Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution will authorize a county project within the city limits to make roadway improvements on Fourth Street and Wallace Avenue. This resolution is a requirement for state aid approval of the county’s plans. This project will be constructed over two construction seasons. The first phase will include work between Sixth Avenue East and 14th Avenue East, with a cash incentive paid to the contractor if work is completed to 21st Avenue East in 2016. During the second construction season (2017) work will continue from where 2016 work stopped, and mill and overlay work on Wallace Avenue between Fourth Street and Arrowhead Road will take place. In order to complete the project in two years, and to comply with the Endangered Species Act, the county will begin tree removal this winter.
