City Council <br />Special Meeting Minutes <br />March 31, 2020 <br />Page 8 of 11 <br /> <br />Members discussed the various packages and options as well as the pros and cons on <br />postponing any of the work. After discussion members decided to award the full contract <br />with packages 1-5 noting that if staff can get a higher level treatment for the same price <br />on the options they should so do. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION – TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE - 2019- <br />2020 FUNDING AND PROPOSED CIP PROJECTS <br /> <br />Deputy City Manager Davis stated the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) was approved <br />last year with a comprehensive list of projects included with it. She noted this was <br />originally set to be discussed on March 3 and was postponed and therefore some of the <br />project list has changed since then. Tonight staff is specifically looking for direction on <br />projects to implement in 2020 and the six-year capital improvement plan. <br /> <br />Deputy City Manager Davis stated the 2020 budget has about $4M for TMP projects. <br />Some of the funding is committed for projects where matching funds from DRCOG are <br />being used. This includes at-grade crossings on South Boulder Road, the design plan for <br />Highway 42, and 104th Street Trail connection. <br /> <br />Staff has now revisited the list of projects to determine what might be able to be pushed <br />to a later time. Specifically staff wants direction on: <br /> <br />1) Pine Street improvements – decided to go ahead in the paving conversation earlier <br />2) Adding sidewalks to Highway 42 – staff suggests including in a later project <br />3) Powerline and Coal Creek Trail connection – design is complete could be done <br />now or later <br />4) Concrete Bump Outs - decided to go ahead in the paving conversation earlier <br />5) Design of Highway 42 Projects – complete in case federal funding is available for <br />shovel ready projects <br /> <br />Deputy City Manager Davis noted including these projects will be an approximately $2.8M <br />impact to the budget for 2020. <br /> <br />Public Comments – None. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lipton stated this seems like it is adding items to the 2020 budget not <br />making reductions. He would like to see most of it deferred. <br /> <br />Mayor Stolzmann suggested removing item 3 and is interested in doing item 5 so that we <br />have the project ready if federal funding becomes available. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lipton stated he feels we have spent too much on design already for <br />Highway 42 and does not support item 5. Director Kowar stated we have about a 15% <br />design of the technical work for Highway 42. <br />
