City Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 Page 4 1 Councilmember Webster asked about 31st Avenue with Option 2 not having 31st Avenue 2 reconstructed until 2030. Mr. Messner stated the concerns on 31st Avenue are on the surface of 3 the street. There are a number of potholes on that street and the pavement is rapidly 4 deteriorating. That is why a thin maintenance overlay is being suggested. 5 6 Mayor Stille referred to the chart showing street by street linear feet and forecast for 7 reconstruction and overlays. Option 1 is a combination of redoing 31st with total reconstruction 8 plus a number of streets for mill and overlay. Option 2 includes many more streets would be 9 touched (4.58 miles). His concern is some of the streets are deteriorating at different levels. Mr. 10 Messner stated the City is falling behind on the Mill and Overlay schedule. Street 11 reconstructions have been done for 30 years. Corrective maintenance is needed on many of the 12 streets. If the street deteriorates too much a total reconstruction would be needed. 13 14 Councilmember Webster stated she noticed on the maps, it would impact a significant number of 15 roads in the community. The bad news is it would impact residents on their summer event plans 16 when their street will be Mill and Overlay. Mr. Messner stated Mill and Overlay generally takes 17 2 weeks when a street reconstruction can last a couple of months. When the pavement is ground 18 residents can still drive on the street. Any curb and gutter needing replacement would also be 19 done with Mill and Overlay. If any of the sanitary sewer manholes would need casting repair 20 maintenance. The sanitary sewer would be televised to see if there is any work needed. A lot of 21 investigation is done to protect the City’s investment. If curb replacement is needed that would 22 need to cure for 7 days prior to the mill and overlay being done. The City would oversee the 23 contractor completed mill and overlay promptly. Contractors do not being work until after 24 school is out. The City wants to avoid graduation parties or significant other events at resident’s 25 home. 26 27 Mayor Stille stated the Mill and Overlay near his home was not intrusive at all. 28 29 Councilmember Walker asked Councilmember Webster if she considered Option 2 to be less 30 intrusive. Councilmember Webster stated she was concerned about the 4.58 miles and how that 31 would be received by the residents. Mr. Messner stated both options were included in the 32 scheduling and it would actually be July – August doing Mill & Overlays in trying to avoid June 33 events. Feedback can be provided to City Staff at the informational meetings. 34 35 Councilmember Walker asked with two councilmembers being absent should we continue? 36 Mayor Stille stated he feels Option 2 is the way to go as neither Councilmembers have expressed 37 their opinion to me. Mayor Stille feels it is important that we are doing this. There has been 38 accelerated deterioration on some of these roads. He feels a decision can be made this evening. 39 Councilmember Walker stated he agrees that if Option 2 is selected the road deterioration over 40 the winter would be addressed. An example of road needing maintenance is Councilmember 41 Walker’s street. 42 43 Mayor Stille asked if there was a consensus for Option 2. Councilmember Webster stated she is 44 thinking through the pros and cons of each option. Mayor Stille noted it would cost more money 45 if both Options are researched. City Engineer Messner stated Option 2 would be the best option. 46 The feasibility will be approved at a later date. 6
