CENTER HILL - THIRD ADDITION - CHANGE ORDERS The City Engineer presented an explanation of the previous Center Hills, Third Addition change orders as requested by the City Council. No action taken ADDITIONAL ITEM lA. - CLEARWATER CREEK BRIDGE - PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES. John Stewart presented the preliminary cost estimates for the pedestrian bridge project across Clearwater Creek. Mr. Stewart determined that the estimated costs of connecting the lot on Grange View to the Centerville Elementary School property would be approximately $75,000.00 to $85,000.00. Additionally, 300 feet of 8 foot wide bituminous pathway would cost approximately $20,000.00. Mr. Stewart noted that this quote did not include the cost of fencing or lighting or the purchase of the parcel of property on Grange View. Clerk/Administrator Siebenaler indicated that he contacted the realtor for L~Allier Estates and discussed the possible earnest money contract for a 120 day option. Upon consultation with the owner the realtor indicated that the property could be purchased through an earnest money contract for 120 days if the City would absorb the $938.19 water assessment which is pending against this property. Mr. Siebenaler also indicated that the realtor would accept an offer to purchase and thereby hold the property until another offer is received in which case the City would have 14 days to make a decision to purchase. The realtor also indicated that the owner has offered the property to the City for $32,000.00 over the past two years. Council member elect Mary Jo Helmbrecht expressed her concern for the safety of the children using the pathway between the houses and school and crossing the creek. She further indicated that Mill Road would still be used by students and that she would rather provide a walkway on Mill Road than to invest in the creek pathway. Jerome Helmbrecht, 1745 Main Street, was present at the meeting and commented on the proposed L~Allier Estates walkway. Upon further discussion Mayor Buckbee recommended that the City staff check into possible funding sources including the School District and possible grant monies. Council member Wilharber expressed his concern for the continued cost of maintenance of this pathway.
