When I was elected to council in 2002 there was not pavement <br />management plan for the city. The council at the time came up with the current plan that we are doing now. <br />Go through each road and rate them as to what shape they are in. The really bad ones get done first then we <br />would work our way down. The first phase was in 2004, the second phase is for 2009. The reason your road <br />has not been worked on is because why stick money into a road that needs to be replaced? As part of our plan <br />we are doing resurfacing/crack filling on newer roads and we will do the same on the roads in 2004 and <br />eventually the roads in the 2009 project. <br /> <br />I want to look at the water hook up aspect of the project and see if we can come up with a better solution. <br />When roads are ripped up that is the best time to run water/sewer and not to mention the most economical. <br />But I would like to find another option to people having to hook up to city water. I also want to look at the path <br />on Brian Drive to see ifthere is a better option. <br /> <br />Again, thank you for time and it is my honor to serve you on the city council. <br /> <br />Council Member Jeff Paar <br /> <br />In a message dated 5/4/20088:07:45 P.M.

My view may be slightly different then most of the speakers the other night. I <br />live on Prairie Drive & in my view it is definitely in need of repair. I am more than willing to <br />pay my fair share to have it fixed. Where I do agree with the others is that the roads shouldn't <br />have gotten to this point in this short of a time. I along with several of my neighbors feel the <br />roads have been neglected. I'm not sure whether this is because the budget to maintain roads <br />is not enough or whether it is just a case of incompetence on the part of whoever is in charge <br />of getting them fixed. It would seem quite simple to me to develop a schedule in which every <br />year in the spring all of the roads in Centerville are looked at & evaluated for damage. A <br />schedule of repairs could then be implemented in which the roads with the most severe <br />damage would be addressed first. All pot holes & cracks would be filled as soon as possible <br />to maintain the integrity of the roads. It is this common sense approach that seems to be <br />lacking. <br /> <br />With regards to Mill Road, it appears to me to be in great shape. I understand that it is <br />somewhat narrow & sometimes therefore difficult to get through if cars are parked on both <br />sides, but as far the surface is concerned, over all, it iooks great. I can only conclude therefore <br />that there is some other reason it is in line for replacement. The reason seems to be because of <br />the ordinance requiring all residents to be on Centerville city water by a certain point in time. . <br />This sort of government arm twisting concerns me greatly & I wonder what is really driving <br />the city to do this. Are there some other government entities forcing the city to enact such an <br /> <br />5/9/2008 <br />
