ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—April 26, 2010 12 7.B. Adopt Resolution 2010-023: Awarding Bid for the 2010 Pavement Management Program (continued) Councilmember McClung stated the larger problem with Valentine Crest Road is the sanitary sewer problems. This affects the whole City and the City's insurance rates. When looking at liability it is the swaying factor. Councilmember Holden stated she does not agree with having a mill and overlay done on Janet Court at this time. This is premature and could be added to another PMP project in the future. She also stated she is struggling with Valentine Crest Road because this is twelve houses. It needs to be done but she would like to see the City do it wisely. The residents are paying $8,000 and the City is paying $8,000 plus the cost of the sewer repairs. At this time the concerns for the sewer are in the future they may cause problems and if the City can get another twenty years out of the road by doing a mill and overlay then this is the route they should look into. She asked if the City had two sets of televising for this segment to determine if the sagging has gotten worse Public Works Director Hoag stated the televising of these segments identified the problems but there is not another televising to compare this to. He stated there have been slow moving sewer problems in this area and there was one backup. Councilmember Grant stated the condition of the street should drive the project not the sewer. He stated this may not be the time to do the street but it would not be long before it needs to be done. If the City is recommending reconstruction at this time then it will be reconstructed in the future. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClunLy seconded a motion to Remove Janet Court from the 2010 Pavement Management Program, Councilmember Grant asked Councilmember Holden to explain why she would recommend this. Councilmember Holden stated it is premature and it can be added to another project in the next couple of years. It says in the write up this is being done earlier than needed. This is a mill and overlay that can be included with another PMP project in the future. Councilmember McClung stated he would support this because it is separate and distinct from the rest of the neighborhood and is only being done as part of the neighborhood concept versus being based on the numbers. Councilmember Grant stated as a neighborhood project Janet Court is its own neighborhood and it may not be economically viable to do at this time. The amendment was called to a vote. The amendment carried (3-1)
