RESOLUTION:
# 165-11
RE: Private Meeting – Contract Negotiations and Personnel
The above resolution was offered by Koehler, seconded by Bishop, the roll being called, all voting in the affirmative, the President of Council declared the resolution duly adopted.
On a motion by Tolomeo, seconded by Zampirri, that Council now return to open session. Carried. 9:55 AM
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that the contract will be awarded for the replacement of the windows at the Recreation Center but there is a question about the hourly charge for extra work after the old windows are removed.
SOLICITOR KAUFMANN stated that the resolution should be adopted as drafted and a meeting should be held with the contractor to review the desired procedure.
ACTING ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that the City will be replacing the Maryland Avenue bulkhead at NW 18th Avenue. Over the years homeowners have encroached into the public right-of-way. The best solution at this point is to vacate 5’ of the right-of-way on each side of the street and then proceed with the bulkhead replacement. This would allow the structures to remain, some of which affect ingress and egress.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that there was a similar issue on Maryland Avenue at SW 15th Avenue.
ENGINEER PETRELLA stated that the work can be done on that bulkhead (SW 15th) without vacating any of the public right-of-way.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that a homeowner at SW 15th replaced his own bulkhead. If we vacate one end of Maryland Avenue we should probably do the same at the other end.
ENGINEER PETRELLA stated that the encroachments at SW 15th are not as severe as at NW 18th.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that the homeowner replaced 5’ into the public right-of-way so that when it did get vacated the City would not have to do it.
MAYOR HENFEY stated that the City does not lose anything by giving up just 5’.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that we should do the same at both ends of the street.
ENGINEER PETRELLA stated that the vacated 5’ will become taxable property.
On a motion by Koehler, seconded by McCullion, that caucus be adjourned. Carried. 10:00 AM
