CITY ADMINISTRATOR City Administrator Greg Mills reminded the Board that in 2013 they approved a service contract with the Riverside Chamber of Commerce for an office in the court area of city hall. The Chamber now has a new director and they would like to have office space within city hall once again. We would need to renew the contract and agreement and decide what office space is available. The office is not to be in the court area. General consensus of the Board was given directing the City Administrator and City Attorney Campo to move forward with the service agreement. Just a reminder, that we will have a special meeting on Saturday morning, beginning with a closed session, open session to pass the ordinances that were pulled from the agenda this evening and then a strategic planning workshop for the Board. The final item to discuss is the City and NorthPoint Partnership Account. Hoover suggested a possible option of putting in a new weir and plastic liner. Brent Miles with NorthPoint added information. Following discussion the Board was in agreement to exclude the clay liner from the 635 lake and to look at options on the canal area leading into the lake currently designed for riprap. There will be the need to de-water and staff will come back to the Board to discuss that concern before proceeding. Our intention will be to complete this project with the budgeted amount available.
