CITY OF
PICKERINGTON
SERVICE COMMITTEE
OF COUNCIL
CITY HALL, 100
LOCKVILLE ROAD
SPECIAL MEETING
AGENDA
7:00 P.M.
1. ROLL CALL. Mr. Hackworth called the Service Committee to order at 7:00 P.M., with Mr. Parker, Mr. Hackworth, and Mr. O’Brien present. No members were absent. Others present were Judy Gilleland, Lynda Yartin, Ed Drobina, and others.
2. SCHEDULED MATTERS:
A. Review and request for motion to select Courtright Road Extension alignment. Ms Gilleland stated staff supports Option C as the preferred alignment. She stated this option was shown in the original Transportation Improvement Plan and it makes more sense in terms of engineering and planning, and the bulk of the C alignment is currently in the City limits. She further stated there are many unknowns in the B alignment in costs that just cannot be accounted for at this time. She stated those costs could be very much in excess of the price difference between the two. She stated Option C also divides and splits less properties. Ms Gilleland stated for those reasons staff would recommend we continue to pursue Option C. She stated we will continue to negotiate with Virginia Homes, and we need to look at their plans, their layouts, continue to question the number of lots lost to see if we can come up with better ideas, and tweak those numbers to reduce the overall cost of the project. Ms Gilleland stated if the Committee is okay with staff continuing to pursue Option C, we will do that and work with Virginia Homes and come up with a final cost. Mr. Hackworth stated he liked Option C as it lined up closely to going straight into Stemen Road, and the fact that most of the property we would need to acquire right-of-way from is currently in the City. Mr. Hackworth stated he would also support Option C. Mr. Hackworth moved to recommend staff and the engineer continue to pursue Option C for the Courtright Road Extension alignment; Mr. O’Brien seconded the motion. Roll call was taken with Mr. O’Brien, Mr. Hackworth, and Mr. Parker voting “Yea.” Motion passed, 3-0.
3. ADJOURNMENT. There being nothing further, Mr. Parker moved to adjourn; Mr. Hackworth seconded the motion. Mr. Hackworth, Mr. O’Brien, and Mr. Parker voted “Aye.” Motion carried, 3-0. The Special Service Committee meeting adjourned at 7:18 P.M., August 2, 2005.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
