There are five miles <br />of dirt streets spread around the City, and every time it rains staff must go out and manually <br />grade these roads. There has been a lot of discussion about this, and the consensus of the <br />Committee was to direct staff to present the Committee with a proposal for a program to <br />implement the road paving projects in the City with 50 percent City financing. The finances <br />would not be available to do all five miles in one year's time. Staff will put this into the form of <br />a prograrn and ask for formal ratification at a future date. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to ratify the <br />recommendation of the Public Works Committee for Case 7 and to direct staff to present the <br />Public Works Committee with a proposal for a program td implement the road paving projects in <br />the City with 50 percent City financing. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
