City Council Meeting Minutes May 1,2018 Page 3 of 13 D. Approval of Resolution No. 25, Series 2018 — A Resolution Approving a Business Assistance Agreement with Solid Power, Inc. for an Economic Development Project in the City of Louisville E. Approval of 2018 Water Main Replacement Contract F. Approval of 2018 Older American's Month Proclamation COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS ON PERTINENT ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Mayor Muckle stated the City is aware of the issues at the crossing at Kestrel and are actively working on making the intersection safer. He noted it is a State Highway which the City doesn't control; but we are working through the process to have a light installed. Director Kowar stated staff is gathering data to make our case to CDOT to get the approvals for the light and to lower the speed limit. CDOT will make the final decision. We want to make sure anything we do quickly doesn't make it worse. A sidewalk will be in place in the next 30-45 days. The traffic signal is in design, it is a 6-9 month design process, followed by a 6-9 month construction process. We are also working with other property owners for other connections as well. Mayor Muckle noted there is a requirement from the State that the need must be there before the light can be installed. Councilmember Loo stated perhaps Kestrel can work with Via to help with a shuttle for the grocery store. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Balser thanked the Kestrel residents for their comments. She asked Director DeJong to report on the Downtown Business District's conversation about a possible Business Improvement District election. He stated members of the district were originally interested in perhaps doing a mill levy election in November but they have now decided not to move forward with this in 2018. City Manager Balser asked Director Zuccaro to give an update on the Design Guidelines process. Director Zuccaro stated the Industrial and Commercial Design Guidelines update has begun with public meetings the last couple months. Staff will meet with Council in June for more direction and to make sure staff is on the right track before drafting the document and having further public input. He stated Envision Louisville currently has a survey posted for people to give input. Director Zuccaro noted it is National Preservation Month and the City created coasters for the restaurants to celebrate some of our local landmarks. REGULAR BUSINESS
