MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCSL <br />MARCH 22, 1994 <br />existing road surface, using the ground material as <br />base, and adding three inches of bituminous mat. The <br />subsurface would be rolled and soft areas replaced. <br />The Engineer reported that the cost of the mill and <br />overlay is estimated at $102,245.22. City policy is to <br />assess 1000 of the cost of overlay and street <br />rehabilitation projects. Therefore, $82,619.46 would <br />be assessed at a rate of $14.24 per lineal foot. The <br />City would pay storm sewer costs at an estimated cost <br />of $19,625.76. <br />The Engineer indicated that the cost of the full-depth <br />reclamation is estimated at $145,058.76. That amount <br />includes street costs of $127,595.16 which would be <br />100% assessed at an estimated rate of $21.99 per lineal <br />foot. The City would pay $17,463.60 associated with <br />storm sewer costs. <br />Hanson asked if there were any plans to do anything <br />with the existing curbs. <br />The City Engineer replied that existing curbing would <br />be salvaged. The Engineer reported that this past <br />winter has been very hard on the street as well as the <br />curbing. The Engineer indicated that last fall he was <br />pushing for a full-depth reclamation project for <br />Westwind and Windrow which would have an estimated life <br />of 15 years. However, in taking another look at the <br />streets and curbing, the Engineer did not believe the <br />curbing would last 15 years. Therefore, his <br />recommendation was to go with the mill and overlay <br />option with full reconstruction of the streets in the <br />future. <br />The Administrator reported that the Engineer's <br />estimates reflect a 100% assessment of street <br />improvement costs. Last eveninq the Council held a <br />workshop meeting at which it discussed the City's <br />street assessment policy. The policy provides for a <br />100% assessment of street overlays and rehabilitations. <br />This was based on the City's previous policy. City <br />staff has done a survey of 16 other cities and found <br />that the vast majority assess overlays and rehab <br />projects at less than 100%. Some cities assess on a <br />50/50 split, others at a higher rate, and some cities <br />do not assess these projects at all. Last evening the <br />2 <br />
