Childs noted that SRF has performed studies on other City projects. however. the City is not bound to using them. He would anticipate that other engineering firms would most likely make similar recommendations as SRF had for this reconstruction project. Rebelein noted that she had raised concerns with SRF's original recommendations. Benke commented that because SRF would be working directly for the City and Council. the City would provide any direction needed to insure SRF is acting responsibly. Benke suggested that as part of the next step. a citizen advisory group should be created to work with staff and SRF to deal with the project's details. The City is committed to working with the Windsor Green residents as well as other residents along Silver Lake Road.
