Chairman Aldrich called the meeting of the Public Works Committee

EPURA - RIVERSIDE PLAZA.
Riverwalk Sign Locations. As stated during EPURA's business
meeting July 6th, EPURA Executive Director Anderson submitted a
list of proposed riverwalk sign locations for the Committee's
review. The 15" double -sided signs will be attached to existing
streetlights at the following locations:
Tregent Park
Peacock Park
Nagl Walkway
MacDonald Bookstore Walkway
The southwest corner of East Riverside Drive/East Elkhorn
Avenue intersection
The northwest corner of the East Riverside Drive/East
Elkhorn Avenue intersection, and
East Riverside Drive at the entrance to Riverside Plaza
The Committee recommends approval of all seven (7) locations for
the Riverwalk Signs.
Information/Directional Board. EPURA is also proposing to
install an information/directional board at the MacDonald Book-
store Walkway, adjacent to the planter bed. An additional
information board would be located at the East entrance to the
Plaza, adjacent to the berm. The Committee recommends endorse-
ment of the boards, in concept, encouraging EPURA to place one
additional information board inside the Plaza proper.
Riverside Canopy. Also in their meeting July 6th, EPURA approved
the purchase of a high -quality canopy to protect performers and
instruments while performing in the Plaza. The Public Works
Committee was to review the location for said canopy. The
proposed canopy is: 10'x15', royal blue, and would be removed
following each performance. The Parks Division recommends the
use of sleeves, permanently installed, "flush" with ground level,
to hold the canopy in place. The Committee recommends approval
of the canopy to include the aforementioned sleeves, and that the
use of guy wires or anything above -ground be prohibited.
CHAPIN LANE WATER LINE (LOT 2, MUMMY LANE SUBDIVISION) - REQUEST
TO EXTEND 2" MAIN.
Public Works Director Widmer presented a memorandum dated July
17th concerning the request to extend the 2" main from Chapin
Lane to serve Lot 2, Mummy Lane Subdivison. At the time a build-
ing permit was obtained, the owner of Lot 2, Mummy Lane Subdivi-
sion, was advised that the Municipal Code contained a provision

that the minimum size of all water main extensions would be 6".
This requirement has been adopted due to fire flow and adequate
water supply criterion. Discussion included four options
provided to the Committee by staff, which addressed a cost -share
plan, and future looping plans. The Committee recommends denial
of the 2" main extension, and that the applicant be allowed to
elect one of the following options: extend the water line from
Chapin Lane using a 6" line, or install a 6" water line from Big
Horn Drive down Mummy Lane in which the Town would participate on
a cost -share basis. The owner of Lot 1 could also be included in
the cost -sharing approach as the new water line would be of value
(fire protection) to the entire neighborhood.
Pursuant to his request, Chairman Aldrich excused Trustee Barker.
MOCCASIN STREET ALIGNMENT PROJECT - REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO
PLACE CONSTRUCTION TRAILER.
Director Widmer reported the contractor, Connell Resources, has
requested authorization to place a construction trailer pursuant
to Paragraph 14.08.020 of the Municipal Code, on the Williams'
Property located on Prospect Village Drive. The property owner
has given his permission for this use. The Committee recommends
approval of the request, for the duration of the project.

Reports for June, 1989.
Assistant Public Works Director Linnane briefed the Committee on
the seven projects currently underway with Rocky Mountain Consul-
tants, the Town's water consultant.
The interconnect project, tying the Carriage Hills and Town water
systems together, has been completed. The Committee commended
staff in their timely monitoring of the entire system.
The Public Works Department has eleven employees available to
assist the Fire Department in fire support services should the
need arise. Discussion on this subject will take place during
the Public Safety Committee meeting scheduled July 27th.
Director Widmer briefed the Committee on the Moccasin Street
Alignment Project, and Assistant Director Linnane reported on the
Health Department's monitoring of the landfill wells.
