The Administrator felt this was an excellent planning tool wi~ich will ~ive the City firm numbers on infrastructure needs on a per year basis. The City Engineer reporCed thaY the first step in pre~aring a pavement management plan is to conduct an inventory of the City's streets relative to the condition they ar'e in and create a computer model with this informaCion. The model can then be upolted either every year or every otl~er year. The motlel will ii~dicate the type of maintenance or recoi~struction which is needed on each street. A map is then prepared whicl~ indicates Che condition of streets and identifies areas where work is needed. This plan would be a working document that will have a lot of value to staff.
