Capital Improvement Project Reports — Presentation, Discussion, and Possible Action: Updates were given: a. George Bush East Extension, Project No. ST -9916: The WPC TIF Board met to discuss the bridge options for the George Bush East extension which had been presented and discussed at the November, 2000 WPC Oversight Committee meeting. The TIF Board agreed to release funds to do the bridge as originally designed and bid out, therefore the bridge project can proceed. This item has been placed on the January 11, 2001 City Council agenda for review. b. Channel Improvements, Project No. SD -9901: This is for the upper end of the creek and is in the design phase. A contractor will go in and do some clearing to allow survey work to be done. c. Trails and Bridges, Project No. WP -9905: This is also underway. McClure Engineering is working on the trail designs for the upper and lower end. Preliminary trail designs for the lower end will probably be ready before the design for the upper end, because there is not as much brush to be cleared out. McClure Engineering should have a preliminary plan ready to present within thirty days. At that point the process of defining tracts of land for the dedication areas can begin. d. Tree Planting This project will affect the area referred to as the Riparian Restoration Project where the old lake site is. 24 -30 fairly large trees, such as cypress and water oaks, will be planted in that area. This will be a separate project that will be bid out to local landscape firms and should be completed within the next several months. The sites for those trees were approved when the drawings for the overall project were sent to the US Army Corp of Engineers last year. cleaned and stored shall be shielded, coated or otherwise shatter resistant.
