MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AUGUST 14, 1991 <br />that a feasibility report is necessary at this time, <br />and the feasibility report will look at two options. <br />The first would be an inexpensive, short-term fix that <br />would include patching, leveling and overlay. The <br />second option would be total reconstruction of the <br />street plus utilities. The Engineer stated that it <br />would not be feasible to get a project underway this <br />year under the 429 process. A spring project would be <br />anticipated. <br />Scalze asked the cost of filling the potholes could be <br />covered under the 429 process. <br />The City Engineer felt that this cost was just a normal <br />maintenance issue and a temporary correction only. <br />Scalze pointed out that the Council is of the mind that <br />something needs to be done with the streets in Ryan <br />Industrial Park, and suggested that the cost of filling <br />potholes be included in the 429 improvement in the <br />spring. 5calze felt pothole repair would be expensive. <br />Frank Frattalone, property owner in the area, estimated <br />the cost of filling potholes at $1,000. <br />Blesener pointed out that the road improvement was <br />discussed in the past but never undertaken since it was <br />an expensive project. Blesener pointed out that now <br />there are new methods and options available that might <br />bring down costs. <br />The City Engineer agreed that the new fabrics available <br />would require less excavation of sub-materials. <br />Aowever, the Engineer estimated that a 9-ton, 32-foot <br />wide road with curb and gutter, fabric and drain tile <br />would cost $200 per foot. <br />Frattalone sugqested a 7-ton road to bring down costs. <br />Frattalone suggested that the road could be posted in <br />the spring to extend its life. <br />The Engineer did not believe there would be a <br />substantial cost savings going from a 9-ton road to <br />7-ton. The Engineer pointed out that this is one of <br />the most difficult areas to build a road, and felt a <br />9-ton road would provide the longest life. <br />Blesener did not believe it would be feasible to post <br />weight limits on the road. <br />Blesener pointed out that the road was not constructed <br />to City standards, therefore, was never accepted as a <br />City street. Blesener stated that the cost of a road <br />Page 9 <br />
