Item No. <br /> Staff Report No. <br /> Meeting Date: June 7, 1999 <br /> Type of Business: W. K. <br /> WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; <br /> CA: Consent Agenda; CB:Council Business <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> Item Title/Subject: Review of Streets Policies Recommendations and Options <br /> Date of Report: June 2, 1999 <br /> At an earlier City Council meeting the final Street Committee Policies Recommendations were <br /> presented to the Council. These recommendations are scheduled to be heard again at two public <br /> hearings, one on June 28, the second on July 12, 1999. If these recommendations are adopted in <br /> their entirety or partially, some amendments to the ordinance or resolutions will have to be made. <br /> The assessment rate of 50% is part of the ordinance. The street width was adopted by resolution. <br /> Based on Council direction and public input, staff will prepare the required documents. <br /> Another issue within the assessment policy might be the rate on utility replacements. This rate is <br /> also 50% for residential mains, 100% for trunk mains and residential services. Perhaps a <br /> wastewater surcharge of some amount, paid quarterly would lessen the impact of any <br /> rehabilitation of the sewer mains. After the meter change out program is paid for,the current <br /> charge could remain in-place and subsidize any future water main replacement. Staff will be <br /> conducting additional research into various trenchless technologies for rehab of these utilities and <br /> the projected costs. <br /> Please give these ideas some additional thought. Staff will be happy to discuss any options that <br /> . might be presented. It is staffs intent to provide the Council and community with as many <br /> options as possible to maintain and improve the City's infrastructure in the manner in which <br /> directed. Please bring your final copy of the Streets Committee's report and <br /> recommendations with you to the meeting. <br /> If you have any questions or comments that staff can address or research prior to the meeting, <br /> please feel free to call me. <br /> Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br />
