MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MARCH 22~ 1994 LaValle did not believe that was an issue, and pointed out that the property owners are not in favor of the improvement options outlined by the City Engineer. LaValle also indicated that there are not four votes of the Council to support the City Engineer's recommendation. The Administrator reported that the proposal does not include reconstruction, and it appears that reclamation is not an option. An overlay, however, would add life to the street, but in this case may not make sense. The Administrator indicated that once the Council decides on the percentage to assess overlay and rehab projects, and credits are applied for unexpired street life, the property owners may not pay much for the improvement. However, it may be that the patch and sealcoat option would make the most sense. Potter pointed out that the City Engineer has indicated that a mill and overlay will last 10 years. Potter reported that he has checked with other cities and they have indicated that a mill and overlay will last 3 to 5 years, with the same problems showing up. The City Administrator reported that the life of a mill and overlay depends on the type of problems that a city is trying to correct. It is true that cracks will show right back through, but cracks can be addressed with crack-sealing. The issue on these streets is the break up along the curb and culverts. The Administrator reported that the City needed the input of the property owners in this matter. The Administrator pointed out that these streets are relatively new and should be taken care of so that the City can get the best value from them. There was no one else from the general public present wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by LaValle, seconded by Scalze, the public hearing was closed. Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 94-3-65 - TABLING ACTION ON IMPROVEMENT 13
