Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Woestehoff and Musgrove. <br /> Voting No: None. <br /> 5.04: Consider Recommendation to City Council to Temporarily Increase Funding for <br /> Pavement Management Program <br /> City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and recommendation to temporarily increase <br /> annual PMP funding to mitigate immediate street reconstruction bubble needs and minimize <br /> annual maintenance costs in as few years as practical. It is important to consider that the longer <br /> the bubble continues, the greater the impacts related to street maintenance including equipment <br /> and material cost, professional services, and potentially staffing. On the flip side, the higher the <br /> annual PMP funding, the greater the impacts related to engineering costs including engineering <br /> staff and potential professional services. These costs must therefore be considered as well. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked if the reclaim light is done, would that preclude a mill and overlay in the <br /> future. <br /> City Engineer Westby confirmed that generally that would be true as there would not be enough <br /> pavement for that option. He commented that an overlay could be done to lengthen the lifespan, <br /> but a mill and overlay would not be an option. <br /> Civil Engineer II Feriancek explained the differences in the proposed costs of the last case between <br /> full-depth reclaim and reclaim light. <br /> City Engineer Westby replied that staff will provide better cost estimates at the next meeting. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff stated that he likes getting 25 percent more roads done. He stated <br /> that as much as he does not love the reclaim light option, it does help to spread the improvements <br /> out better over time. <br /> Chairperson Riley confirmed the consensus of the Committee that the available ARPA funds <br /> mentioned should be spent on road projects. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked if the police body cams were still funded using ARPA dollars. <br /> Finance Director Lund replied was excluded from the numbers and noted the estimate of the police <br /> cameras was about $268,000 in total for the entire system. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the ARPA funds have to be used within a certain period of <br /> time. <br /> Finance Director Lund stated that the first half of funds were received in 2021 and the next half <br /> will be received in 2022. She stated that contracts have to be in place by December 2023 and the <br /> funds have to be spent one year after that date. <br /> Public Works Committee/June 21, 2022 <br /> Page 8 of 13 <br />
