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.
