Session 1480, Minutes November 7, 1988 Page 8 the easiest thing to do was to build a new bridge, but that cost $200,000 or more, and was not thought to be necessary with the Chamberlain bridge. The engineering firm ought to be able to discern what needs to be done, and that was why he was making this recxrmnendation. However, he pointed out that with bridge work, it cannot always be determined until after work is started how extensive repairs will need to be. Mrs. Schuman suggested that if a similar situation developed with the Chamber- lain Alley bridge as happened with the Kempland bridge, it would be desirable to inform the closest neighborhoods of the reasons for the delay in reopening the bridge. Mr. 011endorff asked Director of Public Works Allen Dieckgraefe to cmment. Mr. Dieckgraefe said the Kempland bridge would certainly be open in about two weeks, although there would still be some peripheral work, such as installa- tion of curbs, driveways, etc. He said the Chamberlain bridge problem was to- tally different frczn that of the Kempland bridge, because, in addition to the discovery that there was more damage to the Kempland bridge than originally estimated, work was delayed considerably because of having to get several dif- ferent approvals from the state, which paid 80% of the costs. Mr. Schooner called the question, and all voted Aye. The Personnel report for the week ending Navember 5, 1988, was received and ordered filed. None.
