The City will evaluate the <br />proposed proj ects in the CIP on a yearly basis. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked City staff for a cost estimate regarding how much the City spends <br />per year on patching and repairing Snelling Avenue. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Greg Hoag said that the City has spent roughly $30,000 over the last five <br />years on labor and materials to repair Snelling Avenue. <br /> <br />4 <br />
