Home

Councilmember Riley asked the cost of Reclamite compared to sealcoat. City Engineer Westby replied that the cost is less for Reclamite. Councilmember Riley asked if it would make sense to do a few streets rather than simply doing the free test strips, as there are available funds. City Engineer Westby stated that staff would welcome that option. He stated that he has only heard positive input from cities that have implemented this practice. He stated that staff could reach out to the contractor to obtain a cost estimate for a few streets. The consensus of the Committee was to reach out to the contractor to determine the cost to complete a full street that could be used for comparison against another street of the same age to gain that data. Based on the cost Staff will bring back that cost estimate to the Committee. 6.02: Receive Staff Updates on Improvement Projects, Studies, and Items of Interest City Engineer Westby provided an update on current and proposed City, County and MnDOT improvement projects and studies, and on other items of interest to the Committee. 6.03: Review Future Topics Calendar City Engineer Westby reviewed the future topics calendar.
