20117 TIIUIIIA VIII^.III'RIII AY 11:1111101GIRAIM <br />Introduction <br />In 2013, Centerville's public works staff suggested moving to a new method of pavement <br />management for the City's streets. Having completed more intensive reconstructions or pavement <br />replacement projects on most city streets, the city's streets were now just in need of more routine <br />maintenance. Given some experience with prematurely failed seal coats and with new information <br />from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, it was decided to move to a program of thin <br />bituminous overlays, rather than traditional chip seal projects. This year's project would mark the 4m <br />consecutive year of administering the Thin Overlay Program. <br />PROJECT FINANCING <br />The city council has recovered portions of the project costs through special assessments in each of <br />the three previous years, with the remainder coming out of the City's general levy budget for the <br />Thin Overlay Program. Last year the city's street fund was supplemented with a contribution from <br />the State ftirough Local Government Aid (LGA) and the State Aid for Local Transportation (SALT) <br />Program. At this point, similar funding has not been committed in the state's budget for 2017. <br />Additionally, in 2016, the city began collecting franchise fees through private utilities serving the <br />community. These funds are intended for use in the street fund and Thin Overlay Program. This <br />report outlines the proposed project financing methods. <br />City of Centerville Page 2 <br />2017 Thin Overlay Program C 193803766 <br />
