• • INS -8 MEMORANDUM DATE: April 19, 2004 TO: City Council FROM: Michael Grochala RE: Pavement Management 2004 Street Reconstruction Referendum As discussed at the Joint City Council/Charter Commission meeting on April 8, 2004, staff is working with TKDA to update the Pavement Management Plan that was originally prepared by BRW in 1996. The purpose of the plan is to identify the optimal pavement management program (including reconstruction and maintenance) to maximize the life of City streets at the minimum cost to the community. Staff is anticipating completion of the plan by July of 2004. While the management plan will address, from an engineering and financial standpoint, a preferred method of maintaining city streets, implementation of the plan will most likely require additionally city council/charter commission discussions. At this time staff is requesting direction from the City Council regarding street reconstruction projects. Due to time constraints and project planning purposes we need to determine if a referendum for street reconstruction will be held in November of 2004. TKDA is completing feasibility studies for certain areas of the City that were authorized as part of the original 5 year plan. If we are to proceed with a fall 2004 referendum several questions will need to be addressed. For example: 1. Should sanitary sewer and water extensions be included in the feasibility studies? Most of the reconstruction areas lack these services. 2. If the answer to No. 1 is yes, is staff to assume that the comprehensive plan amendments, that would be required in most situations, would be facilitated by the City.
