Possible improvements to Territorial Prison Wall
City Administrator Hansen stated that staff has done additional studies on the Territorial Prison
wall and there are some problems that can't be ignored by the City or the developer. He
stated they met with the developer and came to the conclusion that what really needed to be
done would cost approximately $341,000 and only $25,000 was budgeted leaving $316,000,
the developer will pay for half the cost. He stated that if the work is not done all the public
improvements will be put in and then two years from now the City would have to go in and
work on the wall disturbing the improvements done on the project. He stated that the City has
some work that should be done on the upper wall at a cost of $50,000.
Public Works Director Eckles stated that the Barr Engineering report only addressed the
immediate threat and did not address making the wall last for 50 years. Staff went and
reviewed the wall and felt that more improvements should be made than was listed in the Barr
report. He stated that the base layer of the wall is always saturated and almost rotting, which
the Barr report didn't even address.
Councilmember Kriesel asked if there is concern of safety or make it aesthetically pleasing.

Mr. Eckles stated that the Barr report would just eliminate immediate threats which would
make it last a couple of years, but staff is concerned about when another block falls out or the
base layer deteriorates more.
City Administrator Hansen stated that this is new information and that when the developer's
agreement was done this information was not known so it is a new cost to the developer and to
the City.
Councilmember Kriesel is concerned that once the work starts there may be more costs
involved.
Mr. Hansen stated that if the wall would need repair in 20-30 years it would be a special
assessment to benefiting property owners but to do that now before people even move in the
developer would have a problem with their clients and the City would have a problem with the
citizens there.
Council member Rheinberger favored moving forward and approving the $200,000.
Council member Milbrandt expressed concern that the Barr Engineering Report gave bad
advice.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated he would like to see more information presented on the upper
wall before approving the expenditure for that.
Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger approving the $158,000 for the wall and $50,000 for
the upper wall. Motion failed for lack of second.
Motion by Council member Milbrandt, seconded by Council member Kriesel approved the
expenditure of $158,000 for the wall and directed staff to prepare additional information on the
upper wall. All in favor.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger, seconded by Council member Kriesel to adjourn the
meeting at 8:30 a.m.
