Item No. 6 <br />Staff Report No. <br />Meeting Date: March 5, 2001 <br />Type of Business: W.K. <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business 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: Continued discussion of Street Improvements and <br />Assessment Policy <br />Date of Report: August 29, 2018 <br /> <br />Staff has obtained some additional information requested by the City Council the last time this <br />issue was before the Council. <br />1. Eliminating the 25% assessment for Curb and Gutter will add approximately <br />$130,000 to the City cost of a three quarter (3/4) mile project. <br />2. Utilizing the entire franchise fee (4%)for payment of possible bonded projects will <br />still result in an assessment of approximately $2,200.00, for a ¾ mile project with an <br />estimated 100 parcels, for a 20 year construction schedule (10 Projects) <br />3. A franchise fee of 5.3% would be required for the same 20-year schedule to eliminate <br />individual property assessments. <br />4. The established Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings which establish various <br />maintenance / reconstruction, can vary from agency to agency, somewhat of a <br />standard is 0 –35 reconstruct, 36 – 55 overlay, 56 – 90 maintenance. Methods vary <br />with pavement designs and other factors such as drainage, existing curb and gutter <br />and pavement structure. Mounds View’s current threshold PCI’s are 0 – 45 poor, <br />reconstruct & no preventative maintenance. PCI’s of 75 and higher receive <br />preventative and permanent maintenance procedures. The area in between these two <br />PCI’s should be for overlay and mill and overlays, but this procedure will not correct <br />drainage issues in most cases, and the initial pavement structure must be adequate for <br />this application. <br /> <br />Staff presented survey information from the surrounding Cities also at the last meeting. Council <br />made requests for the results and additional information. The following are the results of the <br />initial inquires and the additional information. <br /> <br /> a. New Brighton Reconstructs 2-5 miles per year, replace streets after 30 years, <br />perform sealcoats and crack sealing throughout life cycle, possible mill and overlay on some <br />streets. The average assessment is $1,000.00 per lot, they use no Pavement Management Program <br />but do evaluate pavements internally, do neighborhood improvements and funding is from the <br />yearly capital improvements budget. <br /> <br /> b. Shoreview Reconstructs approximately ½ mile of residential streets per year. <br />Storm sewer is based on square footage; the maximum amount assessed is $1,120.00. This is <br />assessed only one time on the property even if in 10 years they return to do another project on the
