Civil Engineer II Feriancek provided more details on the estimated cost for that service. <br />Chairperson Riley commented that there is a known CIP schedule and perhaps it would be a good <br />idea to do the projects planned for 2023 and then attempt to get the most number of miles <br />completed with the additional funding. <br />City Engineer Westby replied that if City Council approvals could be gained immediately, staff <br />could focus on that task. <br />Chairperson Riley asked what that would mean. <br />City Engineer Westby replied that perhaps if a dome project were to come forward, that <br />engineering work would need to be contracted out in order for City staff to stay focused on roads. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked how finance feels about spending those funds on roads. <br />Finance Director Lund replied that they are going into budget discussions and roads were planned <br />to be on the levy, therefore she would assume they would stay on that tract with the additional <br />funding for roads. She stated that roads would then be $1,800,000 within the proposed budget. <br />She clarified that contracts would need to be in place by December of 2024 for ARPA funds and <br />spent by December 2026. <br />City Engineer Westby stated that the plan for 2023 is great but they would still need a plan for the <br />next ten years. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked some of the options. <br />Chairperson Riley commented that most of these are residential streets and could not use MSA <br />funding. He confirmed that an additional $2,500,000 is needed each year for the next ten years. <br />Finance Director Lund provided details on the typical terms of bonding. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if it would be smarter to do a larger amount to get more work <br />done if they were to use bonding. <br />Finance Director Lund provided details on bonding and the timeline in which the funds have to be <br />used. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if there would be an opportunity to use the consortium if a larger <br />amount were bonded for. <br />City Engineer Westby replied that the consortium does sealcoating and crack sealing. He stated <br />that the City could bond a larger amount and that costs could be spread over up to ten years. <br />Chairperson Riley commented that it seems that roads need to be reconstructed rather than overlaid <br />and asked what is driving that. <br />Public Works Committee / June 21, 2022 <br />Page 10 of 13 <br />
