1 COUNCIL WORK SESSION APRIL 10, 1989 045 Councilman Reinert opened the Work Session of the Lino Lakes City Council at 6:15 P.M. Monday, April 10, 1989. Council Members present: Bohjanen, Bisel. Council. Members absent: Neal. Mayor Benson arrived at 6:35 P.M. Public Works Director, Don Vo1k;;Administrator, Randy Schumacher and Clerk- Treasurer, Marilyn Anderson were also present. The purpose of the work session was to review a Pavement Management Program designed by SEH. Mr. Dan Boxrud and Mr. Richard Moore representing SEH attended this meeting. A letter dated March 15, 1989 from SEH outlines the study SEH proposes to perform for Lino Lakes and explains what the study will accomplish and how it will save money on road maintenance. The program that SEH is proposing is similar to the one performed for the City of Oakdale. The basic premise of the program is "save the streets in the best condition first and leave the worst streets until reconstruction is required ". First seal coat the streets needing seal coating, second overlay the streets needing overlay and leave the streets requiring reconstruction. If citizens call and ask why their streets are not being maintained, the Public Works Director can consult his capital improvements program and let the citizen know when his street will be either seal coated, overlaid or reconstructed. Mr. Reinert asked how this program would fit into the budget. Mr. Boxrud explained that each street would be scheduled for a particular year and the estimated cost would be provided so that a capital improvements budget can be determined. Mr. Moore presented a slide program further outlining the program: 1) catalogue/ inventory each street on computer; 2) Public Works Director would establish a maintenance history of each street; 3) each street would be field rated; 4) engineering review and structural analysis conducted on each street; 5) recommendation for both maintenance and capital improvements provided, and 6) a capital improvements program designed. There was discussion regarding the average life span of a street. Street conditions such as "map tracking" and "allegatoring" were also discussed. In addition, the need for close inspection during construction was discussed. Mr. Bisel noted that currently we have one street design standard for new construction and suggested that design standards be developed for different soil conditions. Mr. Stahlberg explained that although there currently is only one design standard he is requiring that streets be designed according to conditions. Mayor Benson asked that a written proposal be submitted to the_CounciJ by SEH. It could than be followed by a contract.
