He stated that in the past they asked for the Council's authorization to <br /> use the remaining funds available from the sealcoating line item, after the sealcoating has been <br /> completed, in order to do pavement coring and soil borings in certain areas known to have bad <br /> soils that are included in upcoming road projects. He noted that staff will again ask for that <br /> authorization this year in order to continue that research as they have not yet found a common <br /> denominator. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked if staff would be able to mill a little less roadway and then add <br /> more bituminous material throughout the mill and overlay project. <br /> City Council/January 10, 2017 <br /> Page 8 of 11 <br />
