Council Minutes of 12-20-2016 this project will complete the second phase of the Country Club Boulevard Streetscape Project between Great Northern Boulevard and Victoria Lane. The project includes road resurfacing, replacement of the median with landscape, brickscape and new curbing. New decorative light poles will be installed and will match those in the first phase. There will be a new curb cut at the La Quinta Inn driveway, new crosswalks at the Dillard's intersection and a sidewalk extension east of the La Quinta Inn to connect to the bike path. The construction of this project will commence after the 4th of July celebration and the total estimate is $1.6 million. A motion was made to recommend approval to Council. The vote was 3-0 in favor.

An Ordinance accepting a permanent easement for the installation and maintenance of a stormwater sewer and drainage ditch on permanent parcel number 231-09-023 from Jeffrey and Laura Sturgeon for the purpose of providing stormwater drainage services, and declaring an emergency. The Safety and Services Director noted this was necessary as it allows access to the drainage ditch between West 231s' street and Alexander. While there is no planned work for this easement it was the desire of Mr. Sturgeon to acquire the easement as soon as possible to enable the City to do any work. A motion was made to recommend approval to Council and it passed 3-0. Councilwoman Hemann requested personal privilege.
