<br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if bituminous is the right solution to the lead up of intersections <br />that have heavy tree cover with stones. He asked if these areas would be better served by concrete. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby stated that the biggest problem in these areas is water <br />standing on the roads. He stated that he would not recommend concrete in these areas. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson asked for clarification on the spray patching, as he thought he heard that <br />this performed poorly. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby explained that spray patching performs well for a <br />short period of time as it does seal the pavement and keeps water from penetrating the pavement <br />for a few years. He stated that it is very thin and moves with heat. He said this is a temporary patch <br />for one to three years. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Specht, to adopt Resolution #23- <br />089 approving plans and authorizing bids for Improvement Project #23-14, 2023 critical mill and <br />overlay improvements, and authorizing Staff, due to the unique nature of the situation with labor <br />availability of contractors, to solicit quotes of up to $150,000 for special projects that Public Works <br />sees fit, and direct Staff to come back at the May 9, 2023 meeting to bring plans and bid specs for <br />spray patching and pothole filling, for all streets. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
