74 replace this infrastructure <br />7 5 4. Storm Sewer system improvements: An extreme rain evert occurred this summer on July <br />76 16, 2011 , that caused flooding in several areas of the City. Since the storm., staff has <br />7 completed several studies to analyze the existing drainage systems and localized flooding <br />8 issues. The studies also identified potential improvements throughout the neighborhoods that <br />9 would reduce the level of flooding. Staff is now working on developing a 2012 drainage <br />4w. <br />improvement project to alleviate some of these flooding concerns. The specific locations of <br />improvements are being identified as the project plans are being developed and will be <br />communicated to the Council at a later date. <br />5. Seal Coat. Pave ment maintenance policies support an annual seal coat program. of <br />approximately 14� -15 miles of city streets each year. This consists of applying a thin film of <br />bituminous oil and covering it with fine aggregate. These treatments have proven to add a <br />� 6 <br />minimum of 10 years to the life of the pavement. with potential continued budgetary <br />constraints in 2012,, we may need to reduce the size of the program depending on the bid <br />prices received in February 2012 for materials. Asphalt material prices continue to be <br />a „lea „li <br />�9volatile. It is expected that these prices will continue to rise. <br />go 6. Pathwa Work will continue on the federally funded pathway along Fairview Ave. from <br />9111 the Rosedale area to the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota. This project is <br />92 anticipated to be completed by the end of summer 2012. <br />93 FINA.NCIAL IMPACTS <br />94 The Street Infrastructure Fund interest earnings support the local street Mill and Overlay <br />95 program. Due to current construction costs this level of program may be in jeopardy for future <br />96 years due to lower interest earnings. MSS street overlays are proposed to be funded from the <br />7 City's MS . account. Utility improvements are funded from the respective Utility enterprise <br />99 The sealcoat, crack sealing, and major patching are funded from the street maintenance budget. <br />1 4w. 4w: This budget is supported by the general fund tax levy and MSS maintenance allocation. Staff <br />1 4w: 1 recommends funding a program consistent with our pavement maintenance policies. we expect <br />1 4'w. 2 material costs to increase with the rise in oil industry related costs. <br />1 4w. 3 By taping action now, the Council will be authorizing staff to world on plans for the projects as <br />1 4w.4 described.
