MINUTES CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 28, 2005 Miscellaneous 1. The pavement section indicated in the geotechnical report is noted as a 10-year design life. It is required that a 20-year design life be used. The report and street section should be revised Co reflect this. Gardener asked if this was an ordinance requirement.
