Seven projects <br />involved crackfill/sealcoat projects covering 15.3 miles of roadway. Four projects involved a 1- <br />~ inch bituminous overlay covering 5.5 miles. Individual projects have combined subdivisions <br />having similar pavement areas per unit into single projects to reduce administration costs. He <br />stated that all projects have been substantially completed and the final costs have been <br />determined. He noted that it is City policy to assess 50% of the project cost to the benefited <br />property owners. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />Bob Ellerton, 17264 Sodium Street NW, stated that he would like to thank City Engineer <br />Jankowski for spending time with him recently discussing the sealcoating project in his area. He <br />stated that he had delivered a portion of the gravel from the road to City Engineer Jankowski. <br />He stated that he did not have a complaint about the assessment, but about the quality of 'the <br />work. He showed pictures of the roadway and some of the problems they have had. He stated <br />that the road is particularly bad at the corner of 172nd and Potassium. . <br /> <br />Public Works Director Olson stated that this area has not been sealcoated because there is an <br />upcoming storm sewer project planned for the area. He stated that the City has been patching this <br />area and making repairs until this project goes through. <br /> <br />Mark Newman, 17319 Quicksilver Street, stated that he is seeing seal coated areas that are <br />already in need of repair. He stated that he is concerned about what the roads will look like after <br />winter and whether or not the property owners will once again be assessed for the repair costs at <br />that time. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec asked City Engineer Jankowski to explain about the bonds that are retained for <br />these types of projects. <br /> <br />City Council I September 25, 2007 <br />Page 8 of 27 <br />
