Staff provided an overview of the proposed decision criteria for retaining walls encroaching onto City lands. The acceptable distance by which a wall may encroach upon City land was discussed as an additional criterion to be considered.
The City Manager presented the latest data from the Team Action Plan Dashboard and provided an overview of the significance of the data. He then responded to questions from Council and confirmed that the file will be made available to Council in a searchable, but secure, MS Excel format.
The City Manager prefaced the presentation from the Senior Project Engineer by noting that a comprehensive asset management plan will be available in the future to guide infrastructure maintenance and replacement. Brian Barnett, Senior Project Engineer, provided an update on the 2013 Capital Program with the aid of a PowerPoint Presentation, and explained that approximately $3.3 million could be transferred back to the reserve from projects that cannot be completed during 2014 for various reasons including undefined scope, resource limitations, and redundancy. Council requested clarification on the categories of projects that cannot be completed, noting that some projects appear to be miscategorised as ‘redundant’ when the issue is ‘undefined scope’.
