CITY COUNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 23, 1983 3, STREET REBABILITATION HEARING - CONTINUED: --Richard Quinn what maintenance is presently being done on these streets? Larry Bohrer - City crew can handle two tvpes of street maintenance jobs - 1, Hole filling with hot tar mixture - have to use a maintenance truck to pack it down as the City has no roller or other equipment to cut out bad areas and replace same with new pavement; and 2, the seal coating program. Seal coating is only effective to a point - once "alligatoring" of the pavement begins seal coating will not hold the pieces together. Because of the condition o.f. these streets, pot hole filling is the only maintenance proposed. Believe these streets receive the same amount of attention as any other streets in the City. --Arlyn Christ - appears to be an overwhelming attitude againt the proposed rehabilitation - would like to have the City prove that seal coating will not work, Believes that filling the cracks .in the pavement will solve the problems. Should wait before ordering this extensive a project. --George Pletsch - suggested- contracting out the patching work the City crew cannot do this would better use citizen tax dollars. --Walt John - do not believe an overlay would do any good. --Carl Bagley, Jamaca Ct, given the current pollution problems caused by the landfill feel dollars would be better spent toward resolving this problem rather than blacktopping the streets. Morgan took a poll of the residents: 18 residents from Tablyn Park - none were in favor of the project, 3 residents from Kendridge - none were in favor - petition represented the majority of this developments residents, 9 residents from Bordner Gardner Farmettes - none were in favor of the project, 1 resident from Fredrich Heights - opposed the project. Morgan closed the hearing at 7:55 p.m. Residents were notified that this will be on the March 1, 1983 Council Agenda. --Dunn - would like to see a petition from the other three areas, will not support a project or assessment that is opposed by the affected property owners. --Morgan should consider repair of the worst areas and see if' they can be seal coated, rather than repair the good sections along with the deteriorated ones, Mazzara - drove through these areas -feels the majority of :these streets are in good shape. From what was seen, not sure the benefits are there. There being no further discussion Morgan entertained a motion to adjourn the meeting, M/S/P Dunn/Mazzara to adjourn the meeting at 8:05 p.m. RESOLUTIONS: 83-24 - Ag Preserves
