Mr. Schwartz provided a brief update on the upcoming roll-out of the Recycling Program by Eureka Recycling for single sort recycling, new wheeled containers versus bins, and every-other week pick-up. Mr. Schwartz noted that Eureka was prepared to deliver carts for two weeks; and residents were informed of the schedule by a flyer in the mail, as well as other media sources, including the City's website.

Mr. Schwartz' presentation covered: goals, policies, maintenance practices; and budget scenarios at various funding levels to demonstrate potential impact on pavement conditions with each scenario. Pavement Management—ICON software program • Systematic approach—20% per year analysis • Annual condition surveys • PCI Rating (Pavement Condition index) • Defined maintenance program based on condition rating—typical condition versus cost analysis • Monitor system condition to recommend spending plan— Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Discussion included variables to move areas up as pavement conditions change or to correlate project areas, and under the overall CIP, including other inputs and factors. Maintenance Policy • Rating 66 — 100 =preventative crack sealing, sealcoating • Rating 36 — 65 =preventative crack sealing, sealcoating, mill and overlay • Rating 35 and under=reconstruction • Goal to maintain an average rating of 75 network condition index Discussion included typical life cycles of pavement, and deterioration based on many factors, including weather, short-term (annual) and long-term maintenance; and visual examples of various conditions and ratings.
