5. City Staff Liaison Update.
a. Quick update on S. 8a'Avenue boulevard discussion at Commission
➢ Bristor informed the Beautification Board that the Commission brought up
S. 8"'Avenue boulevard discussion at a recent Public Works goal session
(February 22, 2011 public hearing)
➢ Water line in S. 8"'Avenue is being replaced this summer (sewer line is in the
alleys and not being replaced); S. 8"'will be dug up for water line project and
patched over;water main lies on the western edge of the southbound lane of
S. 8"' and has had several leaks in past years and in very poor shape and
needs to be replaced; replacement of water line will take one entire
construction summer
➢ Estimated 2 million to redo all pavement and curbing on S. 8"'; can't afford
to repave entire street and redo curbing this current budget year (haven't
figure out a way to fund that larger project);might open up City for ridicule
because only part of S. 8"'will become covered in new pavement after water
line project; don't know if able to use urban funds for the larger S.8"'project;
haven't looked at the SID possibility; question of how S. 8"' compares to
other identified street maintenance projects: Kagy, College and Baxter Lane;
individual service lines cross the central median/boulevard on S. 8"';when
City gets to the design of the S. 8"'paving/curbing project,will likely follow
the design pattern MSU created farther south (median/boulevard can
become more narrow, add bike lanes)
➢ Some commissioners were under the impression that when water line
replaced,the entire curb and pavement project on S. 8"'would occur
➢ Commissioners directed Public Works staff to figure out a funding solution
for S. 8"'by the goal discussion next year (for a project in fiscal year 2012-13)

➢ Once the full paving and curbing project approved for S. 8"',Beautification
Board can get involved with boulevard beautification project;think about
ways to beautify the boulevard that wouldn't require irrigation (art sculpture);
Board members would love to see MSU partner with the City on a
beautification project of S. 8"'
