AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Public Works Design Standards and Authorizing City
Engineer to Make Changes
MEETING DATE: March 6, 2019
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving Public Works Design Standards and
authorizing City Engineer to make changes.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Works Department maintains the City's Public
Improvement Design Standards. These standards are generally
used by private engineers for new developments and include
minimum design requirements for the City's public infrastructure, such as streets and water, wastewater,
and storm water systems. The design standards were last updated in May 1991; however, staff could not
find evidence of their formal adoption by Council.
While the City's design standards remain applicable for long periods of time, there are cases where
modifications are needed. If approved, this Council action formally adopts the May 1991 update and
authorize the City Engineer to make appropriate changes. The Public Works Design Standards are on file
in the Public Works Department.
Staff recommends approving Public Works Design Standards and authorizing City Engineer to make
changes.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
