Louisville City Council Meeting July 15, 2003 Page 9 of 11 CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT None. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT A. Update - Police Department/Municipal Court Building. Deputy City Manager Julie Boyd reported the City has received eight pre-qualified bids for the Police Department/Municipal Court facility. The bid opening is scheduled for July 25. Boyd displayed conceptual drawings of the Police Department/Municipal Court; material and color boards for the exterior of the facility. She also distributed conceptual drawings, material and color boards for the interior of the facility. Brown asked if the courtroom could be used as a meeting room. Boyd stated the courtroom has been down sized to a capacity of 40, and has built-in fixtures for a court, such as a jury box, judge's bench, and a witness stand and would therefore not be suitable for a meeting room. B. Update - Highway 42/96th Street Project Public Works Director Tom Phare reported on the property right-of-way. He noted that Council approved the second to the last property acquisition for right-of-way, which is from a lot in CTC. Staff is still pursuing the acquisition at the comer of Dillon and 96th Street. He stated there is an appraisal commissioned and the result will be forth coming within the next two to three weeks. Negotiations still continue on the construction and maintenance agreement for the railroad crossing. He reported the Staff continues to work with a consultant on the final phase of the plans and specifications. Staff expects to have to have documents available in approximately three weeks. The process of pre- qualifying contracts has begun. Staff expects a proposal from the consulting engineer for construction services. He anticipated coming before Council in September for a bid opening. Sisk asked for the anticipated opening date of the 96th Street bypass. Phare stated by the end of 2004. He expected having a separate acceleration completion to Dillon and 96th and a separate completion date for the bridge structures and the Highway 42 intersection reconfiguration. Keany asked if the City crews would be able to expedite the process. Phare stated there are not that many preparation issues. The more important issue would be getting the right-of-way under control enough to have the private utility companies begin work. Keany asked if crews have been out locating utilities. Phare responded yes. C. Update - StorageTek Annexation and Zoning Application Process 9
