City Council - Regular Meeting

Yes. And maybe this is more for Laura. So I know we purchased that machine that does like a four foot asphalt. How's that? Is that even factored here? Because I know it's taking some streets that have some of that cracking on the sides and they look great and it's extending the life. But I don't know, is that tied to this somehow or?

So it might not be reflected. It's not reflected in this.

That's the... Yes, and maybe just to follow up, because we haven't had that for a long time. So what would be... It'd be nice to find out, like, the impact, because if it's not necessarily calculated with the dollars, what's the impact to the CPI in the next five, projected 10 years? Got it. Because I don't know how much it does in a year. No.

Thank you. I have more of like a methodology question. This might be for Megan. When you're factoring like aging of pavement conditions, is this like a static kind of method or do you fix it on like the amount of salt used, the amount of traffic? Is it like customized to like the geography of where you're studying or is it more just a broad-based pavement ages at X rate?

I just want to thank Milena for all of your work on the project, but specifically how much active listening you did with the community, whether it was a comprehensive plan public meeting or the walk audit. I very much enjoyed the walk audit. I know we have residents here tonight that joined us as well. I hope that as we continue to look at the east end that staff will also Kind of continue that momentum that you've built in reaching out to our residents as they look at this project and those plans. And then my question for staff would be, is there an opportunity in the near future to share Mel

Mr. Stiles? I believe those restrooms have exterior access. I think they're like outdoor doors. I have the same concern, but I feel like it's Street View, at least from whenever that was taken.

Mr. Macias. Yeah, and isn't there a hotel right by there, too? So you might have some visitors that want to go out for a drink that could also partake and not go too far. They could walk there, so.

Anything further, Mr. Macias? This is real simple. You mentioned typos. I found a couple, but I don't know if this is the time to fix them, the real minor ones. But on page four of this document, section two, number of tobacco dealer's license, doesn't have a period, but then the next, the second sentence, the total number of Class B tobacco dealers license, there's a lowercase D before the uppercase D. That's it.

Mr. Macias? So then it would come to council for us to approve. Each time? Each time, just like all the other ones. Was that the original intention? I guess I'm not 100% sure, but I'm okay with it to hear about it.

Is the construction over by the old beer stew, the overpass, are they going to be taking a break around that time before that? Do you know? Ms. Clower.

Do you know when it might be? November 21st. I don't know, November 21st.

Yeah, this is, I try to take this every single day to go to work. And when I'm stopped at a light, I'm always thinking, could there be these flower pots? Could there be this? All the time. And I also go to Iowa City and a lot of cities in Iowa that have spent some pretty good money just making their cities look great. And it is like the first thing you see and you get this different perception when you go to those towns as opposed to every morning when I try and take a turn there and it just looks like... It's not going anywhere. So it does send a signal that we're willing to invest, not only

IDOT is very slow. Are we looking to vote on one of these designs?

Gotcha. I like the waves as well. If you're asking for my vote, those two fences I do not like. I like the previous slide. This one? Alder, Burson, Schmidt there, yes. That's my preference if we're voting.

I would just like to take a moment to recognize the responsibility that we all share as public servants and community members. I'm grateful for everybody here, the staff, all of us sitting around the table here. We give our time, our talent, just because we want to make our community safe, healthy, and financially sound. We approach our decisions with our wisdom, integrity, respect each other, and we always remember that it affects families, neighbors, businesses, and people who call Moline home. I also ask our residents that realize that we are human beings with families and aspirations just

Tomorrow, Big Brothers Big Sisters is hosting the Sylvan Island Trail Cleanup, where I will be delivering a proclamation for Big Brothers Big Sisters Month. And that's all I have.

Nothing, Your Honor. Okay. Nothing, Your Honor.

I believe that you would meet at a designated meeting point near Center Station. I think that probably won't work given this situation maybe. But then it's a matter of getting people to the relay points. So it's not so much that it's going to be circulating around here. It's going to be carting people from a main meeting point to Mile 7 or Mile 9 or wherever it is they pick up.
