Mr. Jankowski <br />agreed that construction vehicles will do that, however, he noted that delaying the project will <br />have the negative impact of interrupting the program. Rescheduling a project requires more <br />administrative effort and causes available funds for needed maintenance to go unspent for a <br />minimum 12-month period of time. Mr. Jankowski suggested that future maintenance programs <br />would be best initiated in early November with an informational meeting to identify concerns <br />and allow time for adjustments. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/March 16, 1999 <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
