ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 17, 2006 2 . . Does the street have concrete curb and gutter; . Does tbe street need watermain, sanitary sewer, or storm sewer improvements; . Does the street have an adequate base or bituminous thickness; Councilmember Holden asked what maintenance activities will be done for the streets that do not have curb and gutter. Civil Engineer Giga said that City staff will research the possibility of seal coating streets that do not have curb and gutter and are in good shape. In order to capture mill and overlay streets, staff has developed a regional approach. The 2007 PMP includes mill and overlay streets in the southern portion and sealcoats in the northern part of the City. In 2009, the regions will be reversed. Councilmember Larson asked if City staff has done any testing on the roads that are scheduled for mill and overlay to ensure that they have adequate sub-base. Civil Engineer Kris Giga said that City staff will review as-builts and check the current status of the streets to ensure that mill and overlay or seal coating is an appropriate maintenance procedure. Councilmember Grant asked what is the cost difference between a mill & overlay and a . reconstruction project. Ms. Giga said that a mill and overlay project costs less that a full reconstruction projcct. City Engineer Deb Bloom said that a mill & overlay will typically last ten to fifteen years. Councilmember Larson asked City staff how many streets will need to be reconstructed after 2011. Civil Engineer Giga said that City staff plans to provide members of the City Council with a future PMP project plan after 2011. City staff will continue to balance PMP projects. City staffs intention is to concentrate on mill and overlays for the first five years of the CIP. Based on the discussion from the April work session, City staff has incorporated MSA eligible proj ects into the five year CIP. Funds are currently available for a cooperative agreement with MnDOT for the County Road E bridge project.
