r . ^^CILMEETINq OCT 13 1997 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION OITYOFORONO DATE: October 10,1997 ITEM NO.^1 Department Approval: Name Ron Moorse Title City Administrator Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: City Administrator ’s Report Item Description: County Road 6 Tunnel Agreement with Spring Hill Country Club Background The plans for the Spring Hill Golf Course include a pedestrian underpass under County Road 6 to connect the north and south sections of the golf course. This underpass requires the installation of a box culvert under County Road 6. County approval of the culvert requires an agreement directly with the City regarding inspection and maintenance responsibilities, and liability regarding the culvert. The City has agreed to enter into this agreement with the County based on also entering into a similar agreement with the Spring Hill Golf Course, through which the City passes these responsibilities to the Spring Hill Golf Course. Status of Agreement The City Attorney is working with the Spring Hill Attorney to finalize the agreement between the City and the Spring Hill Golf Course. An outline of the agreement is attached. The final agreement will be provided at the Council meeting. Timing of Culvert Installation The Spring Hill Golf Course wants to install the culvert this fall to provide easy access between the north and south sections of the Golf Course next spring. Both the County and the City have concerns regarding disturbing County Road 6 in l.’-te October. It is important to avoid being unable to complete the repaving and be put in the position of making continuous repairs all winter. Staff believes it is important to discuss with the Spring Hill Golf Course whether the potential impact on productivity in the spring is worth the potential problems that would be caused to the road throughout the winter if the weather turns bad and the repaving cannot be completed. (Please see the attached memo from Greg Gappa.) Public Use of Underpass There has been discussion with Spring Hill Golf Course regarding the public use of the underpass during the off season. The underpass would provide a safe crossing of County Road 6 for those using the trail to be constructed adjacent to the golf course. The golf course manager was to review the underpass usage issue with the Spring Hill Board Members. He had not contacted staff at the time of this writing. The response of the Board will be brought to the Council meeting. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to approve/continue action on the County Road 6 tunnel agreement with the Spring Hill Golf Club.
