I <br />i <br />I <br /> <br />CASE <br /> <br />REVIEW 1999 STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM ISSUES <br /> By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the March 9th public hearing on the street maintenance program, there was a request that <br />Improvement Project #99-03, the sealcoating of the Rivenwick subdivision, be postponed for one <br />year to allow for several vacant lots to have homes constructed. This would have the benefit of <br />avoiding having heavy construction equipment marring the newly sealcoated surface. While this <br />is certainly a valid concern, it should be noted that there is a certain amount of impact to the <br />appearance of any sealeoat that is caused by having tires turning on the aggregate surface. This <br />usually happens in front of driveways. <br /> <br />The negative impact of delaying this project for one year is primarily the interruption of the <br />program. Rescheduling will require more administrative effort, and will cause available funds <br />for needed maintenance to go unspent, at least for a twelve-month period of time. Perhaps <br />scheduling an informational meeting on the program in early November would be one method of <br />identifying concerns early enough in the process to allow time for adjustment. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee should decide on whether Improvement Project #99-03 should be <br />deleted from the 1999 program and rescheduled for the 2000 program. The Committee may also <br />wish to direct modifications to the program procedures. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Director of Public Works <br /> <br />PW:03/16/99 <br /> <br /> <br />
