Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 12, 2016 Page 38 is estimated at $20,000 and due to cost savings by using Public Works staff for two of the sidewalk segments there are funds available from remaining Park Re- newal Funds. Councilmember McGehee referred to a photograph on display of the unimproved pathway and asked if it is showing a City barrier. Mr. Freihammer stated it is one of the barriers from the Twin Lake project. Councilmember McGehee asked if it is a barrier that doesn’t actually hold back the silt. Mayor Roe ruled that is not a pertinent question to this proposal because it is a question about the ongoing road project rather than the trail extension. Willmus moved, Laliberte seconded, approval of adding the trail connection be- tween Twin Lakes Parkway and the Langton Lake Trail to the Twin Lakes Park- way Contract. Mayor Roe asked if the Twin Lakes Parkway connection currently in progress in- cludes a sidewalk or pathway on the north side. Mr. Freihammer stated the path- way is on the north side and the sidewalk is on the south side. Councilmember McGehee stated there is a decline in this pathway towards the Lake so she would like the project to be mindful and assure there is no erosion. She stated she walked the entire area about two weeks ago and found a combina- tion of buckthorn and burdock, noting burdock can be lethal for some birds and bats so she should like the restoration to remove invasive and dangerous species. Councilmember Etten stated support for this pathway construction, noting it will add tremendous value for properties in the area and be of benefit to new hotels in the area and future development. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None. c.Non-Residential Stormwater Impact Fund Assistant Public Works Director and City Engineer Jesse Freihammer referenced the RCA and summary provided for the non-residential storm water impact fund as detailed in the RCA dated September 12, 2016, and related attachments. Mr. Freihammer described the application process and hardship consideration, noting the cost would be $22.50 per cubic foot to account for long-term maintenance costs. Mayor Roe reviewed the priority for mitigation would be: first within the same sewer and drainage district, drainage area; second in the same receiving water body; third in the same watershed district, and then within the City limits.
