In response to Member DeBenedet, Mr. Schwartz advised that grant funds were <br /> through the State bonding bill with metropolitan cities included as a group for I& <br /> I bonding money. Out of the requested $8 million, Mr. Schwartz advised that the <br /> Metropolitan Council was scheduled to receive $4 million; and noted that <br /> unfortunately the City of Roseville's system was listed among the "Dirty Forty" <br /> list identified by the Metropolitan Council for needed I& I work. Mr. Schwartz <br /> advised that the City had previously received $150,000 for similar work, and this <br /> year was seeking $400,000 to help fund a portion of 2013 work. <br /> With Member DeBenedet noting that the City's 2013 work plan had been reduced <br /> from past years, Mr. Schwartz concurred, noting that from a reconstruction <br /> perspective, we only have Victoria St. south of County Road B left to reconstruct, <br /> since the remaining streets city-wide were essentially 100% reconstructed, with <br /> only mill and overlay needed based on their PCI. Mr. Schwartz noted that this <br /> also could be attributed to a more "pavement friendly" winter last year. Mr. <br /> Schwartz noted that those streets identified in the 2013 Work Plan represented <br /> those requiring significant maintenance needs. <br /> Mr. Schwartz further noted that the City's 20-year CIP had originally called for <br /> annual revenue specific to those needs over the next five (5) years; however, after <br /> re-evaluation, staff thought it was prudent to reduce to the level indicated in the <br /> ratings. <br /> Member DeBenedet expressed concern that infrastructure needs continue to be <br /> addressed and not deferred. <br /> Mr. Schwartz concurred, noting that any street spending identified for this year <br /> and not spent would be pooled for future years, based on how distressed the <br /> system appeared. <br /> Member DeBenedet suggested a future PWETC discussion include a review of <br /> the PCI city-wide compared with average pavement life cycles and how things <br /> were currently trending. <br /> Chair Vanderwall noted that the City's asset management software would assist; <br /> with Member DeBenedet noting that the City also had a separate software system <br /> specific to PCI. <br /> Mr. Schwartz advised that the City Council had asked the PWETC for a review in <br /> the near future, and as time allowed, to determine if the City's PCI target ratings <br /> were appropriate. <br /> Member Gjerdingen noted his observations with sidewalks lacking ADA <br /> compliance (Commerce Avenue along the MN Department of Education building; <br /> one at the intersection of Commerce and Albert; and another along the Target <br /> property); and asked that those be analyzed for future resolution. <br /> Page 15 of 17 <br />
