REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS <br /> By: Public Works Staff <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Public Works Commiuee met on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 and discussed the following <br />four cases: <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />Case #1 Update on Trail Lighting Discussion <br /> <br />Pulled from the agenda. <br /> <br />Case #2 Update on Street Reconstruction in Now and Then Estates <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Staff explained one of the two street projects which was identified for reconstruction in 2006 <br />according to the current Capital Improvement Program (CI?) included the Gamet Street and <br />168th Avenue in the Now and Then Estates subdivision. Since this subdivision is adjacent to the <br />Brookfield Addition which will be served with municipal sanitary services the Public Works <br />Committee gave direction at their February 21, 2006 meeting to determine the status of several <br />issues that could affect the future planning for these roads. <br /> <br />Staff was also directed at the February meeting to suggest the establishment of a street <br />assessment policy that would differentiate between streets that were being reconstructed due to <br />having reached their service life and those which needed to be reconstructed as an element of <br />sanitary municipal services being extended into an area. <br /> <br />Staff therefore recommends that it be directed to prepare an estimate of the cost for future street <br />reconstruction prior to establishing an assessment policy, in the interim staffwould recommend <br />that the Committee recommend to City Council that street reconstruction associated with the <br />installation of sewer and water be fully assessed as an element of the utility installation. Finally, <br />staff recommends that the redevelopment of Now and Then Estates be reconsidered in August <br />2006 after Oak~vood has had an opportunity to formalize their agreements with interested <br />property owners. <br /> <br />The Committee recommended that the City Council direct staff to prepare a street reconstruction <br />assessment policy. It was suggested that the policy specify that streets reconstructed for the <br />purpose of installing municipal utilities be assessed fully for the reconstruction as an element of <br />the sewer and water improvements. The policy should .further specify that streets reconstructed <br />because they have reached the end of their expected service life receive financial participation <br /> <br />-267- <br /> <br /> <br />
