Are there any other Options for payment? <br /> <br />Yes. After a project is certified t° the'CoUnty for assessment, the full balance can be paid off at <br />any time. However, the County~ adds~a full year's interest to the outstanding balance on <br />November 1 st of each year. <br /> <br />How are street selected for the maintenance projects? <br /> <br />The City keeps records of the construction, maintenance history, and condition of each <br />pavement. Pavements are rated each year by a team comprised by our public works and <br />engineering departments. Generally seal¢oats and overlays are determined to be necessary when <br />the rating condition reach certain levels, iA tYPical bituminous pavement in the City follows the <br />following typical life cycle, although in actual practice many projects vary several years from <br />this schedule: <br /> <br />Year Actiye <br />0 New Construction <br />5 l'~t sealcoat/crackfill <br />12 2nd sealcoaUcrackfill <br />19 Biturrfinous overlay <br />24 Sealcoaffcrackfill ' <br />31 Rec6nstruction <br /> <br />What if I don't agree that the street needs t° have this maintenance activity? <br /> <br />The recommended time for pavement maintenance is before the pavement looks like its in <br />trouble, therefore, this is a very understandable reaction on the part of citizens. Citizens are <br />encouraged to attend the public hearing, in the spring and voice their concerns, or call the <br />engineering staff. Staff is often made aware of localized problems, usually associated with <br />drainage as a result of such citiZen input.. Drainage improvements often can be made prior to the <br />street maintenance project. A neighborhood meeting can also be arranged to review with the <br />neighborhood the pavement evaluation syStem Used to determine project needs. <br /> <br />What if I still disagree that this project needs to be done at this time? <br /> <br />The City Charter gives residents a high level of control over projects that are to be special <br />assessed. A sixty-day period is .required from.the time of the assessment hearing until the City <br />can order the project. If a petition opposing the project is received signed by the majority of the <br />benefited properties within this period, the City may not order or reconsider the project for a 12- <br />month period. <br /> <br />However, the City does encourage timely~maintenance and has instituted a policy whereby the <br />City will not participate with the 50% funding if a pavement needs a more expensive repair <br />following the defeat of a maintenance project. <br /> <br />Additional Questions? <br /> <br />If you have questions not covered above or would like more detail on the City's policies and <br />procedures, you may call a City Engineer at 763-427-1410, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. <br />through 4:30 p.m. <br /> <br />l.'lEngineermgl2005 Prqjects[O$-O0 Street Maintenance ProjectiStreet Mainteaance Program Information.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
