that he will not receive compensation if and when his access to Highway 10 is closed, with this • provision to be recorded against the land, and contingent on review by the City Attorney Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Case #4 Update on Schedule for 2007 Street Maintenance Program Background: The 2007 Street Maintenance Program is an annual program which has been implemented for over 20 years to address periodically the maintenance needs of the City's streets. A general discussion of the 2007 program was held at the November 21 2006 Public Works Committee meeting. At the December 12, 2006 City Council meeting a motion was made to set the City general fund budget for this program at $270,000 and to schedule public hearings on the projects for January 23, 2007. The Committee has been provided with the feasibility study for the 2007 program. Because this program involves assessments for half of the project costs it must comply with state statutes and city codes which regulate the assessment process. Table 6 of the study contains a detailed schedule of the schedule elements. In this year's program a new element is proposed involving a citizen informational meeting to be held on Thursday, February 1, 2007. Other communities have found such meetings are useful in answering many questions regarding • the program that are otherwise asked during the formal public hearing. In addition, staff hopes that this meeting will be useful in identifying any additional improvements that should be made in advance of the street maintenance work. In the past, staff has learned from local residents of issues, generally related to drainage, which could best be remedied prior to the street work taking place. By learning of these ancillary problems early staff can prepare plans for their correction prior to the time the street projects are ordered at the end of April. Action: No action is required by the Committee, a public hearing will be scheduled for February 1311'. Case #5 , Review RFP for Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan Background: . The City is required to revise their Comprehensive Plan in 2008. One portion of the plan is the Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan. The current plan was created in 1980 and revised in 1987. The plan for the southeast quadrant of the City was updated in 1997. Significant development has. occurred since the plan was first created. The proposed schedule is on the first page and will allow almost a full year for selection of the consultant and preparation of the plan. The Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan should be completed well in advance of the Comprehensive Plan for the City so that recommendations from the Water • Resources Plan can be reflected in the appropriate sections of the Comprehensive Plan. —243—
