• FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -2- May 28, 2003 RecLuest for Authorization to Use a Portion of the City's Population Allocation Funds from the Minnesota State Aid Account for the 2003 Seal Coating and Crack Sealing Project (continued) Administrator Worthington said the funds would be used to crack seal and seal coat streets in the North home area, the area where the streets and alleys were reconstructed last year. Council member Lindstrom asked if every street in that area will be covered and Administrator Worthington said all of the streets would be done, but not the alleys. Council member Lindstrom asked when the project would begin and how long it would take. Administrator Worthington said the project would be done in late July-early August because there needs to be a sustained temperature of about 85 degrees for the emulsion to adhere and solidify. The project will take a couple of days. Council member Talbot asked if the City will be using chipped granite and Administrator Worthington said yes, it is far superior. The City will try to get pink granite. Council member Kuettel asked when the Curtiss Field pond will be dredged because she is concerned about the effect the heavy trucks will have on the newly seal coated streets. • Administrator Worthington said the dredging won't occur until later and the trucks will be directed to the Snelling service road. Council member Talbot said that earlier City Councils were careful and planful when the City's streets were redone. Property owners were assessed for their share of the cost of the improvements, but because a majority of the City's streets are now completely redone and meet State aid standards, the City is eligible to use part of the Municipal State Aid System construction appropriation of the City State Aid allocation for street maintenance purposes with no assessments. The work done by Councils so many years ago is letting us benefit today. Mayor Gehrz and Administrator Worthington reminded the television audience that toilet paper is used to cover the crack sealing material to;protect it and keep it from adhering to tires.
