GENERAL BUSINESS:
1. A Joint Meeting with the City Council and the Chubbuck Development Authority Board
(CDA) to Discuss Project Priorities and the Remainder of the 1992 Urban Renewal Plan.
The City Council and CDA Board Members discussed the current projects
associated with the 1992 Urban Renewal Plan.
The City Council and CDA Board Members also discussed priorities for future
projects. The main project that both boards wanted to see finished with the 1992
Urban Renewal Plan before it closes out in 2023 was the Hawthorne Irrigation Bridge
Project.
CDA Attorney TJ Budge stated that legal counsel Elam and Burke had counseled
that as long as the project had been designed and ready for bid before the closing of
the 1992 Urban Renewal Plan, the CDA would be able to receive/maintain those
funds throughout the remainder of the project. Mr. Budge also verified that
information with the Bannock County Assessor's office.
The City Council and CDA Board directed City Staff to start working on
designing the Hawthorne Irrigation Bridge Project.
City Engineer Bridger Morrison stated that on the Philbin/Chubbuck Road
Roundabout Project that was funded by the CDA, the concrete that was placed for the
sidewalks and truck apron, which is at the interior of the roundabout, failed to meet
the project specifications. After additional testing, it was confirmed that the concrete
did not meet the strength requirements called for the in the construction documents.
Therefore, we have two options to address the deficient concrete: 1) Require the
concrete to be removed and replaced, or 2) Leave the concrete in place but not pay
the contractor for those items.
If Option 2 were selected, there would be a savings to the project of $145,370.00.
If Option 2 were selected, there will likely be additional future maintenance costs that
the Street Department will be responsible for related to the concrete. Therefore, the
City would like the CDA to consider if that funding could be applied to projects the
Street Department needs to complete in the near fixture. If that is possible, the funding
provided by the CDA would be recognized as offsetting future maintenance costs that
the Street Department will be responsible for at the roundabout.
The Street Department had identified some project needs that could be considered
such as significant storrn drain improvements on Eagle Drive near Briarwood Park,
storm drain improvements on Hawthorne Road between Knudsen and Chubbuck
Road, and sidewalk ADA improvements at various locations.
The CDA Board asked for this item of business to be placed on their January 17,
2023 meeting agenda for further discussion and decision.
ADJOURN: Mayor Kevin England adjourned at 5:32.
