INTERSECTION OF 1ST AVE. W. & 18TH ST. - Purdy's Trailer Court Fence Mr. Larned has
repaired the fencing several times at Purdy's Trailer Court due to cars hitting the
fence. He expressed concern for tenant safety. The City has suggested a possible
solution of installing a guard rail. Mr. Larned requested the City to install a
guard rail at the intersection.
Street Supt. Brady stated a used guard rail is available in Missoula at a cost of
approximately $800.00.
Mr. Timmerick is willing to give eight feet of his property to the City for roadway
purposes in exchange for work done to square the remaining property.
The Committee agreed to pursue the project and requested the Public Works Staff to
estimate costs for street reconstruction and to incorporate a guard rail, change in
radius, or other form of protection into the project and report back to Committee
in two weeks.
BARRIER NEXT TO CATTLEMAN'S - 1ST AVE. W. The Committee agreed to address eliminating
access from The Cattleman's to 1st Ave. W. and incorporate this issue into the 1st
Ave. W. project for resolution.
• SOMERS PROJECT - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING Mayor Hopkins stated a memorandum of
understanding is standard practice for the State Highway Dept. when entering into a
project within a city limit jurisdiction in order to work with the governing agency
on points of concern. Surveyor Zavodny, Parks Director Baker, Chief Clark, and City
Attorney Neier have all reviewed and commented on the document. Based upon the
comments, the document was rewritten by the state and forwarded back for review and
approval.
C. Granmo moved to recommend to Council to authorize the Mayor to sign the Memorandum
of Understanding. C. Buck seconded and the motion carried with all in favor.
