Recommended for approval · 6-0
Assistant City Engineer Kelvin Smith presented a single engineering standards document for all development, consolidating code sections, adding a city addendum to APWA standard specifications and updated standard plans and guidelines (intersection design, sight distance, spacing). He said it is primarily a restructuring. Commissioners asked that references cite the current edition of the APWA manual rather than 2025 and that the documents be easy to search online.
