PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
ITEMS SCHEDULED FOR TIME CERTAIN
9:30 A.M. 44TH AVENUE EAST REPORT - County Planner Sia Mollonazar presented an update on the 44th Avenue East extension project. He said it is funded "as of today with $8.2 million cash vested in the project." Adding noise barrier walls would add additional engineering and construction costs to the project of $2.133 million according to the engineering firm HDR working on the project. Landscaping, berms and fencing options would be less costly, but were not recommended by staff.
Commissioner DiSabatino recommended a reduction in the proposed speed limit from 45 mph to 35 mph along the corridor from 30th through 45th St.
Commissioner McClash motioned to have staff bring back options to change the speed limit and a fence/landscaping allowance for residents in the affected developments (Highland Ridge, Oak Trace, Wallingford) and keeping the roadway to two lanes instead of four. (Unanimously Approved)
Commissioner DiSabatino made an amended motion to also have staff explore options for a right-in, right-out entrance into Oak Trace (Approved 5-2)
10:30 A.M. COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT - Community Services Director Brenda Rogers and staff presented its annual report, mission statement and accomplishments for the past year.
