City Engineer Westby replied that these are the roads that were inherited and the roads are at or <br />near their life expectancy. He stated that the City does about two times the number of overlays <br />compared to reconstructs. He commented that is due to the age of the roads and lack of <br />maintenance in the past. He explained that if there was additional maintenance done in the past, <br />they could be doing move overlays but now the roads have deteriorated past that point and need to <br />be reconstructed. <br />Chairperson Riley referenced Ute Street, south of Alpine, and asked why that would not qualify <br />as an overlay. <br />City Engineer Westby replied it has a rating of three or four. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer commented on the number of potholes and wearing of the <br />road. <br />City Engineer Westby replied that staff can move forward with the plan for 2023 as discussed, or <br />staff could bring additional information back for the July meeting if desired. <br />Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to recommend <br />City Council approval to temporarily increase Pavement Management Program using the available <br />ARPA funds, directing staff to move forward with the planned 2023 CIP road projects and use the <br />additional funds to provide the most benefit to roads possible. <br />Further discussion: <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Woestehoff and Musgrove. <br />Voting No: None. <br />Chairperson Riley commented that in terms of planning for the years after, it would make sense to <br />hear more information about bonding and the use of outside engineering consultants. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that it would also be helpful to have information on future <br />impacts to taxpayers as well. <br />Finance Director Lund noted that she would need to know the amount that would be bonded for in <br />order to provide that information. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that he is comfortable with the plan for 2023 but would want <br />more information following that because there are other costs, such as the Water Treatment Plant, <br />that will have impacts. <br />City Engineer Westby stated that if the decision is to add projects, that work needs to be done in <br />the fall, so the discussion cannot be pushed too far down the road as there is not a funding source <br />identified. <br />Public Works Committee / June 21, 2022 <br />Page 11 of 13 <br />
