• • • AGENDA ITEM 7G STAFF ORIGINATOR: James E. Studenski, City Engineer COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 22, 2003 TOPIC: Resolution No. 03-156, Accepting Feasibility Report and Calling for a Public Hearing, 2004-2005 Street Improvement Project VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority BACKGROUND: The City of Lino Lakes currently has 99 miles of local streets that need to be maintained. In 1996, the city established a pavement management program to more efficiently monitor and allocate resources for ongoing maintenance of streets. The program, updated annually, includes condition ratings of each street to help prioritize rehabilitation and/or reconstruction of roadways in the city. As the City of Lino Lakes ages, the need for reconstruction of local streets is becoming a larger priority than it has in the past. Streets that are in poor condition or have storm drainage problems substantially increase city maintenance costs. The 2004-2005 Street Improvement project will be funded by a combination of special assessments and general tax levies. The feasibility study, ordered by the City Council, has been completed. The next step in the process will be to accept the feasibility study and hold a Public Hearing on the proposed improvements. OPTIONS: 1. Return to staff for further review. 2. Adopt Resolution No. 03-156, Accepting the Feasibility Report and Calling for a Public Hearing for the 2004-2005 Street Improvement project. RECOMMENDATION: Option No. 2 - Staff recommends that Resolution No. 03-156 be adopted.
