PUBLIC WORKS 01-11-17
Keith Browning, Director of Public Works, asked the Commission to consider an increase in the Dust Palliative Program for 2017 to help absorb an increase in materials.
As in the past, staff recommended soliciting alternate bids for both magnesium chloride and calcium chloride, as it has been determined that both treatments are effective. The 2017 Road and Bridge Fund 201 includes funds to treat approximately 13 miles of rock roads. Rock road sections, which have been previously stabilized, require annual palliative treatment to minimize the dust. There are also road sections requiring dust palliative due to safety concerns of limited visibility.
Browning proposed the following: Permission to continue brokerage of a user-fee dust palliative program with 2017 user fees set a $1.45/linear foot ($1.05/l.f. for dust palliative material and water, and an additional $0.40/l.f. user fee to cover road preparation costs), plus an administrative fee of $60.00 per applicant, plus a late fee of $15.00 per application submitted after the deadline. Also, permission to advertise for bidders once the application process has been completed.
Thellman asked how the public learns about the Dust Palliative program. Browning responded if a resident used the program in the past three years, staff sends out a notice. There is information on the Douglas County website and Browning said there will be a story in the Journal World.
After discussion, Thellman moved to approve the continuation of brokerage of a user-fee dust palliative program with 2017 user fees set at $1.45/linear foot ($1.05/l.f. for dust palliative material and water, and an additional $0.40/l.f. user fee to cover road preparation costs), plus an administrative fee of $60.00 per applicant, plus a late fee of $15.00 per application submitted after the deadline; and for staff to advertise for bidders once the application process has been completed. Motion was seconded by Gaughan and carried 3-0.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE 01-11-17
Gaughan moved to approve accounts payable in the amounts of $64,310.00 paid on 01/06/17, and $548,810.17 to be paid on 01/12/17. Motion was seconded by Thellman and carried 3-0.
