- APPROVING AN ADDENDUM TO THE 2019 WHITE PARK LICENSE AGREEMENT
At the recommendation of the City Manager, this Addendum to the 2019 White Park License Agreement between the City, MUB and BOPARC would allow for changes to the original trail route recommended by the trail designer and establishes a competitive bidding process to complete the tree replanting obligations. The Addendum addresses two primary concerns that arose since the signing of the White Park License Agreement in 2019. The first, was that the initial design of the trail that was in the 2019 License Agreement needed adjustment. This was determined once MUB had completed its work and the terrain was inspected. With the assistance of a trail designer and guidance from the West Virginia University Outdoor Economic Development Collaborative, adjustments were made to the original trail to accommodate the site. Second, the Morgantown Tree Board recommended replanting trees over an extended period of time due to the number of trees involved and necessity for finding appropriate locations. The Addendum calls for the replacement of the trees to be competitively bid out to ensure the best price and allow replanting to occur over time. - REVIEWING THE ANNUAL PAVING LIST FOR 2022
At the recommendation of the Director of Engineering and Public Works, the City Manager will discuss the list of city streets included in the city's 2022 Paving Plan.
