Ok,
so
you
know
City
Council,
we
kind
of
work
with
the
development
of
the
CIP
as
staff
members,
and
then
council
eventually
approves
that
CIP
in
our
budget
and
identifies
locations
for
street
improvements.
Utility
improvements
once
those
are
identified,
a
staff
will
work
on
those,
whether
its
in-house
design.
We
have
a
couple
CAD
text
on
staff.
B
We
either
work
on
those
due
to
the
determine,
if
they're
able
to
work
on
those
at
in-house
on
the
complexity
of
the
project
or
if
we
have
to
actually
hire
a
consulting
firm
to
kind
of
help
us
with
that
complexity
of
the
project.
So
once
we
kind
of
establish
that
and
how
we're
going
to
go
about
that
process,
we
instantly
hit
the
ground
running,
trying
to
get
that
public
involvement,
adjacent
property
owners
right.
Is
it
residences
and
business
owners
just
trying
to
get
their
input
so
they're,
aware
of
the
project?
A
B
A
Then
you
host
a
meeting,
which
I
think
is
great.
That's
when
you
can
really
get
the
dialogue
going
and
that's
when
people
who
have
special
accessibility
needs
can
talk
to
you
about
a
project
who
have
specific
ideas
on
maybe
what
needs
to
be
improved
or
what's
problematic
about
their
neighborhood
can
really
share
those
concerns
with
you
exactly.
B
You
know
that's
the
opportune
time
when
we're
going
through
the
design
of
the
project,
we're
able
to
incorporate
those
issues
that
we're
not
fully
aware
of
they.
These
residents
are
living
there
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
so
they
they
see
problems
that
we
may
not
even
know
of,
and
so
we
asked
for
them
to
bring
those
to
our
attention
and
then
we
can
address
those
properly
so
yep.
B
It's
it's
very
key
to
have
those
meetings
as
well
and
just
kind
of
introduce
ourselves
and
get
to
know
the
residents
and
they
get
to
know
us
and
feel
comfortable
with
us
in
the
project,
eventually
with
the
goal
of
having
that
ownership
in
the
project
as
well.
Since
they
add
some
vital
information
and
input,
do
it
so.
A
For
example,
if
you
lived
up,
north
24th
street
is
a
fairly
well
driven
street
and
I
think
it's
your
meeting.
We
talked
about
this.
This
idea
that
we
threw
out
some
ideas
of
maybe
experimenting
with
some
different
kind
of
street
designs
and
the
feedback
from
the
neighbors
was
one
they
had
gotten
some
misinformation
and
but
also
understanding
the
role
the
parking
played
on
that
street
was
really
important.
Yeah.
B
I
mean
we
just
try
to
answer
questions
and
clarify
information
that
we
send
out.
Sometimes
it's
it's
just
miscommunicated,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
aware
what
the
project
is
going
to
entail
and,
like
you
said
there
was
a
question
on
whether
parking
was
going
to
stay
or
not
currently,
there's
parking
on
both
sides
on
24
Street.
It's
a
two-lane
arterial
Street
here
in
town,
so
heavily
heavy
traffic,
and
so
the
goal
was
actually
to
look
at
water
quality
improvements
to
the
project,
not
necessarily
change
any
of
the
parking
or
whatnot.
B
A
Talk
a
little
bit
about
that,
because
that
was
interesting
again.
Our
waterway.
Our
street
act
is
a
water
conveyance
system,
a
lot
of
parked
cars
on
the
streets.
Can
they
have
a
lot
of
oil
and
drippings,
and
that
goes
right
into
the
storm
sewers
I
thought
the
street
plans
for
twenty
fourth
Street
were
really
innovative.
They
had
some
little
bump
out
these.
B
Bump-Outs,
we
call
them
kind
of
water
retention
areas
allow
that
storm
water,
that's
running
down
the
street.
You
know
picking
up
that
soil
debris
or
whatnot
drippings
from
your
car
and
kind
of
gives
it
an
opportunity
for
that
water
to
infiltrate
into
the
soil
through
a
natural
process
instead
of
directly
piping
it
to
our
storm
system,
which
eventually
goes
directly
to
our
rivers
and
streams.
Hence
the
concept
of
improving
the
water
quality
from
that
and
is.
B
Exactly
we,
we
kind
of
feel
like
city
of
ames.
We
want
to
implement
that
into
our
projects.
We
require
that
for
our
developers
to
do
that
with
any
site
development
that
they
do
as
a
private
developer,
so
we
basically
want
to
practice
what
we
preach.
You
know,
so
we
we
look
at
those
opportunities
on
all
of
our
street
projects
from
here
on
out.
Where
are
there
basically
low-hanging
fruit
opportunities
to
implement
those?
Well.
B
B
Basically,
it's
actually
a
dead-end
street,
it's
primarily
the
access
for
Super
Walmart
and
in
a
primary
access
for
sports
authority.
Petco
pizza
hut
advanced,
auto
there
as
well
as
entire
care.
So
primarily
it's
it's
a
heavy
commercial
focused
area,
mostly
businesses,
so
they
will
be
the
most
impacted,
as
well
as
the
overall
users
of
those
businesses.
So
basically
that
project
is
going
to
entail,
as
you
said,
the
perimeters
from
self
Duff
to
the
east,
doing
a
crack
and
seat
treatment
of
that
payment
and
then
doing
an
asphalt
overlay
on
that
pavement.
B
No,
because
of
just
basically
it's
the
primary
access
for
those
businesses
and
closing
them
down
is
not
something
that
they
are
wanting
to
see
so
we're
trying
to
be
accommodating
as
we
can.
Yes,
there
may
be
a
temporary
kind
of
restriction
an
hour
or
so
or
more,
but
we
definitely
do
provide
notice
to
those
businesses
of
when
that's
going
to
happen
and
then
work
with
them
on
kind
of
when
it
when's
an
opportune
time
during
their
business
schedule
to
do
those.
If
we
had
to
limit
you
on
access
so
well,.
B
I
we
understand
that
inconvenience
and
we
do
appreciate
everyone
working
with
us
on
trying
to
make
it
as
successful
project
as
we
can
yes,
road
construction
is,
it
is
a
headache
and
an
eyesore
at
times,
but
the
final
product,
I
think,
is
well
worth
it
and
it
gets
kind
of
a
much
better,
curb
appeal
to
the
businesses
and
property
owners.
So
so.
A
B
If
it's
not
myself,
if
it's
another
staff
member
in
our
department
for
that
project
and
just
kind
of
gives
them
a
basically
a
timeline
of
when
that
project
and
is
going
to
be
let
for
bid
for
bidders
to
put
bid
on
that,
then
we
award
it
and
eventually
we
will
start
construction.
So
it's
just
kind
of
information.
