City Council Meeting Minutes December 19, 2017 Page 9 of 17 Councilmember Leh agreed with Councilmember Stolzmann regarding completing all of the more urgent measures immediately. He asked if option 5 will be included in the RFP Director Stevens stated the plan is to include all of the options From an open space perspective staff prefers options 1-3 We can move forward on the others depending on the inclinometer readings. There are a lot of add/alternates that can be evaluated Councilmember Keany stated his support for the RFP and taking the immediate steps. He would like larger signs telling people to keep out. We should determine where the property line is between the open space and adjoining HOA parcel We should make sure to get the homes to relocate their downspouts towards the street and away from the open space Councilmember Maloney stated he is interested in the RFP for options 1-4 and for options 5 as well He was interested if there is shared responsibility with the homeowners and in doing the monitonng. Terry Hafer, homeowner just west of the walkway since 1990, stated he speculated this may have been caused by taking a large portion of the dirt to use for other houses, it made the area much steeper It seems to be why the slides are happening. Susan Robertson, 583 Sagebrush Court, is concerned about the urgency of this. The high water table is concerning and shouldn't delay taking care of that. The monitoring is needed. How long is it going to take to take action. As far as who is responsible, all of this started in the open space and moved into the HOA property. She felt it was not an HOA responsibility. She had concerns that this is not covered by insurance and advocated completion of all steps and at minimum of addressing the water table and monitoring. Patncia Dove, 675 West Sagebrush Drive, VP of HOA, stated they are working to determine the property lines. Drainage needs to be addressed immediately as well as installing the inclinometers. The HOA knows the trail is closed and can help get out the word on that. She would like to understand if the hillside will be restored once work is done or will we always have to stay off of that area. She would like to understand what the work means for use of the area. Adettiwar stated option 4 would include making the area usable again Director Stevens stated with option 4 it would be reseeded to reestablish the plant material there Councilmember Loo stated the RFP will cover options 1-4 and perhaps 5, is the idea to do it incrementally or will we eventually do it all. Director Stevens stated doing it incrementally may be the best way to manage the budget but it may be over 2-3 years depending on if it is affordable and how this fits in the City's priorities. The RFP will help identify those costs
