City Council Meeting Minutes December 19, 2017 Page 8 of 17 Because the conditions seem to exist in the entire comdor, Ms. Adettiwar also presented the suggestion of investigating the entire area, as discussed in the proposal included with the report. Mr. Adettiwar stated the urgent steps he recommended include more hazard signs be installed, blocking the access at West Sagebrush Court, and monitoring the existing slide with the inclinometer installed at bonng B1 He also recommended the entire coyote run corndor be investigated for land slide hazards. Near future items he suggested for the next 1-2 years. design drainage improvements in the entire comdor and implement those improvements in the next 2-3 years. Councilmember Maloney asked what the costs would be for Option 5. Mr Adettiwar stated Options 1-4 are for stabilizing the existing slide, Option 5 is to address the entire corndor. The cost for Option 5 is unknown at this time Councilmember Maloney asked what staff recommends. City Manager Balser stated staff suggests doing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to complete Option 5 and to put some costs on these options Director Stevens stated based on the report, staff is suggesting using the RFP to get some firm numbers to complete the process for the whole area. What is still missing is survey work and project management for options 1- 4 Part is continued study and part is actually doing the work. If the area can be addressed in totality, staff would like to bring that for consideration Councilmember Maloney asked Mr Adettiwar if this slide is going to keep sliding and put homes in danger. Adettiwar stated the slide movement is unpredictable and very close to the community trail at the south end of the slide. There are significant tension cracks in the ground and the slide has increased so it is important to install those signs and close that access Councilmember Maloney asked what staff is looking for, how do we weigh the seventy of this, and is there any joint responsibility with the neighborhood. Interim City Manager Balser stated there is a need to do the RFP for more assessment and staff would like to get direction on the administrative steps for signage, etc. The plan would be to review for the next 1-2 years and implement in year three if needed Councilmember Stolzmann stated there is a need to do something tonight so the neighborhood knows we are doing something She supports option 4 and at minimum do the water table mitigation. We should get the costs and close the social trail with a sign about the potential hazard. Perhaps remove some of the other signs that might attract people to the site. She is looking forward to the RFP. Adettiwar suggested monitoring the ground movement as well
