Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. CASE #5 2005 STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Background: City Engineer Jankowski presented the Committee with the Feasibility Study for the 2005 Street Maintenance Programs. This year':s program's consists of eight individual projects addressing the maintenance needs on 20.51 miles of City streets. Projects 05-01 through 05-05, which covers 13.55 miles of City streets, will receive a sealcoating preceded by sealing of cracks having widths, which exceed one-quarter inch. Projects 05-06 and 05-08, which involves 6.96 miles of street, will receive a one and one-half inch bituminous overlay of the existing bituminous pavement. The City has conducted an annual street maintenance program since 1981. It has been the City's policy to assess 50 % of the cost associated with these improvements. A complete listing of the City's policies concerning the assessment practices are summarized in Appendix C. It should be noted that Project 05-01 will not be an assessment project :since funds for the first sealcoating of newly constructed streets have been escrowed by the project developer for this purpose. In recent years the initial step of this process has been the presentation of the program to the Public Works Committee. Table 6 of the report contains a listing of the schedule of project milestones associated with this program. Staff is open to any direction the Committee may have on the draft Feasibility StUdy~ Staff anticipates presenting the study to City Council on February 8, 2005 :and holding a public hearing on the program on March 8, 2005. Motion to recommend that the City Council accept the Feasibility Study for the 2005 Street Maintenance Program and set the date of March 8, 2005 for a public hearing, contingent upon staff review and explanation of potential budget constraints within the feasibility study and recommendations thereof.
