LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET A MOTION A SECOND FOR THE REST OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. MAYOR. I MAKE A MOTION OR MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH WITHOUT ITEM E, BUT ALSO WITH ITEM G FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. OKAY. AND I SECOND. THANK YOU. SO I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF E AND G PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU. MOTION PASSES 8 TO 0. ITEM G. HELLO, COUNCIL. I'M ANGELA PFLANZ, YOUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING. I'M OPEN TO ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS. I'LL GO AHEAD AND READ THE CAPTION. TO APPROVE AN EXPENDITURE FOR ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR EROSION CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS FOR VARIOUS LOCATIONS. PROJECT NUMBER ENG-D-00016. IN THE AMOUNT OF $270,487.50 FROM WALTER P. MOORE AND ASSOCIATES FOR THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. OH, SORRY, [LAUGHTER] I ALREADY INTRODUCED MYSELF, I APOLOGIZE. ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING ANGELA PFLANZ. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? OKAY. MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANGELA, THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP. I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE ON LATE NOTICE. I ACTUALLY HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. AND THIS IS REALLY FOR EDIFICATION OF THE PUBLIC, BUT ALSO FOR SOME OF OUR NEWER COUNCIL MEMBERS. FIRST OF ALL, ON WE'VE ALREADY DONE A STREAM BANK EROSION ASSESSMENT. HOW MANY LINEAR MILES DO YOU SAY THAT WE THAT OUR CITY LOOKED AND UNDERTOOK FOR THIS ASSESSMENT? WE LOOKED AT 127 MILES OF STREAMS IN THE CITY. OKAY. AND HOW DID WE GO ABOUT DOING THIS ASSESSMENT? WE STARTED THIS IN THE FALL OF 2022 AT EVERY WINTER MONTHS, A COLD. WINTER MONTHS OF 2022, 2023 AND 2024. IN THAT THREE YEAR SPAN, WE HAD A CONSULTANT GO OUT AND ASSESS EACH EROSION CONTROL, EROSION SITE, EROSION STRUCTURE AND LAKE SYSTEM IN, IN THE CITY. AND SO WE SCORED IT. WE ALSO ASSESSED FOR RISK AND CRITICALITY TO STRUCTURES THAT WE HAVE. OKAY. SO CAN WE GO INTO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE DETAIL? NOT TOO MUCH TO OVERBURDEN ANYBODY WITH A LOT OF ENGINEERING SPEAK, BUT HOW DID WE GO ABOUT DOING THE ASSESSMENT? WHEN YOU SAID THAT, YOU LOOKED AT IT FROM AN EROSION PERSPECTIVE AND YOU LOOKED AT IT FROM AN EVALUATION OF A POTENTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE. I KNOW YOU HAVE YOU RANKED IT. HOW DID WE GO ABOUT DOING THAT TYPE OF RANKING? WE HAD A SCORING SYSTEM FROM 0 TO 100, AND WHAT WE CONSIDERED CRITICAL WAS 0 TO 20. [00:20:04] THAT'S WHEN A STRUCTURE, INHABITABLE STRUCTURE LIKE A HOUSE OR A BUSINESS IS AT RISK OF FAILURE BECAUSE OF THE EROSION. ANOTHER ONE IS IF WE HAVE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS GOING TO BE THREATENED, SUCH AS SEWER LINES OR WATER LINES ARE EXPOSED. SO OR THERE'S A WALL FAILURE. OKAY. DURING THAT NUMERICAL EVALUATION, I'M ASSUMING YOU LOOKED AT VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THIS TO COME UP WITH A NUMBER TO, TO FALL WITHIN THAT ONE, TWO, WHATEVER THE NUMBER WAS, IT CAME UP TO. SO WHAT DID YOU REALLY LOOK AT? DID YOU LOOK AT THE, JUST THE AMOUNT OF THE EROSION ITSELF? OR DID YOU LOOK AT POTENTIAL IMPACTS OR WHAT ALL DID YOU REALLY LAY INTO? SO THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS REALLY WHAT WE DO FOR THIS TYPE OF EVALUATION. WELL, IT DOES GET INTO A LITTLE ENGINEERING SPEAK. SO EXCUSE ME IF IT GETS TOO TECHNICAL. WE LOOK AT THE, THE WAY THAT THE CREEKS ACTUALLY NATURALLY CHANNEL. WE LOOK AT THE PACE OF THE EROSION. WE ALSO LOOK I MEAN, WE TALKED ABOUT THE RISK OF THE EROSION ON ACTUAL STRUCTURES THAT ARE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. WE ALSO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, SOME SAFETY ISSUES WITH SOME OF THE EROSION, BUT MAINLY THE BIGGEST CRITERIA. THE MAIN ONE THAT WE LOOK AT IS THE CRITICALITY TO STRUCTURES THAT ESPECIALLY OUR ASSETS. OKAY. AND ON THIS ITEM WE HAVE ON G IS REALLY FOR ENGINEERING, FOR THE MITIGATION MEASURE ITSELF, OR IS IT FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT MITIGATION? IT'S BOTH. WE ACTUALLY ARE LOOKING AT THE WE'RE STUDYING WHAT WE CAN DO. SO WE WE HAVE A WE IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM. WE'RE GOING TO STUDY IT, SEE WHAT OUR POTENTIAL MITIGATION STRATEGIES WILL BE. AND THEN AND WE WILL GO INTO A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AFTER THIS. AND WE'LL AWARD TO A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR TO MITIGATE WITH SOME STREAMBANK PROTECTION, YOU KNOW, IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE DECIDED TO USE. OKAY. SO THIS WILL BE MY LAST QUESTION, BUT IT REALLY COMES OUT TO BEING CONCERNED ABOUT THE TAXPAYER DOLLAR AND WHAT WE'RE WE'RE PAYING FOR THESE MEASURES BECAUSE IT IS SIGNIFICANT DOLLARS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE DO THE WHEN WE'RE DOING THE ENGINEERING, ARE WE ASKING THEM TO COME UP WITH THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO MITIGATE THIS EROSION? FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE A STREAM BANK. WOULD IT WOULD IT BE CHEAPER TO PLACE VERY LARGE ROCKS, BOULDERS, THEIR SIZE 50 DOT-TYPE ROCKS VERSUS, SAY, IN GABION WALLS? I MEAN, WHEN WE DO THAT TYPE OF ENGINEERING, WE GOT TO COME UP WITH A MITIGATION MEASURE THAT IS COST EFFECTIVE, RIGHT? BUT ALSO STABILIZES THAT BANK THE BEST WE CAN. ARE WE DOING THAT TYPE OF ASSESSMENT TO WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST COMING OUT WITH THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION? IT'S ACTUALLY A BALANCE OF MULTIPLE THINGS IN OUR PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING. TYPICALLY, WE STUDY WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE. THERE'S A SPACE CONSTRAINTS. THERE'S PARAMETERS WHEN WHENEVER ARE WE LOOKING AT DESIGN. YEAH. WE LOOK AT GABIONS A LOT. THAT'S AN ENGINEERING TYPE IMPROVEMENT THAT WE CAN DO. THERE'S OTHER SUSTAINABLE MEASURES THAT WE CAN USE. WE'VE DONE CONCRETE MAT. I'M GETTING INTO TECHNICAL TERMS. I APOLOGIZE, BUT THERE'S SO MANY METHODOLOGIES, BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS ON SLOPES, HOW VERTICAL THESE THESE FAILURES ARE HAPPENING, WHAT KIND OF WALLS WE CAN PUT UP. BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF PROTECTION WE'RE TRYING TO DO. IF WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT AN AERIAL CROSSING, WE HAVE A DIFFERENT STRATEGY TO INSTEAD OF LIKE, IF IT'S JUST A WALL THAT'S FAILING. OKAY. WELL, LISTEN, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR, FOR ALLOWING ME THIS TO BRING THIS FORWARD. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. YOU MENTIONED YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE RATE OF EROSION. ARE YOU IS THAT BY REEXAMINING IT OVER TIME TO SEE HOW QUICKLY IT'S CHANGING OR SOMETHING ELSE? SO MY TEAM HAS LOOKED AT THIS AND THERE'S MULTIPLE WAYS TO DO IT. THERE'S A DESKTOP STUDY, AND SOMETIMES IT IS. NOW THAT WE HAVE A BASELINE ASSESSMENT, WE CAN COME BACK TO IT TO SEE IF IT HAS CHANGED. BUT BEFORE WE DID THE CITYWIDE ASSESSMENT, WE HAD TO LOOK AT AERIALS TO SEE WHERE WAS IT BEFORE AND WHAT HAPPENED AT THAT YEAR. SO IF WE WERE THERE IN 2022, WE HAD TO LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE AERIALS. BUT NOW THAT WE'RE IN 2026, WE CAN COME BACK AND SAY, WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FOUR YEARS FROM THEN, THIS WORK THAT YOU'VE GOT ON THE AGENDA FOR TODAY THAT'S BASED ON, I GUESS, THAT ORIGINAL STUDY THEN ON WHERE THE MOST CRITICAL PARTS ARE. [00:25:01] CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR THE FUTURE? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IN SOME CASES, SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT CRITICAL THREE YEARS AGO MAY BE IT CRITICAL TODAY. SO THE ASSESSMENT THAT WE HAD DONE ALREADY IDENTIFIED 42 SITES. SO BEFORE WE EVEN PUT THIS ON IN A SCOPE FOR ENGINEERING CONSULTANT. WE ACTUALLY GO BACK OUT THERE. THE STAFF GOES BACK OUT THERE TO ASSESS IF IT'S STILL VERY CRITICAL. AND WE LOOK TO SEE IF WE AGREE THAT THE SCORE IS STILL UNDER THAT 20. THAT'S ONE PART OF IT. AND THEN WE ALSO TEND TO LOOK AT YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE ALSO REASSESS AS SOMEBODY ELSE COMES AND CALLS US AND SAYS, WE HAVE A PROBLEM AT OUR HOUSE OR NEAR OUR CREEK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. MR. MAYOR. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM CONSENT AGENDA ITEM G. I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM G. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 8 TO 0. THANK YOU. NEXT ITEM. ITEM NUMBER [(1) 26-817 Consideration of a Resolution to designate 842 square feet of City property located at 1406 G Avenue as public right-of-way; authorizing the City Manager to record this resolution; and providing an effective date.] CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO DESIGNATE 842FT² OF CITY PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1406 G AVENUE AS PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO RECORD THIS RESOLUTION AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS MATTHEW YEAGER. I'M THE CITY'S REAL ESTATE MANAGER. THE FIRST ITEM FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT IS A RIGHT OF WAY DESIGNATION THAT OCCURS WHEN THE CITY OWNS PROPERTY AND WISHES TO CONVERT A PORTION OF THAT PROPERTY TO BECOME PART OF A FUTURE STREETSCAPE. IN THIS SPECIFIC CASE, THIS IS PROPERTY LOCATED ON G AVENUE BETWEEN 14TH AND 15TH STREET AT 1406 G AVENUE. THIS IS A PROPERTY THE CITY OBTAINED IN 2000 2023 USING LAND BANK FUNDS. IT'S BEEN USED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR STORING VARIOUS ITEMS THAT THEY NEED TO PERFORM THEIR JOBS. IN THIS SPECIFIC TAKING HERE, IT'S A 14 FOOT WIDE STRIP. THE REASON WE'RE HAVING THIS DESIGNATION IS SO THAT THE CITY AND PART OF A FUTURE CIP PROJECT, A COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM PROJECT, CAN ENLARGE THE SIDEWALKS TO BE 10 FEET WIDE. THAT'S CALLED FOR IN OUR DOWNTOWN THOROUGHFARE PLAN. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THIS ITEM. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU MATT. THIS IS ITEM ONE IS TO CONSIDER THE RESOLUTION TO DESIGNATE THAT 842FT². YEAH. A RESOLUTION TO DESIGNATE 842FT² OF CITY PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1406 AVENUE G AS PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU. MOTION PASSES. ITEM 2. ITEM NUMBER 2. CONSIDERATION OF AN [(2) 26-788 Consideration of an Ordinance to determine the public use, need and necessity for the acquisition of the fee or easement interest in the properties as described in the attached Exhibit “A” located generally along the eastside frontage of G Avenue south of 15th Street; for the purpose of the construction, reconstruction and maintenance of sidewalk improvements for the G Avenue Paving and Water Improvements - 14th Street to 15th Street project; authorizing the City Manager and the City Attorney, or their respective designees to acquire the property including making initial and bona fide offers, and authorizing the City Attorney to file proceedings in eminent domain to condemn the needed real property for public use, if necessary, and providing an effective date.] ORDINANCE TO DETERMINE THE PUBLIC USE, NEED AND NECESSITY FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE FEE OR EASEMENT INTEREST IN THE PROPERTIES DESCRIBED IN THE ATTACHED EXHIBIT A LOCATED GENERALLY ALONG THE EASTSIDE OF FRONTAGE AVENUE G OR G AVENUE. EXCUSE ME. SOUTH OF 15TH STREET FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTION, RECONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE OF SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE G AVENUE PAVING AND WATER IMPROVEMENTS. 14TH STREET TO 15TH STREET PROJECT AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY ATTORNEY OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DESIGNEES TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING MAKING INITIAL AND BONA FIDE OFFERS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO FILE PROCEEDINGS IN EMINENT DOMAIN TO CONDEMN THE REAL PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC USE IF NECESSARY, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. THIS IS THE SECOND ITEM FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. TO START AND KIND OF PREFACE THE CONVERSATION, THE CITY NEEDS TO OBTAIN PROPERTY OFTENTIMES FOR ITS COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM PROJECTS. WHEN WE DO THAT, WE ALWAYS SEEK TO OBTAIN THAT PROPERTY VOLUNTARILY AND WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER. [00:30:06] IN GOOD FAITH, WE PRESENT A FAIR MARKET VALUE. WE WORK WITH THEM SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS TO THE PROPERTY OF THE CITY'S UPCOMING PROJECT, AND WHEN POSSIBLE, WE MAKE REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTS TO OUR PLANS AFTER THOSE CONVERSATIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES WE ARE NOT AS SUCCESSFUL IN OUR NEGOTIATIONS AS WE MIGHT LIKE. AND SO BECAUSE THESE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM PROJECTS ARE FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT AND SERVE A PUBLIC PURPOSE, THE STATE AUTHORIZES THE CITY TO USE AN ORDINANCE OF NECESSITY WHEN NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY. TO BRIEFLY REVIEW WHAT AN ORDINANCE NECESSITY DOES. IT IDENTIFIES THE PROPERTY THAT THE CITY MIGHT USE CONDEMNATION TO OBTAIN. THAT'S THE SIZE, THE SHAPE, AND THE LOCATION. IT ALSO HAS THE GOVERNING BODY. IN THIS CASE, THE CITY COUNCIL AFFIRM THAT THE PURPOSE FOR THE TAKING IS A PUBLIC PURPOSE AND DOES HAVE A PUBLIC BENEFIT FOR US. IT OUTLINES THE ROLES THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THE CITY MANAGER HAVE WITHIN THE PROCESS. IF CONDEMNATION IS USED AND THE BEST PRACTICE, AND THE REASON WE BROUGHT IT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS THAT WE LIKE TO HAVE THESE GO BEFORE YOU, BEFORE THE ACQUISITION PROCESS FOR THE PROJECT BEGINS. IN THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT, WE'RE MOVING NORTHWARD ALONG G AVENUE. THAT 10 FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK THAT THE CITY SEEKS TO OBTAIN REQUIRES ABOUT A TWO FOOT STRIP FROM TWO PROPERTIES. AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THE CITY PROPERTY WHERE THE RESOLUTION WAS JUST PASSED TO THE NORTH AT 1410 G AVENUE. IT'S 185 SQUARE FOOT PROPOSED SIDEWALK EASEMENT. AND FURTHER TO THE NORTH, AT 1436 G AVENUE IS ANOTHER SIDEWALK EASEMENT. BOTH OF THOSE ARE TWO FEET WIDE. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THIS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OKAY. DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOTION TO APPROVE. UNFORTUNATELY. THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL MARIA. MARIA, WE HAVE TO BE SPECIFIC. I HAVE IT HERE. SO. OH YOU NEED TO WITHDRAW. MAYOR. I MOVE THAT THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZES THE USE OF POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY LOCATED GENERALLY AT G AVENUE BETWEEN 14TH AND 15TH STREET FOR A PAVING AND WATER IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.
