Parks Superintendent/Interim Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood replied that while that <br /> could be done, it would most likely be very unpopular. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked if there would be benefit to the assessment method for the developer. <br /> Parks Superintendent/Interim Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood confirmed that could <br /> be a more attractive option for a developer. He stated that TIF funding could also be an option. <br /> The Committee confirmed that both the EAB and boulevard trees should be added to the list for <br /> continued updates. <br /> Assistant City Engineer Feriancek provided an update on the pavement management program and <br /> Capital Improvement Program (CIP). He confirmed that this has been updated with all of the <br /> needed improvements. He stated that this is heavy loaded in the first years with seven to nine <br /> miles per year whereas years further out would average about five miles per year. He noted that <br /> this is a goal to spend the bond and ARPA funds by 2025. He also reviewed details on the other <br /> funding sources for projects. <br /> Chairperson Riley stated that if the first three years that involve the additional funding are <br /> excluded, the plan would not seem that front loaded and asked the limiting factor that does not <br /> allow even more front loading. <br /> Assistant City Engineer Feriancek replied that 2023 is not front loaded. He reviewed the projects <br /> proposed for 2023, noting that the limiting factor for 2023 is the ability for staff to prepare the <br /> plans. He stated that it will be a very busy winter for staff to prepare the plans for those identified <br /> projects in time for bidding by Spring. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked if Chairperson Riley would suggest moving $1,000,000 from <br /> 2027 to 2026. <br /> Chairperson Riley replied that would be a good answer and was just asking what the limiting factor <br /> would be. He understood the burden on City staff and asked if that is something that could be <br /> contracted out. <br /> Assistant City Engineer Feriancek replied that they would have the ability to contract out in order <br /> to do even more in the first few years. He provided an overview of the different projects proposed <br /> for 2023 and 2024. He stated that it would not be realistic for staff to develop more plans without <br /> additional assistance. <br /> City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby reviewed other parts of projects Engineering <br /> staff are involved with above plan development. He stated that construction inspection has not yet <br /> been addressed, noting that some project inspection work would most likely need to be contracted <br /> out. He commented that it is hard for inspection staff to manage their current work load. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that the more that can be done earlier the better, but also <br /> acknowledged the capacity of City staff. <br /> Public Works Committee/ September 20, 2022 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br />
