SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
This Ordinance amends the 2003 General Fund Budget for Street and Traffic Operations to
cover the expenditure of repairs due to unforeseen street failures. There have been areas
where the subgrade has failed creating large sinkholes or depressions in the street surface.
The largest failure to date is on Ahtanum near 26 Avenue. The westbound curb lane has
been closed to vehicle use since late winter. Appropriated funds will pay for contractor
services to repair Ahtanum and the purchase of raw materials for repairs that are to be
completed by Street Maintenance personnel.
The attached ordinance increases the Street and Traffic Operations Budget by $210,000.
