No questions? 00:03:30.114 --> 00:03:40.110 - I just want to make a comment that as was put out in the updated packet, there was a grammatical and 00:03:40.110 --> 00:03:50.105 - typo correction to the art on a traffic box for WFHB resolution. So they actually did not change the 00:03:50.105 --> 00:03:53.470 - contents, just changed the typos. 00:03:58.210 --> 00:04:06.712 - Thank you.

Any public comment on tonight's consent agenda. Is there a motion. 00:04:15.131 --> 00:04:23.716 - I move approval of the consent agenda for the meeting of Tuesday August 11th 2026. And I second I will 00:04:23.716 --> 00:04:27.550 - call the roll Roche. I Caron I motion passes. 00:04:30.626 --> 00:04:38.705 - First item of new business is the right-of-way closure request for Weddle Brothers at West 3rd between 00:04:38.705 --> 00:04:46.784 - South Walnut and South College So what our brothers is requesting some temporary right-of-way closures 00:04:46.784 --> 00:04:54.785 - on South College and West 3rd Street Adjacent to the current Convention Center site 301 South College 00:04:54.785 --> 00:04:58.942 - The request is for to accommodate the work including 00:04:59.298 --> 00:05:06.861 - pavement concrete removal, sewer structure placement, construction of new curbs, medians, concrete bus 00:05:06.861 --> 00:05:14.277 - lanes, some electrical work for new light poles running that conduit, new signal detection loops and 00:05:14.277 --> 00:05:15.966 - new pavement markings. 00:05:17.026 --> 00:05:22.609 - This is gonna incorporate some work, and we mentioned in the work session yesterday, this is 00:05:22.609 --> 00:05:28.913 - gonna incorporate some work that's planned from the Public Works Department. I don't know the full scope 00:05:28.913 --> 00:05:34.976 - of that plan, but I know they're doing some work to the east of this block as well. So after meeting 00:05:34.976 --> 00:05:41.040 - with Weddle even today, we're gonna closely coordinate on how we can make that the most efficient as 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.182 - possible. So possibly some nighttime work and things of that nature. 00:05:45.954 --> 00:05:53.076 - So the actual request here includes temporary sidewalk, parking lane, travel lane, alley, and full street 00:05:53.076 --> 00:05:59.862 - closures. So we're looking at two different segments here. Starting on South College, a travel lane, 00:05:59.862 --> 00:06:06.716 - parking lane, and sidewalk diversion are going to be requested. So this is going to look very similar 00:06:06.716 --> 00:06:12.158 - to the current setup. Right now, they have the east and west sidewalks diverted. 00:06:13.442 --> 00:06:19.538 - This is expected to be in place from August 25th through roughly October 31st of this year. 00:06:19.538 --> 00:06:26.296 - So like I said, largely similar to what we've seen thus far. This will actually probably carry out to 00:06:26.296 --> 00:06:33.451 - the end of the project as the team works from the east side of the building, north side, and then finishing 00:06:33.451 --> 00:06:37.758 - on the west side. So just wanted to make sure we clarified that. 00:06:38.402 --> 00:06:46.360 - Kind of different request. We have here is a closure of the alley. So the southern end of the North 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:54.477 - South alley between college and walnut along with a sidewalk closure on the southern side of West 3rd 00:06:54.477 --> 00:07:02.992 - Street there in between college and walnut that sidewalk closure is planning on being implemented tomorrow 00:07:02.992 --> 00:07:06.494 - once approved and then that would run until 00:07:07.682 --> 00:07:14.283 - September 30th, and that was when I miss clarifying in the staff report here, so apologies on that. 00:07:14.283 --> 00:07:20.884 - So until September 30th with the sidewalk closure, the full street closure was originally requested 00:07:20.884 --> 00:07:27.683 - to occur from August 25th of this year to September 30th. Upon further review, staff decided that that 00:07:27.683 --> 00:07:34.878 - was a bit excessive, so our recommendation is going to be for a two-week closure, two-calendar week closure. 00:07:35.010 --> 00:07:41.290 - starting on the same date, August 25th until September 8th, I believe it is. And working with the Weddle 00:07:41.290 --> 00:07:47.270 - team, we expect some other closure requests to come about during that time frame. So likely looking 00:07:47.270 --> 00:07:53.371 - at some lane closures, continued sidewalk closure, that sort of thing, which we fully expect to bring 00:07:53.371 --> 00:07:59.351 - to the next Board of Public Works meeting once we get some clarity surrounding the work that ENB is 00:07:59.351 --> 00:08:04.734 - planning with the Public Works project and the scope they have with this project as well. 00:08:06.434 --> 00:08:14.579 - Said a lot any questions on this. Thank you any questions from the board Question about two questions. 00:08:14.579 --> 00:08:22.803 - I don't recall We may not we may have talked about yesterday and I just went over my head but the alley 00:08:22.803 --> 00:08:31.028 - The alley closure are there any properties that that alley touches that might You know, they might only 00:08:31.028 --> 00:08:34.270 - get their only access from the alley and 00:08:35.490 --> 00:08:44.252 - Theoretically that's possible if somebody's utilizing that alley for parking as is Allowable in city 00:08:44.252 --> 00:08:53.013 - code the 30-minute time frame There was still will be access from the north so that north side would 00:08:53.013 --> 00:09:01.861 - not be closed so you could access this alley from 4th Street For okay, so this isn't the alley that's 00:09:01.861 --> 00:09:04.030 - Heading south from third 00:09:04.386 --> 00:09:12.142 - It's heading north from third to fourth. It's a north-south the way we frame it. Sorry the north-south 00:09:12.142 --> 00:09:20.048 - alley that intersects at third So there's what used to be I think German American Bank there and I think 00:09:20.048 --> 00:09:27.729 - it's on the north side on the north side Yes. Yes. Thank you. And then you got the one sells property 00:09:27.729 --> 00:09:33.150 - on the other side of it there Okay So Like that that one sells property 00:09:33.634 --> 00:09:41.011 - All of the parking for that property is access from the alley Correct. Yeah, and The Weddell team is 00:09:41.011 --> 00:09:48.462 - here to answer some of these I do know that there was a question raised by the one cells team on that 00:09:48.462 --> 00:09:55.766 - I don't know that's From our stance. It's between those private parties to negotiate something Okay 00:09:55.766 --> 00:10:03.582 - And then in general Construction on schedule ahead of schedule behind schedule from everything that I know 00:10:04.034 --> 00:10:11.553 - Andrew on schedule as Andrew says Thank you Communication they've had with that one sells Property and 00:10:11.553 --> 00:10:19.364 - parking in that alley if that's going to be an issue Yeah, Andrew Sherry project manager of water brothers 00:10:19.364 --> 00:10:27.102 - We did issue the letters to the same group that we've affected with the full college closure So everybody 00:10:27.102 --> 00:10:29.438 - between second and third Street 00:10:29.602 --> 00:10:35.402 - But on this one we included Bunger and Robertson's team and one sells for this closure duration He did 00:10:35.402 --> 00:10:41.090 - come back and mentioned some access from the north and potentially people park there. So it may make 00:10:41.090 --> 00:10:46.721 - his access Potentially restricted for that 30-minute time frame. It's allowable We told him that we 00:10:46.721 --> 00:10:52.577 - would work with him on everything that we could there But as far as the schedule durations When we came 00:10:52.577 --> 00:10:58.434 - to Board of Public Works last year for all of these closures, it's the exact same start date exact same 00:10:58.434 --> 00:10:59.166 - end date and 00:10:59.362 --> 00:11:10.257 - So everything's on schedule there None on zoom, all right, is there a motion I Move I move approval 00:11:10.257 --> 00:11:21.589 - of the right-of-way Right away closer request for Weddle Brothers at West third between at South walnut 00:11:21.589 --> 00:11:28.126 - and South College.
