Mounds View City Council October 25, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 23 the pavement rating, data input, and GIS link to the software, so staff can make the necessary presentations for the different ratings. He explained that an itemized quote has been provided for review, which indicates $6,000 for the rating, $1,800 for the data input, and $1,200 to provide the software link. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated there is approximately $6,500 remaining in the budget for the Pavement Management Fund, which is the fund utilized for seal coating, patching and miscellaneous curb and gutter repair. He explained that earlier in the year, staff recommended, and the Council approved approximately $25,000 to be spent out of this fund to pay for the path that was constructed along County Road I. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated staff has requested the Finance Director to determine if there are additional funds available to obtain the remaining $2,500 for the pavement survey. He stated the Finance Director has indicated the trail along County Road I is a very good qualifier for TIF funds, therefore, if the Council chooses to fund the trail with TIF, there would be adequate funding available to pay for the survey. Council Member Stigney inquired if this was TIF interest or actual TIF funds. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated these would be actual TIF funds. Council Member Thomason inquired regarding the life span of the pavement surveys. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated this would depend upon the pavements and the maintenance schedule. He explained that most cities rate their pavements every two years, or will attempt to rate a quarter of the city every year, to provide for a two or four-year survey. Council Member Thomason inquired if the pavement survey would be valid until 2002, and be an accurate reflection of the road ratings, if it was conducted this year. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated this was correct. He pointed out that if the survey was to proceed at this time, it could be completed by the end of November. MOTION/SECOND: Thomason/Quick. To Approve Staff's Recommendation to Take the Full Amount of the Trail Funds From TIF, and Utilize $2,500 to Conduct a Pavement Survey. Council Member Stigney clarified that the pavement survey funds were to come from TIF. Mayor Coughlin requested clarification of the motion, and inquired if the motioner and seconder intended the monies for the trail come out of TIF, as well as the funding for the pavement survey. Council Member Thomason stated this was correct, exactly as recommended on the staff report. Council Member Quick stated this was his understanding. Finance Director Kessel advised the TIF funds are to be utilized for social and recreational purposes, and inquired if the Council desired to take out the entire $27,000, or just $2,500 for the pavement survey. Council Member Stigney advised staff was only requesting $2,500 for the pavement survey.
