City Council Meeting Minutes October 1, 2013 Page 3 of 15 meeting with Western Golf to discuss insurance as it relates to the golf course. The estimates on cost are very preliminary and in some cases still require significant review due to property /equipment that remains under high water. The detail on damage and cost is refined daily. Staff is receiving many questions from Summit Club members and Peak players about pro- rating the players' fees and providing a refund. Public Works Director Kowar reported on damages to the City's water system. The water intake structure at Eldorado Springs Canyon sustained damage and will require some reconstruction effort. The Intake water structure takes water in from South Boulder Creek and is pipelined to the City's South Water Treatment Plant on Marshall Road. Some areas along the pipeline suffered sliding and crews worked to stabilize the ground. Once the intake structure is stabilized, the water will be turned on to insure there is no damage along the pipeline. City crews completed repairs to the Water Treatment Plant, which suffered some broken pipes. The water system will be brought up to the standard prior to the flood. Public Works Director Kowar reported on the damaged County Road Bridge. Staff will meet with the Federal Highway Authority and FEMA to identify the damage. Staff is working on a RFP for a new bridge design, which will consider current standards and the sizing for the appropriate flows for the flood plain. Staff will coordinate on the repairs to the facade area of the Dillon Bridge and the golf cart underpass.
