there are indications of whether a more than normal number of pavements at a certain age have deteriorating pavements, observed by surface distresses. Mr. Schwartz noted that this is not an exclusive City of Roseville issue, but under discussion by the industry metro-wide. Mr. Schwartz clarified that surface raveling had little effect on overall pavement ratings under the current methodology, but with further examination and study being performed by transportation and engineering staff at the state, county and local levels to determine if this is a materials or construction issue. Member DeBenedet asked staff, for the next discussion of the PMP, they provide a plot map showing marginal streets (in the 50-35 range), then adding poor(below 50) and other streets with surface distress to provide a more accurate picture of what the City was facing over the next 5 years to 10 years. Mr. Schwartz noted that the program indicated an overall rating of just over 80, but staff considered it to be lower, with the City's overall goal currently to maintain the street network at a level of 75 or higher. Current Funding • Infrastructure Fund = $13 million plus • Minnesota State Aid (MSA) Streets = $900,000 for 2014 construction allotment • Street maintenance annual budget Mr. Schwartz reported that, according to Finance Director Chris Miller, the current investment on the PMP is around a 3% annual return; with original assumptions for a return of 5-6% annual return; creating some funding challenges for the PMP. Budget Scenarios Used by the City Council's CIP Subcommittee in Developing the 20-year CID Mr. Schwartz reviewed various funding scenarios for the pavement program showing the backlog of CIP needs. Mr. Schwartz noted, displaying a graph showing current funding, that the Subcommittee found that the City would need to increase the PMP funding and spending to keep the PMP ratings at an acceptable number by increasing the PMP funding by approximately $1 million annually. Mr. Schwartz noted that there would be $300,000 and $400,000 of tax levy available as existing street bonds were paid off in 2014 and 2015. Mr. Schwartz displayed several different budget scenarios for the years between 2014 and 2033, using current average PCI; and the subsequent total backlog created for the PMP for those specific years based on the current maintenance program, totaling $90 million. At the request of Member Felice, Mr. Schwartz responded that the deterioration and condition index was not directly related to traffic only. Mr. Schwartz advised Page 5 of 12
