Council Minutes of 4-06-2021 available for construction and not design services. The proposal would require a 10% local match for this funding source. There was a record number funded last year and due to uncertainty around revenue streams ODOT refreshed the program a bit and focus now on emerging crash trends, serious and fatal crashes, pedestrians and cyclists. The estimated cost of a third lane is approximately $8 million, which would include 150 foot of the road in Westlake where the border is differing on each side of the streets. Mott MacDonald reiterated their position that the City has a strong case for the safety grant based on 50% of accidents taking place at the Maple Ridge intersection and the 20% efficiency gain at the largest bottleneck of the road. Another area of improvement to the road would be around the area of Clague Park with safety improvements. The Planning and Development Director also noted this review included other grant sources and received a fairly comprehensive list from NOACA. The County and NOACA focus on pavement protection and rehab. Anything such as a large scale widening would need to be part of their long range plan, of which Clague is not. Both agencies did note any timing mismatch between resurfacing and the safety project could be synced and the City would be able to move forward earlier if selected for funding and another community did not proceed. Councilman Glassburn noted the street had not been improved for a decade and felt there needed to be a different plan to rebuild the street.

The Mayor explained this is the same as the one currently being used by the Waste Water Treatment Plant and another one is needed for use by the Stormwater crew. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. • Discussed next was Resolution 2021-22. A Resolution authorizing the Department of Public Service to solicit quotes for the award of a contract to provide construction services for the 2021 Catch Basin Rehabilitation Program, and authorizing the Mayor, following approval of the Board of Control, to contract for the same with the lowest and best contractor. Chairwoman Hemann asked who would oversee the bid solicitation since the City is absent a Service Director. The Mayor explained a foreman, who has been a longtime member of the service crew, would be the person responsible for the pick. Chairwoman Hemann asked what exactly the 2021 Catch Basin Program is since there hadn't been a lot of detail provided during the budget hearings. The Mayor explained the 11
