2 December 2000 • Two proposed projects initiated under new policies, one residential, one possible Municipal State Aid (MSA) January 2001 • Results of property owners survey presented to the City Council. Majority of the Residential Project owners request no improvement. Majority of Co. H2 owners’ requested reconstruction with MSA Standards. Staff authorized to proceed with feasibility study for Co. H2 reconstruction. Residential project put on hold pending further Council review and discussion of Assessment Policy and street standards. February 2001 • Staff presents short presentation of funding options for Council discussion and consideration, seeking direction. Staff has received a few inquires from the residents of the proposed residential project as to the status of the project. Staff has been unable to provide them with a definitive answer other than no decision has been made, pending further Council discussion. Staff provided Council with five options regarding the residential project at the January work session. These options are: 1). Abide with the survey results returned by the residents in which No Improvement would be made to any of the streets proposed. 2). Proceed with the minimum measure (overlay) on all streets, assessed accordingly. 3). Proceed with the recommended measure of rehabilitation for all streets. 4). Schedule additional meetings to attempt to establish a consensus, that some type of improvement is necessary. 5). Move on to the next scheduled improvement, notifying the residents that no preventative pavement management measures will be taken on these segments of streets and No Improvement will be scheduled, unless the residents petition the City for an improvement, at which time the City will perform the initially recommended project, if the pavement condition warrants it. A number of comments were received from residents at the informational meetings such as; no need for new streets, no need for sidewalks, will increase traffic and speed, cost is too much. It is unclear if any one component of the proposed improvement that is dominating the negative support, although the need for improvement and assessments seem to be the highest mentioned. Some residents did request some type of improvement which would improve the street condition and correct drainage issues. Staff provided Council with a few funding mechanism at the last work session. They were presented to generate discussion and provide direction to staff, possibly enabling staff to formulate an assessment policy revision, construction standard revision, and a future funding mechanism for street projects.
