Council Minutes of 8-4-2020 development has been cleaned and mapped and Park Ridge is in process. Smoke testing has been done in the Bretton Ridge development. The Mayor said conversations are moving along on both the ODOT and school properties. ODOT has been working with the City to get the easterly waterways cleared. • Director Lieber discussed the MacKenzie culvert project. The origin of the project was an approved repair to put slip lining in the culvert. However, the culvert has deteriorated beyond the ability to slip line and will need to be replaced. ODOT has committed to pay for the construction in an estimated amount of $385,000. It will be done on a reimbursement basis, so the City must first fund it. The City has already set aside about $160,000 for the slip lining, which will be transferred for the replacement project. The City will be responsible for the construction engineering and other minor costs of the project. The City has an excess of about $400,000 from other projects representing funds that have been previously borrowed but not spent which will be reallocated towards this project. The project will be put before Council at the August 18 meeting.
