3. ENGINEER'S REPORT
Nathan Cleaver of Keller Associates updated the Board on the status of Task Order ##1.
Nathan's memo dated 8/17/09 was handed out. He reported that he had reviewed the work
provided by CH2M Hill which included contour data, survey points at manholes with elevations,
but did not provide actual survey points and project benchmarks. He is in touch with Betsy
Roberts at CH2M Hill, and Betsy is assisting in providing the data. Additional survey work will be
needed on the east side of E. Lake Street. Other data will also be verified. He noted that quite of
bit of data provided by CH2M Hill will be used.
There was a discussion regarding design plans for the planned improvements. Board members
expressed their desire to involve adjacent business owners and citizens. Mr. Swanson reported
that the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) also would like to be involved. Board
members were very interested in having the input of the TAC. A public hearing or design
charette were proposed as ways to solicit input. It was determined that a design charette would
be more interactive and would result in more meaningful input. Nathan advised waiting until the
basemap and some concept drawings were done before holding the design charette so these
items could be used as a starting point. There was general agreement to hold a design charette
in October. The topic will be discussed in further detail at the next Board meeting on September
