City Engineer Westby explained the standard method the City often uses for mill and overlay projects. He explained that mill and overlays are done to add structural capacity to the roadway and typically mill two inches. He stated that if an additional half inch is left and only 1.5 inches is milled, you are still leaving structurally damaged material and it will most likely break up during the milling process, therefore it would not be helpful. Councilmember Riley stated that as a Councilmember and resident he is frustrated that this was done incorrectly in the past and the residents are stuck footing the bill for the corrections. He wanted to ensure that the City is following the correct process during the projects being completed to ensure that this does not happen again. City Engineer Westby stated that he is confident that the road projects completed are being inspected and are being monitoring. He stated that pavement coring could be completed on the City projects, as they do with development projects, to ensure the correct process and result was followed. He noted that staff does monitor the construction throughout the process and therefore there should be very little variation on the projects that have been done in recent years. Mayor Strommen agreed that there is frustration with the situation the City is in but acknowledged that this is the situation and the only thing they can do is to make certain that the correct steps are followed now to ensure that this does not happen again.
