REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE <br /> By: Public Works Staff <br /> <br />CASE #: <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, January 16, 2001 and discussed the <br />fbllowing three cases: <br /> <br />Case #1:2001 Street Maintenance Program <br /> <br />Staff presented the proposed program for the 2001 Street Maintenance Program. The <br />2001 program will consist of eleven crack sealing/seal coat projects covering 14.3 miles <br />of City streets and seven overlay projects covering 5.4 miles of City streets. The cost of <br />the program is projected to be $405,417 with $143,313 in seal coating projects and <br />$262,104 in overlay projects. The 2001 budget for this project is $426,910 with <br />$200,000 coming from the City, $200,000 available from special assessments, and <br />$26,910 available from developer escrows. <br /> <br />Staff reported that this year's program is proposed to have a format change whereby 25 <br />potential individual seal coat projects have condensed into eleven projects. This <br />consolidation will be effected by aggregating subdivisions having similar pavement areas <br />per residential unit into a single project. <br /> <br />Staff was directed to research further the effect oil price changes may have on the cost of <br />the program. The consensus of the Committee was to direct staff to prepare a feasibility <br />study outlining the program and identifying costs and assessments. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to direct staff to prepare a feasibility study for the 2001 Street Maintenance <br />Program. <br /> <br />Case #2: Update on Water Tower Lettering and Painting <br /> <br />Staff presented a color rendering of the lettering and painting scheme for the new water <br />tower. An illustration of how the lettering would be orientated on the tank was presented. <br />This scheme will allow for "The City of Ramsey" to be painted in three locations around <br />the perimeter of the tank. The tank pedestal and roof will be white, and the lettering will <br />be white on a dark blue band. It was noted that there would be little opportunity to place <br />a logo between the letterings because of the limited space. The Committee recommended <br />approval of the proposed painting and lettering scheme for both the new tank, and the <br />existing tank which is to be repainted in the fall. <br /> <br />G:\users\City Sharcd File\Public Works Department~Committees\Public Works Committee\CasesL2001\Council Update\cc <br />01.23.01 .doc <br /> <br />-235- <br /> <br /> <br />
