Trails Park, Hillside Park, and the sludge land on 165'
Street and Jarvis Avenue. The second issue is the Oak Knoll Athletic Fields. Could one or
more of the fields be relocated so that the site could be used for the Public Works building?
Staff will be on hand fox Monday's meeting to discuss these items and seek council guidance
on the site location before our next session with the SEH planners.
