Summary of Highway 12 Meetiag Kelley Pa. kway and CNd Crystal Bay Road Friday. October 3.2003 1:00 p.m. Moorse said the hauling needs to be shut down at 2:00 p.m. before the school miflic starts, and it can't restart because it's Homecoming at the school. There will be too much trafllc; it will be unsafe. The McCrossen representative asked what will happen next week. Moorse said there will be no hauling from 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and from 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. A1 Madson said they can't make that work with their truckers. The McCrossen representative asked what had changed from the time Landform was hauling in fill to now. He said Landform had as many trucks hauling per hour as Ames has, and no one mentioned that it was a problem. He said he thinks someone is mad at someone, and that the feud should not be brought to the Landform job. Moorse indicated he is right that someone is mad at someone. The City is mad at Ames for telling us one thing and doing another and for not giving us any advance notice. Moorse indicated he didn't believe there had ever been nearly as much traffic coming to Landform as Ames is now bringing to Old Crystal Bay Road and Kelley Paricway. There is going to be a big traffic mess. Greg Gappa indicated the lack of notice didn't allow the City to do any planning such as posting Kelley Parkway for no parking. Stephany Good indicated the Police Department has a concern about not being able to get out of the Police Department lot for emergency calls. The McCrossen representative indicated he is ok with stopping hauling at 2:00 p.m. today but doesn ’t want this to be a precedent. Moorse indicated he doesn ’t want today to set a precedent of Ames telling the City one thing and doing another, particularly without any notice. Lucas Smith indicated that if there is a traffic mess that doesn't allow the contractor to be productive, the contractor will have an interest in making a change. Moorse indicated the contractor can start hauling on Monday at 7:00 .m., but that representatives of Mn/DOT and Ames and the City should Im at Kelley Parkway and Old Crystal Bay Road at 7:30 a.m. to see whether there is a traffic mess. If there is a mess, the contractor will have to make changes in the hauling plan and schedule in the morning and afternoon. A1 Madson gave Moorse his card and told him to call him if he had any more conccms. Page 2 of 2 i
