<br /> . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - AUGUST 16, 1999 2 <br /> Design standards and necessary easements were discussed in an attempt to accommodate various <br /> pavement condition problem areas in the City, including Waldon Place; Hunters Court; Snelling <br /> Avenue; North Hamline Avenue; Ridgewood; Ingerson; and Edgewater. <br /> Mr. Brown provided a bench handout showing the ranks of the Pavement Condition Index (PCI); <br /> his personal ranking reeommendation from an engineering standpoint; and the preferences of <br /> COW1cilmembers as to how they would rank proposed reconstruction and/or overlay projects. <br /> Mr. Brown, for estimating purposes, used reconstruction costs at approximately $250/foot and <br /> overlay at $50/foot. <br /> Mr. Brown was directed to prepare a final report of the proposed PMP for Council review and <br /> action. Mr. Brown was directed to prepare a proposed city policy, based on tonight's comments, <br /> providing preferable standards to attain for construction consistency, with built-in flexibility for <br /> W1ique situations; established criteria and rationale for any deviation from the policy; with <br /> consideration of life cycle; topography; and preparation of a revised map showing a projected <br /> improvement schedule, rather than rank status. Mr. Brown was also requested to show the actual <br /> number of feet proposed for reconstruction and/or overlay in each neighborhood. <br /> Mr. Post pointed out the discrepancy in the scope of projected work and the amoW1t programmed <br /> into the annual and projected capital improvement program over the next five years. <br /> . Staff and Mr. Brown were directed to provide recommendations for candidate projects for the <br /> proposed 2000 Street Improvement Projeet; and to tie the proposed Pavement Management Plan <br /> (PMP) into the proposed five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). <br /> b. 2000 Budl!:et/CapitaIImprovement Plan (CIP) <br /> Mr. Post provided additional information related to the 2000 operating budget a11d Capital <br /> Improvement Program (CIP). A revised summary of the 2000 - 2004 proposed CIP for each <br /> department was also reviewed. <br /> Prior to the next Fire Board meeting, Councilmember Larson sought Council direction in <br /> negotiations with the Lake Joharma Volunteer Fire Department (LJFVD) and the Cities of <br /> Shoreview and North Oaks in relationship to the Alliant Teehsystems revenues and fund balance <br /> and future capital improvements of the department. Councilmember Larson advised that the <br /> funds are now contained in a contingency fW1d for operating expenses and capital improvements, <br /> and that the cities in the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) needed to determine allocation, with <br /> credits to cities. It was suggested that the fund balance remain at a level amount, and replenished <br /> by each City by a pre-established formula. Couneilmembers again expressed their concern that <br /> Alliant Techsystems revenues were being spent in the other communities, but not in the City of <br /> Arden Hills. <br /> Councilmember Larson also requested input from Councilmembers coneerning future fW1ding of <br /> . proposed Lake Johanna Volooteer Fire Department (LJVFD) capital items.
