CASE # 7 <br />DISCUSS 50% CITY CONTRIBUTION ON STREET PAVING PROJECTS <br />By: Steven J Jankowski. City Engineer <br />Background: <br />At the July 20, 2004 Public Works Committee meeting the Committee recommended <br />offering a City participation of 50% funding of the cost of.paving Welcome's Road <br />(segments which include 163rd Lane, Uranimite Street, 164`h Lane, Sapphire Street and <br />1641h Avenue). At this same meeting the Committee also recommended similar City <br />participation on a project which would facilitate the paving of aSt. Francis Boulevard <br />frontage road project which would also facilitate a TH 47 trail. Staff has received <br />inquiries from other individuals who expressed interest in paving their dirt streets. At <br />this point the 50% participation has only been,recommended for these two projects, <br />however, there may be the perception that this has become a City policy. Staff would <br />like to receive clarification on the Council and Committee's intent. <br />Attached to this case is an inventory of the remaining dirt roadways in the City. This <br />inventory has been separated into two categories. Streets which could reasonably be <br />paved have been listed along with approximate paving costs estimated at $50 per foot. <br />The second tisting consists of those streets which are unlikely to be paved for any number <br />of reasons. If the City were to adopt a policy of contributing 50% of the project cost, the <br />City would be assuming a financial responsibility of roughly $470,000. The Committee <br />may wish to consider some conditions or restrictions for this participation, such as <br />limiting the amount of money available in any fiscal year. <br />Action: <br />Based upon discussion. <br />Reviewed By: <br />Public Works Director/Fire Chief <br />Assistant Public Works Director/Principal Engineer <br />P W : 10/1. 9/04 <br />
