Ms. Bloom anticipated Phase II going before the City Council in March for approval, with construction proposed to begin in May of 2010, with this phase smaller than the first phase, with less utility work to be completed. Discussion included future phasing (Phase III); landscaping and lighting in the transition area; staging of work to provide access to private properties; temporary easements pending for existing driveways; grades; right-of--way acquisition as development proposals come forward; and soil clean up on city-owned right-of- way parcels and based on previous and additional borings required by NIl'CA.

Further discussion included the impressive water re-use system incorporated in Phase I, with staff anticipating awards for it's unique features, and good comments received from area Watershed Districts to-date; and re-use of the sand taken from the site. Chair DeBenedet requested that staff provide an electronic copy of water quality promotion materials to the PWET Commission. Page 4 of 8
