If you do 00:00:40.373 --> 00:00:47.013 - have if you are a member of the public and have public comment on any of the items that are on tonight's 00:00:47.013 --> 00:00:53.527 - agenda when those come up please use the raise hand function and we will unmute your mic and allow you 00:00:53.527 --> 00:00:58.270 - your time for public comment which will be for three minutes this evening. 00:00:58.882 --> 00:01:05.602 - Without further ado, I will turn it over to board president Elizabeth Carone and Thank you so much. 00:01:05.602 --> 00:01:12.389 - Thank you, Adam. Good evening everyone and welcome to The Board of Public Works meeting for Tuesday, 00:01:12.389 --> 00:01:19.445 - May 19th that I will call to order first We have messages from board members any messages from the board 00:01:19.445 --> 00:01:26.299 - for me Next we'll go straight to title six abatements and we have a request for abatement at 420 East 00:01:26.299 --> 00:01:27.038 - 6th Street 00:01:34.946 --> 00:01:41.990 - per Bloomington municipal code six point zero six point zero to zero it is unlawful for any person to 00:01:41.990 --> 00:01:48.895 - throw place or scatter any garbage materials other private public or private or to suffer or permit 00:01:48.895 --> 00:01:55.870 - any garbage etc to be placed or deposited on the premises without the intent to remove cover burn it 00:01:56.386 --> 00:02:04.080 - So beginning this particular property at 420 East 6th Street has been in and out of compliance for a 00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:11.851 - period of time. The most recent stretch of noncompliance began around February 20th and has continued 00:02:11.851 --> 00:02:19.621 - on and I believe it is now the property is now in compliance and cleaned up. However we are still the 00:02:19.621 --> 00:02:25.182 - city is still seeking a continuous abatement for trash on this property. 00:02:25.282 --> 00:02:33.660 - given the length of the issues and the continuous nature of the noncompliance. Thank you. Sorry I'll 00:02:33.660 --> 00:02:42.204 - just jump in real quick here as well. We've been I've been in conversation with the property owner Mr. 00:02:42.204 --> 00:02:49.918 - Khan over the last month or so about different issues with the trash at the property. We are 00:02:50.018 --> 00:02:56.247 - Likely to try to figure out a way for a private hauler to service this property instead of our city 00:02:56.247 --> 00:03:02.538 - sanitation services And we'll be working on that over the next couple weeks. There's some challenges 00:03:02.538 --> 00:03:08.767 - with this property in particular the number of bedrooms the amount of waste that gets generated and 00:03:08.767 --> 00:03:14.622 - how It's just really tight site to get our trash to get the trash carts out to the street and 00:03:14.818 --> 00:03:20.530 - Monday morning that's a Monday morning pick up that tended to be a problem for this address and so and 00:03:20.530 --> 00:03:26.131 - to get all eight carts placed. So we're going to be looking at some other solutions into the future. 00:03:26.131 --> 00:03:31.732 - We are going to request that you do approve the abatement tonight for the next calendar year just in 00:03:31.732 --> 00:03:37.277 - case we do have any issues in the future. But we will either be coming back to the board or working 00:03:37.277 --> 00:03:43.156 - with city legal and sanitation staff on likely setting up an arrangement where we would approve a private 00:03:43.156 --> 00:03:44.542 - hauler for this address. 00:03:44.962 --> 00:03:50.938 - On top of that we probably will work with the two other addresses a couple other addresses right there. 00:03:50.938 --> 00:03:56.742 - This is the section between basically room simple spoon and Dunn Street. There's three large rentals 00:03:56.742 --> 00:04:02.488 - there that generate a large amount of trash and volume. So I was working with Brawley property with 00:04:02.488 --> 00:04:07.890 - one of the other addresses yesterday on a cleanup that we needed. So we're going to have some 00:04:07.890 --> 00:04:13.406 - more conversation about this specific zone of four properties that we'll be looking to address. 00:04:13.890 --> 00:04:19.937 - But yeah we do request the approval of the abatement for now. We also have the neighborhood compliance 00:04:19.937 --> 00:04:25.985 - officer who issued the citations here if you have any specific questions. All right. Thank you. Is the 00:04:25.985 --> 00:04:31.856 - property owner here. Would you like to say anything sir. We do have the letter that you included in 00:04:31.856 --> 00:04:37.786 - the packet. So thank you for that. We sent you a letter stating and it seemed like it's in works now 00:04:37.786 --> 00:04:42.718 - and we would like to have a private holler and we will have more control over that. 00:04:43.010 --> 00:04:52.438 - So this particular set of tenants that we had this last year were really not, you know, at noncompliance 00:04:52.438 --> 00:05:01.417 - height of that. It was the worst situation. So we did six or more haulings ourselves, but then they 00:05:01.417 --> 00:05:08.062 - thought that it is our job, that they just completely dropped everything. 00:05:08.418 --> 00:05:15.413 - you know that, and then tickers start to accumulate, and we try to tell them that this is not our job, 00:05:15.413 --> 00:05:22.204 - you need to put the trash in the bins and all that, but it was completely lack of commitment of any 00:05:22.204 --> 00:05:28.995 - sort from them. It has been a problem, but this year was the worst, about the worst. So now that we 00:05:28.995 --> 00:05:36.126 - would like to have, I mean, it's in the works, we have a private hauler, and then we have total control. 00:05:36.514 --> 00:05:44.090 - power of the purse, and I will wield a lot more control over that thing. And we want to live, O'Neill 00:05:44.090 --> 00:05:51.963 - is my friend, I eat there all the time, I apologize to him all the time, and he said, yeah, I understand, 00:05:51.963 --> 00:05:59.985 - and all that. He's been very nice about it, but I don't want that. We just take pictures and pass pictures, 00:05:59.985 --> 00:06:05.630 - me and my person, Dave, we have been doing that, and we did our utter best, 00:06:05.730 --> 00:06:12.509 - But this time it was pretty bad. So anyway, we hope this this will be resolved from here on They are 00:06:12.509 --> 00:06:19.557 - gone for the summer. We will take care of everything. There's a lot of damage inside the property You're 00:06:19.557 --> 00:06:26.269 - gonna fix all that and then bring everything in compliance. So that's the goal. Thank you very much 00:06:26.269 --> 00:06:32.981 - There are questions from the board Just a couple Adam. This isn't this property isn't automatically 00:06:32.981 --> 00:06:33.854 - eligible for 00:06:34.146 --> 00:06:39.399 - Because it's what four or less units is that right? And exceptions so that rule does that do this have 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:44.755 - to come back to the board? Where I need to go back through city code on that one? I think the sanitation 00:06:44.755 --> 00:06:50.008 - director has the ability to grant that I don't know if Taylor was here to answer that or not I believe 00:06:50.008 --> 00:06:55.261 - it can be approved at the sanitation director level and then if if it's denied at that level I believe 00:06:55.261 --> 00:07:00.515 - they can appeal to the board. I honestly haven't been through it in a few years This just came up this 00:07:00.515 --> 00:07:03.422 - afternoon again. I haven't had a chance. No, that's fine 00:07:03.522 --> 00:07:11.786 - And then just clarification already know the answer. But for those at home if we were to approve the 00:07:11.786 --> 00:07:20.049 - abatement is an approval to potentially do the work. Yes it's not a requirement that we do the work. 00:07:20.049 --> 00:07:28.477 - So the property stays clean. We never have to go on the property whenever incurring expenses. And then 00:07:28.477 --> 00:07:30.686 - a year later it goes away. 00:07:30.850 --> 00:07:37.212 - Correct. Just because we have the abatement does not mean we have to use it. This is simply just in 00:07:37.212 --> 00:07:43.957 - case. And I assume before you theoretically might use the abatement you would contact the property owner. 00:07:43.957 --> 00:07:50.510 - Generally that is best practice is to let them know hey the trash is coming. So our people are coming. 00:07:50.510 --> 00:07:57.063 - But no I should clarify there's no formal notice required but general common courtesy we let them know 00:07:57.063 --> 00:07:58.654 - we're coming. Thank you. 00:08:00.706 --> 00:08:08.291 - All right, any questions from the public comment on this item? Anyone on Zoom? You may use the raise 00:08:08.291 --> 00:08:16.177 - hand function or chat.

We're ensuring 00:13:22.603 --> 00:13:23.454 - that they're 00:13:23.682 --> 00:13:30.729 - Working directly with all the necessary partners They have agreed that local access would be maintained 00:13:30.729 --> 00:13:37.504 - for all the residents that are adjacent to that proper project site And we have some other projects 00:13:37.504 --> 00:13:44.280 - that would potentially conflict if we were to push this out So they know that they have to stick to 00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:51.733 - this timeline pretty stringently Thank you questions from the board Just to reiterate some work conversations 00:13:51.733 --> 00:13:53.630 - during the work session the 00:13:55.810 --> 00:14:03.080 - Detour signage would include instructions for people wanting to enter the park I will double check on 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:10.422 - that but that's typically what we advise great and the again For those that weren't here yesterday the 00:14:10.422 --> 00:14:17.764 - aren't aware of the trail line power line trail project to give a very brief explanation of where that 00:14:17.764 --> 00:14:19.902 - trail is and where it goes to 00:14:20.738 --> 00:14:28.089 - Yeah I'll handle that one too. The power line trails has been something that's been in the works between 00:14:28.089 --> 00:14:35.299 - Parks and Rec and mayor's office and many departments for some time now where a planned trail has been 00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:42.370 - planned for west of Rogers towards Weimer Road through what is north of the RCA Park and such and it 00:14:42.370 --> 00:14:44.190 - will kind of parallel the 00:14:44.450 --> 00:14:51.418 - transmission lines from Duke Energy Over towards what will be the new Sudbury development with that's 00:14:51.418 --> 00:14:58.387 - got that planned unit development approved So a nice connecting trail from switch yard park basically 00:14:58.387 --> 00:15:05.219 - to the west towards Weimer Great. Thank you. I Do just have one question The staff report says that 00:15:05.219 --> 00:15:10.206 - the closure is during normal construction hours. Well the closure become 00:15:10.786 --> 00:15:17.974 - 24 hours or will it be open in the evening? So that's all that's completely on me. So we're toying around 00:15:17.974 --> 00:15:24.958 - with templates to make these a little bit more consistent in their presentations. So the closure would 00:15:24.958 --> 00:15:31.875 - be 24 hours continuous. The work itself would be taking place during normal construction hours. Okay. 00:15:31.875 --> 00:15:39.198 - That's helpful. Thank you. Thank you. Any public comment on this item. I don't see any raised hands online. 00:15:40.066 --> 00:15:47.846 - All right. Is there a motion? I move we approve the right of way closure requests for the city of Bloomington 00:15:47.846 --> 00:15:55.060 - Parks and Recreation at South Rogers for the power line trail project. I second. I will call the roll 00:15:55.060 --> 00:16:02.204 - Roach. I grown I motion passes. Next is the right of way closure request for Centerpoint Energy Kyle 00:16:02.204 --> 00:16:09.630 - ball engineering once again Centerpoints requesting a temporary closure East Woodstock place. I'm sorry. 00:16:09.858 --> 00:16:16.832 - High street adjacent to East Woodstock place to accommodate a service replacement of gas lines This 00:16:16.832 --> 00:16:23.876 - is anticipated be one to two day closure and it would be During normal construction hours So this is 00:16:23.876 --> 00:16:31.198 - being proposed because there is no detour for the sidewalk to go across the street there for pedestrians 00:16:31.198 --> 00:16:38.382 - to go across the street there so we are requesting the closure in order to move those folks around the 00:16:38.382 --> 00:16:39.358 - work site and 00:16:39.682 --> 00:16:48.777 - Safely and on that same side of the road there As part of a guided diversion that Centerpoint would 00:16:48.777 --> 00:16:58.144 - be Utilizing so the plan for this is to occur in the first week of June They've been made aware of how 00:16:58.144 --> 00:17:07.966 - leery we are of this location and just how important it is We had a couple of closures that came up in this 00:17:08.194 --> 00:17:16.347 - Six months or so that we're in the same location. So lessons learned there, but things have gone pretty 00:17:16.347 --> 00:17:24.265 - well Thank you questions from the board Used a term that I'm not familiar with guided diversion, can 00:17:24.265 --> 00:17:32.418 - you Explain what that is? Yeah. Yeah, this is the first week. I think we've ever used that term somehow 00:17:32.418 --> 00:17:37.278 - or another so a guided diversion is utilized in an area where 00:17:37.570 --> 00:17:44.381 - typical Stage diversion isn't a possibility or there's no detour route for a full closure to be in place 00:17:44.381 --> 00:17:50.933 - there We sparingly have some examples of this but generally speaking where there's only one sidewalk 00:17:50.933 --> 00:17:57.484 - not a paired sidewalk along a stretch of road The expectation is that you know, the crews are on the 00:17:57.484 --> 00:18:04.036 - lookout to see if there's anybody that might need assistance Through those work areas and be willing 00:18:04.036 --> 00:18:05.982 - to help them Great. Thank you 00:18:07.586 --> 00:18:14.482 - I will just ask preemptively because the next agenda item is Includes the same areas this one if you 00:18:14.482 --> 00:18:21.445 - would just touch on the coordination. Oh, yes. Thank you. Yes So we have a quite a bit of work that's 00:18:21.445 --> 00:18:28.614 - going to be coming up in the high street corridor Thankfully during the summer session not while schools 00:18:28.614 --> 00:18:35.646 - in session This work is going to be a one-off single permit to hang Re up the service to a single home 00:18:35.746 --> 00:18:45.242 - the following request that we'll talk about here in just a minute is going to be for a Relocation of 00:18:45.242 --> 00:18:55.208 - an entire project area so much wider in scale Thank you, of course All right, is there any public comment 00:18:55.208 --> 00:19:01.790 - on this item I Do not see any All right seeing none is there a motion 00:19:04.034 --> 00:19:12.601 - Move approval of the right of way closure request for Center point energy at high and Woodstock I second 00:19:12.601 --> 00:19:21.087 - I will call the roll Roche. Hi Caron. I motion passes Next is the right of way closure request for high 00:19:21.087 --> 00:19:27.614 - street utility relocation Kyle ball engineering once again so this request is a 00:19:28.322 --> 00:19:34.812 - Trial of sorts for us to kind of package a lot of similar requests that are going to come in the same 00:19:34.812 --> 00:19:41.239 - time frame To make it a little bit more clear to the public what exactly is going on So this request 00:19:41.239 --> 00:19:47.603 - stemmed from the start of you utility relocation work, which is going to be starting this week with 00:19:47.603 --> 00:19:53.966 - in Street fiber network Where lane and sidewalk closures would be in place? throughout the corridor 00:19:53.966 --> 00:19:56.702 - of High Street so from Arden to East third 00:19:56.802 --> 00:20:02.654 - So quite a bit of disturbance will be had in the area But we wanted to make sure that we're Bringing 00:20:02.654 --> 00:20:08.622 - a singular item that's going to have the bulk of the requests There might be some one-off request here 00:20:08.622 --> 00:20:14.474 - or there if there's some issue on site We'll handle those as they come up, but this is for just lane 00:20:14.474 --> 00:20:20.094 - and sidewalk closure throughout that corridor The expected dates would be the start of this week 00:20:20.194 --> 00:20:27.049 - Until October 31st of this year. So this would all take place to relocate the various utilities which 00:20:27.049 --> 00:20:33.971 - include Duke energy Smithville communications and street fiber as mentioned City Bloomington utilities 00:20:33.971 --> 00:20:41.028 - Centerpoint energy Comcast cable AT&T and Zayal communications So all of those would be relocated during 00:20:41.028 --> 00:20:48.017 - this time span ahead of the high street multi-use path project that'll be starting late this year early 00:20:48.017 --> 00:20:48.958 - next year and 00:20:51.234 --> 00:21:00.649 - Thank you. Questions from the board. Can you just clarify which side of the road the multi use path 00:21:00.649 --> 00:21:10.347 - is going to be on. East side. Great. Thank you. Is there any public comment on this item. I do not see 00:21:10.347 --> 00:21:20.798 - any raised hands. OK. Is there a motion. I move approval of the right of a closure request for the high street 00:21:21.218 --> 00:21:32.026 - Utility relocation project and I second with the motion in a second. I will call the roll Roach. I coron 00:21:32.026 --> 00:21:42.627 - I motion passes Continuing on the Kyle show tonight right-of-way closure request for service solutions 00:21:42.627 --> 00:21:47.774 - ROW 2026-05-2474 So this request is being made to 00:21:53.570 --> 00:22:00.076 - Sidewalk improvements on this 300 block of North Jefferson Unfortunately, there's no other alternative 00:22:00.076 --> 00:22:06.581 - for this. So this is going to come back to that pedestrian guided diversion if you will that we talked 00:22:06.581 --> 00:22:08.350 - about just a moment ago and 00:22:08.546 --> 00:22:15.119 - But staff did evaluate all the possibilities here. So this work could be taking place on that same side 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:21.693 - of the street So a pedestrian diversion like we would see with the Jersey barriers and all that Because 00:22:21.693 --> 00:22:28.076 - there's no curb ramps available in that segment. There's also You know parking restrictions there if 00:22:28.076 --> 00:22:34.397 - we utilize that where folks don't have any parking driveways to utilize On the opposite side of the 00:22:34.397 --> 00:22:36.862 - street. The sidewalk is non-continuous 00:22:36.962 --> 00:22:42.951 - So it would leave folks to step down from a curb in order to get back into the streets So it really 00:22:42.951 --> 00:22:49.060 - doesn't an ideal scenario on any front But they're looking for this one-week request to take place in 00:22:49.060 --> 00:22:55.050 - the month of June They would be utilizing a pedestrian guided diversion where the crews would be on 00:22:55.050 --> 00:23:01.159 - the lookout for anybody that may or may not need help to get through that work area and Hoping to get 00:23:01.159 --> 00:23:05.950 - that wrapped up sooner rather than later Thank you any questions from the board 00:23:07.202 --> 00:23:13.508 - Just one quick question. I notice that some of these right away requests have like a code number associated 00:23:13.508 --> 00:23:19.346 - with it and some don'ts. Is there a particular reason several people submitting these staff reports 00:23:19.346 --> 00:23:23.550 - is the base reason I actually talked to Miranda earlier this week about 00:23:24.194 --> 00:23:30.004 - Formalizing exactly how these should be entered. I know they've come in many different forms and fashions 00:23:30.004 --> 00:23:35.485 - over the years At least since I've been here and I'd like to cut down on that So we'll work on that 00:23:35.485 --> 00:23:41.022 - to make it a little bit more clear The ROW number is simply the electronic number that's assigned to 00:23:41.022 --> 00:23:46.667 - the permit application in our system So whenever we're looking back at these notes, it might be easier 00:23:46.667 --> 00:23:51.710 - to be able to derive what permit we're talking about Is there public comment on this item I 00:23:56.226 --> 00:24:05.193 - None on zoom seeing none is there a motion I Move approval the right away closure request for service 00:24:05.193 --> 00:24:14.072 - solutions permit number. Do you need that? No, okay Nice second. I'll call the roll roach. I coron I 00:24:14.072 --> 00:24:23.390 - motion passes Next is the right-of-way closure request for four square restoration at 223 East 1st Street 00:24:24.674 --> 00:24:32.115 - So four squares requesting this closure the sidewalk closure for a single week starting May 25th in 00:24:32.115 --> 00:24:39.854 - order to repair the retaining wall and sidewalk and I believe foundation of this home In this scenario, 00:24:39.854 --> 00:24:47.519 - we do have an option to divert folks through with a detour So that would be a standard detour in place 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:54.142 - to put them on the east side of the street To make sure that they have a continuous path 00:24:54.658 --> 00:25:02.949 - Yeah, this one should be fairly simple Thanks any questions from the board any public comment on this 00:25:02.949 --> 00:25:10.752 - item Does not appear to be an anzoom All right, seeing none. Is there a motion? I move approval 00:25:10.752 --> 00:25:19.206 - of right-of-way closure request for four square restoration at 223 East 1st Street a second I will call 00:25:19.206 --> 00:25:22.782 - the roll Roach. I Korone I motion passes. I 00:25:23.522 --> 00:25:30.069 - Next is a right-of-way closure request for Duke Energy This one I'm going to read more on script for 00:25:30.069 --> 00:25:37.004 - because there are a lot of specific road names, which we appreciate So Duke Energy is requesting Temporary 00:25:37.004 --> 00:25:43.616 - sidewalk closures at or near the intersections of South Forrester Street East Rogers Road David Drive 00:25:43.616 --> 00:25:50.098 - South Sierra Road South Spicewood Lane South Sierra Road again Sorry South Sierra Road hunters Glen 00:25:50.098 --> 00:25:51.070 - in Sierra Road 00:25:51.746 --> 00:25:58.237 - Road in East Ruhr Road Jamie Lane and East Ruhr Road Benson Court in East Ruhr To accommodate 00:25:58.237 --> 00:26:05.350 - the installation on new equipment for seven poles and to install three new poles themselves The reason 00:26:05.350 --> 00:26:12.255 - this is being brought to you guys is because the total expected time for those sidewalk closures to 00:26:12.255 --> 00:26:16.606 - take place is going to be exceeding 24 hours or there might be 00:26:16.866 --> 00:26:22.502 - that case so we just wanted to be proactive here so these closures are proposed from July 7th through 00:26:22.502 --> 00:26:28.138 - July 21st of this year I know that Adam brought up a potential conflict with a bridge project in that 00:26:28.138 --> 00:26:33.884 - same area we've worked with Roy and engineering so Zach is going to follow up with both parties to make 00:26:33.884 --> 00:26:39.630 - sure that at least those dates are shared but at this point we don't expect there to be a conflict with 00:26:39.630 --> 00:26:44.382 - that project but we'll make sure that both parties are in communication to avoid that 00:26:46.210 --> 00:26:53.488 - Thank you. Questions from the board. I assume this is this will be moving closures is that all the locations 00:26:53.488 --> 00:27:00.232 - will not be closed at one time. Correct. Correct. Yeah. This is a very short term typically speaking 00:27:00.232 --> 00:27:07.243 - you know with the bucket trucks on the lane or you know in the tree plot area that sort of thing. Great. 00:27:07.243 --> 00:27:10.782 - Thank you. Is there any public comment on this item. 00:27:16.834 --> 00:27:24.240 - All right, is there a motion I move approval of the right-of-way closure request for Duke Energy and 00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:31.793 - I second I will call the roll Roach.

I motion passes Next 00:29:29.231 --> 00:29:38.009 - is resolution 2026 dash 0 to 8 closure of Clubhouse Drive Good evening, Adam Wason public works director 00:29:38.009 --> 00:29:40.350 - for the city of Bloomington 00:29:40.482 --> 00:29:47.270 - This is a request in coordination with the city legal department and the engineering department for 00:29:47.270 --> 00:29:54.329 - a closure of Clubhouse Drive directly west of Old State Road 37 sometimes affectionately known as lower 00:29:54.329 --> 00:30:01.592 - Cascades Drive and I'm gonna turn it over to Audrey Brittenham and Michael from the engineering department 00:30:01.592 --> 00:30:08.516 - to answer the specific questions and offer more information Sorry about that. I got lost in my email. 00:30:08.516 --> 00:30:09.534 - Thanks Adam. I 00:30:09.762 --> 00:30:15.360 - Okay, so as we discussed about on yesterday during the week session about a week ago Friday the legal 00:30:15.360 --> 00:30:20.574 - department received an inspection report from the county legal department regarding bridge 317 00:30:20.706 --> 00:30:26.624 - On West Clubhouse Drive, just west of where it tees into North Old State Road 37, the report indicates 00:30:26.624 --> 00:30:32.370 - the bridge needs imminent repairs. The content of the report was shared with Public Works and Parks 00:30:32.370 --> 00:30:38.289 - and Engineering. Engineering in consultation with the legal department and Public Works determined the 00:30:38.289 --> 00:30:40.702 - bridge wasn't safe for vehicular traffic. 00:30:40.834 --> 00:30:48.283 - In order to preserve public safety and to keep vehicles from continuing to use the bridge public works 00:30:48.283 --> 00:30:55.876 - department closed West Clubhouse Drive on the east and west side of bridge 317 The board of public works 00:30:55.876 --> 00:31:03.180 - has the authority Granted to it via statue in title 12 of the city's ordinance over the city's right 00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:09.182 - of ways and infrastructure so we're currently asking the board of public works and 00:31:09.570 --> 00:31:16.112 - ratify the decision to close Clubhouse Road on either side of bridge 317 until such time that the road 00:31:16.112 --> 00:31:22.464 - is considered safe for vehicular traffic the city is closing the road and not the bridge because at 00:31:22.464 --> 00:31:28.815 - this time the city does not think that The we don't believe that we own the bridge and that we have 00:31:28.815 --> 00:31:35.230 - the authority to close the bridge But we do have authority over the board has the authority over the 00:31:35.230 --> 00:31:39.486 - roads and the right-of-ways on either side of the bridge Thank you 00:31:40.514 --> 00:31:48.107 - Any questions from the board? The only question revolves around some of the whereas clauses and the 00:31:48.107 --> 00:31:55.775 - resolution So I understand the resolution itself. It makes complete sense The board has authority to 00:31:55.775 --> 00:32:03.444 - close streets and we want to close this street because the bridge is unsafe the whereas clauses come 00:32:03.444 --> 00:32:09.214 - in Make some statements about state law and I just want to make sure that I 00:32:11.906 --> 00:32:39.646 - Position of the city is that these whereas clauses are sound and legal Can you So this is the one that 00:32:40.290 --> 00:32:46.281 - I know the statute. I just want to double check the I want to double check it right here just to make 00:32:46.281 --> 00:32:51.920 - sure I've read it many times and so Yes, that is correct. See is the subsection of that statute 00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:58.087 - a Municipality is responsible for the construction reconstruction and maintenance of a bridge that meets 00:32:58.087 --> 00:33:04.196 - the following requirements is located within the corporate limits of the Municipality has a span length 00:33:04.196 --> 00:33:08.542 - equal to or less than 20 feet and is not part of the state highway system 00:33:09.730 --> 00:33:18.738 - So that is that is simply a restating of the state code. It's not it's not a legal opinion or anything 00:33:18.738 --> 00:33:27.660 - like that. That is just a restating of the code. Great. Thank you. All right. Is there public comment 00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:36.843 - on this item. If you are on zoom use the chat function or raise hand. I don't see any. All right. Seeing 00:33:36.843 --> 00:33:38.942 - none is there a motion. 00:33:41.058 --> 00:33:49.210 - Before I make a motion is want to make a statement and I would encourage the city and the county to 00:33:49.210 --> 00:33:57.525 - bring this to a conclusion as soon as possible and I Know that everyone will be doing everything they 00:33:57.525 --> 00:34:05.921 - can to do that And with that I Move that we approve resolution 20 26 0 to 8 closure of clubhouse drive 00:34:05.921 --> 00:34:09.182 - and I second I will call the roll Roach 00:34:09.410 --> 00:34:17.428 - Her own I motion passes next on the agenda staff reports. Good evening Adam Wason public works director. 00:34:17.428 --> 00:34:24.682 - I just want to offer a couple of reports today first starting off with its construction season 00:34:24.682 --> 00:34:28.958 - in Bloomington. We've got MCCSE schools letting out on. 00:34:29.058 --> 00:34:35.321 - I think Thursday is their last day. IU let out about a week and a half, two weeks ago. We are getting 00:34:35.321 --> 00:34:41.522 - into the heart of our construction season. Yes, a lot of it takes place in this short period of time 00:34:41.522 --> 00:34:47.785 - between the end of school and start of school, and we try to cram a lot in, but for a lot of reasons. 00:34:47.785 --> 00:34:50.302 - Right now, we've kicked off our Kirkwood 00:34:50.370 --> 00:34:57.933 - Brick paver restoration project or maintenance project. So that's going block by block from Indiana 00:34:57.933 --> 00:35:05.497 - to walnut Reducing trip hazards and rebuilding the brick sidewalks on Kirkwood So that's kicked off 00:35:05.497 --> 00:35:13.514 - our downtown alleyway project redoing alleys between college and walnut Is continuing up from 7th towards 00:35:13.514 --> 00:35:15.102 - 11th Street? we have 00:35:15.202 --> 00:35:21.952 - Downtown paving projects if you've tried to get to blooming foods on the near west side for lunch today, 00:35:21.952 --> 00:35:28.510 - you saw all the Equipment of EMB paving out there milling up a lot of our downtown streets around the 00:35:28.510 --> 00:35:35.003 - near west side to do major contracted paving work We will have a major paving project that will kick 00:35:35.003 --> 00:35:41.561 - off in the next couple weeks that goes from Grimes on the south side at Walnut over through Patterson 00:35:41.561 --> 00:35:42.718 - past Nova Nordisk 00:35:42.978 --> 00:35:49.362 - up Rogers and then also on Kirkwood near Rose Hill Cemetery into Rogers on what near west side their 00:35:49.362 --> 00:35:56.063 - major paving projects on roads that need major paving projects. So you know that's on top of some private 00:35:56.063 --> 00:36:02.384 - developments we've got going. You've heard tonight we have a lot of utility work going with utility 00:36:02.384 --> 00:36:06.366 - replacements continuing with our with Centerstone the National 00:36:06.466 --> 00:36:12.575 - natural gas company. We have fiber companies out there. It is a busy time for construction and construction 00:36:12.575 --> 00:36:18.345 - related activities. So not only just to mention all the work we're doing and investments we're making 00:36:18.345 --> 00:36:24.001 - but also just reminding the traveling public be mindful of all those construction workers out there 00:36:24.001 --> 00:36:27.678 - doing this work. We know that it can have some inconvenience but 00:36:28.194 --> 00:36:34.261 - want to make sure our staff and the contracted staff we have completing all this good work is in the 00:36:34.261 --> 00:36:38.046 - safest environment possible.
