City Engineer Westby confirmed that core drillings were done and a reconstruct would be needed <br />rather than a mill and overlay. <br /> <br />Chairperson Kuzma noted that there is already $25,000 set aside for additional spray patching and <br />confirmed that staff would not anticipate needing more than that. He stated that leaves $287,000 <br />that could be carried over into 2021. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth agreed that the funds should remain and be carried over to 2021. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley stated that the funds were budgeted for road maintenance and if not spent <br />in 2020, there should be a firm plan on how those funds would be used in 2021. <br /> <br />Chairperson Kuzma commented that this excess should be in addition to the $500,000 that is <br />budgeted annually for road maintenance. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Menth, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to recommend to the City <br />Council to reallocate excess 2020 Crack Sealing and Seal Coating Improvement funds as follows: <br />use as needed for spray patching and bank the remainder for road maintenance use in 2021. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Kuzma, Councilmembers Menth and Riley. Voting <br />No: None. <br /> <br />6. COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />6.01: Receive Staff Update on 2020 Reclamite Rejuvenator Pilot Project <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby provided an update on the proposed 2020 reclamite pavement rejuvenator <br />pilot project. <br /> <br />Chairperson Kuzma asked the age of the majority of the City streets. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby estimated between 30 to 40 years old on average. He stated that they could <br />do the test strips and use that data to determine if this would be a helpful step to incorporate into <br /> and overlays. He stated that <br />many cities are doing pilot projects this year, similar to this request. <br /> <br />Chairperson Kuzma commented that while this could be a good incorporation, he would be more <br />concerned with how sealcoating will be replaced. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that he would not recommend sealcoating any longer because of the <br />stripping under sealcoat issues that have occurred across the metro and have been observed in <br />Ramsey over the last couple of years. He stated that staff will continue to look for alternative <br />options. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth stated that this is a problem within the industry, and he would believe that <br />the industry is working to find a solution. <br />Public Works Committee / June 16, 2020 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br />
