Landscapes Unlimited has volunteered to patrol the golf course during construction and remind the public not to enter the construction site. Mayor Muckle inquired when the contractor will begin to trench the irrigation system.

The Project Begins in April of 2014 and is anticipated to be completed in 4 months. CDOT has begun the trail under US 36, which will have to be realigned. COUNCIL COMMENTS Council member Keany noted the creek bed behind Cable Labs is flat and still has quite a bit of cobble stone. He asked whether more work has to be done on the creek bed. CIP Manager Trettin explained CDOT dammed up the creek in that area to install a culvert, which will detour the creek. Staff expressed their concern about snow melt and will meet with CDOT to get the rock out of the creek before the culvert is installed. Mayor Muckle reported on complaints the trail is difficult to traverse by bicycle. He _ asked if the CDOT closure is non - negotiable. Planning Director Russ stated it is non- negotiable and CDOT is looking for a detour at Dillon and Dyer Road as the alternative. CDOT is advancing the crossing at Avista Hospital however there will not be a connection through the Superior Town Center. The only pedestrian connection will be the RTD Bridge. PUBLIC COMMENT Debbie Fahey, 1118 W. Enclave Circle, Louisville, CO asked when the public will have an opportunity to see the City Services Facility plans to provide input on the design of the building and determine whether it would include green building, LEED and is sustainable. CIP Manager Trettin explained one of the requirements of the DOLA grant is green building however the City will not proceed with the physical LEED certification. It will have an Energy Star rating. City Manager Fleming stated one of the reasons for not proceeding with a LEED certification is the additional cost. The intent will be achieved without the certification.
