Also present were, David Blackburn, City Administrator, Louise Rusick, City Clerk, Chief Wylie Simpson, John Jackson, City Engineer, Brent Miles, Planning & Zoning and Community Development Coordinator and Ben Prell, City Attorney's office. Discussion regarding Jason Davis, Affinis and Bob Dimmitt, Corps of Engineers was present to the W. Platte Rd. Bridge speak regarding the W. Platte Road Bridge in relation to the levee. Mr. Davis in relation to the levee said there are two options regarding the bridge. Option #1 the tangent goes to the N. alignment and 265' in length at a cost of $3.2 million and Option #2, 230' long and a cost of $3 million. Jason explained the plan view of the proposals. There would be a 20' high retainage wall because of the tight construction of the surrounding buildings. Mayor Burch said the W. Platte Bridge was built in 1922. It was rated a 10 and from 1993 to 2003 rated a #7 and now a #6. There is a crack near the foundation, but resurfacing could be done and the side fixed where an automobile took out a portion. It looks as though cleats from a heavy vehicle may have made indentions in the bridge. Bob Dimmitt passed out information to the board regarding concerns about the bridge. Line creek is a flashy flood stream and to make any closure with dirt quickly during a flood would be impossible. The Corps of Engineers will not agree to leave a gap in the levee and closing with earth. They stated leaving the bridge in place, it would catch debris and restrict the channel flow and back water upstream. He said the project was designed with the bridge to be taken out. A limited re-evaluation report would have to be done and the sponsor would pay for this. It is to late to do this change. It is not known how this is going to affect the flood plain with the channel open. The cost for a rolling gate closure will be $900,000 and is needed because of the rapid Line Creek. The Corps Attorney wants a "Hold Harmless Indemnification Agreement" if the bridge is left in place because it may cause flooding up stream. The Corps would like to see a hydraulic study on the low level bridge. The suggestion is to take the bridge out and Affinis design a new one. A pre- stress with a concrete truss would last about thirty years, maybe more. A through truss-prefabricated would last about thirty years with higher maintenance.
