WS — Item 3 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 3 <br />Date: January 3, 2012 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Michael Grochala <br />Re: Street Reconstruction Issues <br />Background <br />At the December 5th, 2011 work session the city council requested a list of issues <br />regarding street reconstruction. The reconstruction of city streets has been a highly <br />debated topic for the past two decades based, in part, on the city wide election <br />requirements contained in the City Charter and the continued degradation of public <br />infrastructure. <br />The City began using a computer software package to develop pavement condition <br />ratings in 1991. In 1995 the city developed street maintenance guidelines in response to a <br />failed charter amendment which sought to remove the city wide election requirements but <br />provide limitations on special assessments.

This study established a comprehensive plan for <br />road maintenance and reconstruction including an evaluation of funding options and <br />policies to implement the PMP. As a result of the study, funding, through property tax <br />levy, was significantly increased for special maintenance activities including seal coating <br />and pavement overlays. However, the road reconstruction component has remained <br />unfunded following referenda defeats in 2005 and 2007. <br />In 2007 the city council appointed a citizen committee to review the charter provisions <br />pertaining to public improvements. The Citizen Task Force drafted a proposed charter <br />amendment that included the deletion of the city wide election while retaining a <br />neighborhood "Veto" process. This amendment was not submitted to voters however, <br />due to both a competing amendment proposed by the charter commission and an <br />amendment submitted by citizen petition. The petition amendment proposed changing <br />the charter improvement requirements to mirror state law. As required by law the <br />petition amendment was placed on the 2008 ballot for voter consideration. To avoid <br />
