Morris Park Trail Crossing Damaged by Flood; Multiple Repair Options Considered
An update was provided on the damage to the Hatchery Branch Pedestrian Crossing in Morris Park due to flooding on June 8th. The existing crossing was washed out, and reconnection of the trail is needed. Options evaluated include installing a 50-foot pedestrian bridge owned by the city (estimated cost $632,000 due to permits and regulations), installing pre-cast box culverts (estimated cost $370,000), or diverting the trails to connect with Lampo walking trails. The latter is considered the most cost-effective option, avoiding future damage. Further cost analysis for alternative crossings, including 'whistles' (culverts) and the trail diversion, will be conducted.
Police Chief Reports on Storm Response and Life-Saving Intervention
Police Chief Russell provided an update on the police department's operations, highlighting their response to various incidents during a recent storm. These included responding to vehicle theft attempts, a DWI arrest, directing traffic during power outages, a domestic disturbance where officers were assaulted, and a successful CPR intervention on an unresponsive infant. Officer Zachary Graham was commended for his life-saving actions and will be nominated for a citation.
Council Approves Bid Tabulation and Golf Cart Purchase
The council discussed and approved a bid tabulation for an unspecified project, allowing staff more time to study the bids and make a recommendation. Additionally, the council approved the purchase of 10 electric lithium golf carts from Clear Creek Golf Car for $53,700, with a trade-in value of $21,000 for 10 gas golf carts. The purchase is part of a larger plan to transition to electric carts once infrastructure is in place.
