– Example: eliminate street segments where there was the greatest opposition to the project. Hold a public hearing followed by the 60- day protect period. o Revise the Roadway Major Maintenance Policy – The City could consider revising the Roadway Major Maintenance Policy and elect to finance this project without the use of special assessments. 1. Design Options 1A. Develop a Standard – The City has a standard for new City streets. The City has standards for construction of privately owned driveways and privately owned parking lots. It seems logical that the City should also have a standard for rehabilitating City streets. This was identified as an action step to the City’s goal of improving the City’s infrastructure. 1B. Discuss Design Options - create an intermediate street section– Other design option could be explored. On May 3, 2005, a presentation entitled “Streets 101” was given. As part of this presentation a list of options were given to address deteriorating streets. These include four main options: Option No. 1 Mill and Overlay (partial depth mill) Option No. 2 Mill and Overlay (full depth mill) Option No. 3 Reclaim and New Pavement Option No. 4 Rebuild the Street Section Option No. 1 is simply not feasible due to the current poor condition of the streets. However, the City Council could consider Option No. 2 Mill and Overlay (full depth mill), or Option No. 3 Reclaim and New Pavement. These street sections would have a lesser structural strength than Option No. 4 (rebuilding) and would be constructed with bituminous curbs. They could be milled again in 15 to 25 years. Consideration could be given at that time whether to replace “as is” or reconstructed to a “new” City street standard which could include concrete curb and gutters. 2. Financial Options 2A. Set the assessment amount per single family residential property throughout the program. Select an amount and adjust annually for inflation either by a set amount or by a set percentage. It could also be stated that the amount of the assessment will be 25% of actual construction cost (as it is now), with a note that the total can not exceed this set amount. Example: set assessment as $3,000 for 2008, $3,100 for 2009, $3,200 for 2010, etc. However if 25% of actual construction cost for 2009 was $3,050 the assessment would be set at $3,050.
