A
Well,
good
afternoon,
everybody
thank
you
for
being
here
and
joining
us
both
in
person
and
are
we
doing
a
virtual
feed
on
this
too
fantastic?
So
that
is
great,
I
hope.
A
whole
bunch
of
people
are
tuning
in
right
now
to
commemorate
the
completion
of
the
Pikes
Peak
Reservoir.
A
You
see
surrounding
us
here
today
replacing
this
Reservoir
was
a
high
priority
project
for
the
city,
because
this
water
system
provides
essential
water
services
and
Fire
Protection
to
the
residents
here
in
Bridal
Trails
and
the
nearby
Pikes
Peak
and
Cherry
Crest,
neighborhoods
I,
hope
you've
had
an
opportunity
to
view
the
reservoir
and
the
project
progression
on
the
display
boards
here
and
on
the
city's
website.
It's
really
remarkable
to
see
the
work
done
by
so
many
to
advance
from
a
smaller
one
million
gallon
still
Reservoir
to
this
impressive
1.25
million
gallon
Reservoir
concrete
Reservoir.
A
That
will
require
less
maintenance
and
will
do
a
better
job
in
terms
of
withstanding
a
potential
earthquake.
So
thank
you
to
the
Bellevue
utilities.
A
number
of
you
here
today.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
efforts,
your
planning,
your
design,
your
construction
partners
and
a
big
thanks
to
our
community
for
coming
together
to
make
this
much
needed
project
happen
in
our
city.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
introduce
Deputy
city
manager,
Nathan
mcconnin
for
a
few
remarks
as
well.
But
again,
thank
you
for
all
being
here.
B
Well,
it
is
truly
a
pleasure
to
be
here
with
everyone
and
celebrate.
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor
for
those
good
words.
I
want
to
take
a
brief
moment
to
thank
everyone
who
came
together
to
plan
design
and
construct
such
a
valuable
resource
for
this
city.
The
project
team
ensured
that
that
we'll
be
looking
forward
and
planning
for
for
the
extended
future
of
Bellevue.
The
new
Reservoir
will
serve
our
residents.
Waters
needs
for
generations
to
come,
and
that
wasn't
an
easy
task.
As
you
know,
I
think
is
represented
by
the
people
here
today.
B
It
was
completed
through
the
collaborative
and
combined
efforts
of
the
community.
Advisory
Group
and
I
see
many
faces
of
that
group
here
today.
The
utilities
team,
the
Environmental
Services
Commission
seated
behind
me
here-
are
a
couple
Representatives
at
the
Bellevue
city
council
and,
of
course,
City
Administration
and
on
behalf
of
city
manager,
Brad
Miyake.
Thank
you
to
everyone
who
gave
your
effort
to
bring
us
to
this
moment
today.
B
We're
excited
to
unveil
the
new
Pikes
Peak
Reservoir,
that's
hard
to
say
by
the
way
and
I'm
going
to
leave
you
with
one
thought
that
the
deputy
mayor
touched
on
that
I
discovered
during
this
whole
process
and
that
it's
made
of
concrete
and
that's
actually
a
really
practical
feature
because
it's
not
painted.
Nor
will
it
need
to
be
repainted,
which
means
the
maintenance
Crews.
Don't
have
to
come
in
here
that
often,
which
leaves
the
people
who
are
using
the
park
in
peace
and
the
people
who
live
around
the
reservoir.
In
Peace
So.
B
It's
a
it's
a
a
really
smart
engineering
choice
to
get
it
to
this
point
today
and
I
appreciate
the
Project's
team's
awareness
of
our
responsibility
to
the
community
and
their
thoughtful
attention
to
every
stage
of
the
replacement
project.
So
with
that,
let
me
pass
it
over
to
navotal
our
utilities
director,
who
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
the
project
team.
C
Thank
you,
I,
don't
know
if
it
can
go
as
low
as
it
needs
to,
but
I
hope
you
can
hear
me.
Welcome.
Welcome
to
this
ribbon.
Cutting
and
opening
ceremony
for
this
Reservoir
I
will
tell
you
that
utilities
doesn't
get
this
opportunity
very
often
because
most
of
our
infrastructure
is
buried
in
underground.
So
we
Embrace
this
and
I
really
appreciate
everybody
being
here,
and
utilities
has
a
lot
of
infrastructure.
C
It's
just
that
most
of
it's
not
visible,
and
we
have
a
pretty
strong,
robust
plan
for
how
we
take
care
of
the
infrastructure
when
we
replace
it
or
rehab
it,
and
we
call
it
an
our
asset
management
program.
So
this
project
has
been
on
the
books
for
a
number
of
years,
and
it's
interesting
that
it
had
multiple
drivers.
Not
only
was
the
old
Reservoir
getting
old,
but
it
was
undersized.
We
needed
more
for
just
not
only
regular
capacity,
but
fire
flow,
and
the
third
driver
was
seismic.
It
was
this.
C
C
I
will
tell
you
that
I
myself
have
worked
with
the
community
for
almost
10
years
on
this,
and
and
the
active
project
has
taken
seven
years
and
10
million
dollars
almost
10
million
dollars.
So
it's
a
very
significant
investment
for
us
as
a
department
as
a
utility
and
I
really
appreciate.
The
council
support
the
city
manager,
support
and
the
commission
support
in
getting
this
project
done,
and
it's
taken
a
lot
of
people
hard
work
from
a
lot
of
different
individuals
to
make
sure
that
this
project
was
success.
Successful.
C
So
let
me
just
take
a
minute
to
just
acknowledge
some
of
the
team
players,
team
and
teams
members
and
it's
a
lot
of
number
of
folks
to
recognize.
I
want
to
start
with
the
utility
staff
under
Jay
Hummel,
the
project,
manager's
guidance
and
Rick
Peterson,
our
construction
inspector,
our
tennis,
Artemis,
zafari
construction,
engineer
him
nagoon,
construction
supervisor
and
Doug
Lane,
a
Planning
Engineer,
and
then
we
contracted
with
a
consular
engineers
and
had
Nathan
rosted
and
Tom
Lindberg
from
Consular
engineers
and
doing
the
design
for
this
project.
C
There
was
a
fair
bit
of
Outreach,
as
the
community
well
knows,
and
that
is
actually
that
was
pivotal
in
the
success
of
this
project.
Was
the
community
outreach
and
that
a
collaboration
we
had
and
I
want
to
thank
Enviro
issues
and
with
the
John
John
Cheney
as
the
the
main
project
manager?
Thank
you
John
and
finally,
we're
not
not
last,
but
the
people
who
actually
did
the
construction
and
that
is
Harbor
Pacific
contractors
with
Jason
Garner
as
the
project
manager.
So
thank
you.
This
has
been.
C
This
is
our
pride
and
joy
and
and
I
I
just
feel
like.
We
did
a
great
project
with
the
As
and
minimize
the
disruption
to
the
neighbors
as
much
as
we
could
and
I.
How
could
I
forget
to
thank
the
neighbors,
especially
the
ones
that
are
right
around
the
project
side?
Their
lives
have
been
impacted
with
the
traffic
and
the
noise
around
here
and
I
just
appreciate
your
patience.
Thank
you.
A
C
D
Whoa
thanks
not
that
certainly
is
a
career.
Indie
move
and
she's
actually
doing
it
voluntarily.
So
I
don't
know
what
everybody
knows
we'll
be
missing
her
very
much
so
so.
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
her,
and
this
is
a
real
good
example
of
what
Bellevue
is.
It's
amazing,
Bellevue
city
in
Wales,
big
urban
city
now,
and
we
are
still
environment
like
this
in
the
middle
of
the
city.
D
D
We
said
that
we
value
diversity
changes,
but
we,
however,
respect
our
past
I
think
this
is
what
we
are
doing,
and
it's
just
amazing,
and
so
you
know,
as
a
citizen
elected
representative,
you
know,
as
a
city
council
member
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
represent
the
residents.
The
people
who
live
here
that
we
do
have
a
wonderful
end
of
a
city,
a
wonderful
community.
So
the
work
we're
doing
here
is
very
memorable
and
it's,
however,
it's
not
easy.
We
have
to
work
hard
like
it's
been
done
in
the
fall.
D
This
project
is
a
good
example
and
I
want
to
also
on
behalf
of
the
environmental
commission.
That
is
a
very
group
of
dedicated
people.
You
know,
after
30
years
on
the
console
I've
never
served
on
I
serve
on
almost
all
the
Committees
there's
liaison
to
everyone
except
environmental
Commission,
because
this
is
a
group
of
a
a.
D
D
So
I
think
I
want
again
compliment
and
also
it
doesn't
happen,
as
the
people
supporting
it,
which
is
environmental
condition
and
I,
was
really
very,
very
impressed
when
I
finally
had
a
chance
to
serve
as
the
liaison
from
the
city,
and
before
me
the
deputy
Mill
was
the
liaison,
so
he
didn't
know
what
he
gave
up
and
I
took
over
and
I
really
became
so
much
appreciate
what
utility
department
do
and
all
the
people
that
works
for
the
utility
department
and
also
you
know
because
they
serve
the
community
so
well
and
I
was
finally
I
also
want
to
mention.
D
We
have
a
council
member
Janice
on
with
us
she's
also
a
Citizens
representative.
So,
thank
you,
and
so
we
have
sent
everybody
already,
but
I
just
want
to
emphasize
the
game
that
the
project
team
you
know,
did
a
wonderful
job.
This
is
a
not
easy
job,
as
you
can
see,
and
also
the
community
for
the
critical
role
without
the
community
support.
D
You
know
this
project
will
not
be
here
from
inception
from
inception
conception
to
completion
and
projects
like
this
doesn't
happen
without
Community
involvement,
the
community
Advisory
Group
was
made
up
of
more
than
15
Caring
community
members
dedicated
to
this
project.
They
care
about
their
neighborhoods,
they
care
about
their
park
and
they
care
about
the
city's
water
infrastructure.
You'll
notice,
there's
a
display
board
in
the
name
of
each
member
of
the
community
Advisory
Group
listed.
D
We
thank
each
of
you
for
your
invaluable
contribution
for
those
of
you
watching
online.
These
names
are
also
listed
on
the
city's
website.
Just
search
Pikes,
Peak
Reservoir
also
I
want
to
thank
and
knowledge.
One
name,
particularly
on
the
board,
which
is
Alice
Prince,
who
was
with
the
bridal,
chose,
give
her
a
big
hand
yeah.
She
is
with
a
bridal
chose,
Community
Club.
Unfortunately,
she
has
passed
in
December
of
2021.
She
was
very
involved
and
sourceful
member
of
this
community
Advisory
Group.
D
We
are
grateful
for
her
contributions
and
know
she
will
be
so
pleased
that
the
reservoir
was
completed,
so
we're
going
to
again
give
a
big
hand
acknowledge,
recognize
and
remember
her.
So
thank
you
again
to
all
of
the
community
groups
and
residents
for
your
Insight
and
contribution
because
of
you.
The
best
decisions
was
made
to
build
this
new,
more
reliable
Reservoir
right
here
in
the
same
footprint
of
the
old
Reservoir.
Now
it's
time
for
us
to
celebrate
and
thank
you
all
and
we
are
ready
for
the
ribbon,
cutting
and
commemorate
this
moment.
Thank
you.
