(10)Resolution:Approving the ordering of detailed plans,specifications,notice of
hearing,notice to bidders and form of contract for the Warrior Lane Sidewalk and
Storm Sewer Improvements Mike Watts moved to approve.Don Bailey,Jr.second.
Discussion as to the cost and design of the project.Mik Briedis stated the bulk of the
cost is in the storm sewer.It is the intent of the engineer and city staff that the storm
sewer in this portion of Warrior Lane would help to drain up-to the first block west of
Warrior Lane.Although the storm sewer is an expensive portion ofthis sidewalk,the
cost of the storm sewer,if completed now,would not be part of a reconstruction of
Warrior Lane which would include curb,intakes and storm sewer.Council members
Don Bailey and Mike Watts felt this was not a wise use of City funds at this time.
Council member Bailey would prefer to put-in a side walk along Ashworth Drive.
Council member Watts indicated that sidewalks were not in place along all of Warrior
Lane from Highway 6 thereby resulting in residents crossing the street to walk on a
sidewalk or to cross the five corner intersection.Joe Schmidt,2806 W Avenue,reminded
the council that the Library hied for about a year to get an easement through someone's
yard on the west side of the Library lot,which never occurred.The consensus of the

Pointe fits with the surrounding area.All council members would appreciate having the
big picture before or at the initial stages of a development;so that each individual plat
could be viewed as part of the whole.Nick Gruber moved to approve the preliminary
