the street or the other. Councilmember McGehee opined this was not something one even <br />typically thought about when purchasing a home, or the potential variables in cost, nor <br />was it part of their normal due diligence in that purchase. <br />Regarding City liability and costs, Chair Stenlund asked if it would be of value to the City <br />Council for the PWETC to make recommendations on a potential ceiling for the cost of <br />rehabilitation of the laterals, capping the cost for homeowners and the point the City <br />should or could step in to share those costs. <br />By consensus, City Councilmember supported that suggested option. <br />Councilmember Willmus expressed appreciation already for this additional perspective <br />from the PWETC, particularly preventative measures. Councilmember Willmus suggested <br />additional consideration should be discussed about potential steps the City can take as <br />laterals are repaired to make sure City inspectors are reviewing and monitoring those new <br />lines from a basic perspective to ensure the longevity of laterals, and avoid added future <br />expenses as part of preventative efforts. <br />Pavement Management Plan (PMP)/Delamination of Streets/Sealcoatin2lMill and <br />Overlav/Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Ratings <br />Councilmember McGehee expressed her hope that any future PWETC fieldtrip would <br />include monitoring and following-up on the delamination issue and research on the latest <br />thoughts and/or technologies to address that issue. <br />Mayor Roe agreed with concerns of the PWETC on potential impacts to streets with <br />delamination and deferral of sealcoating that may have long-term effects on the PCI. <br />Mayor Roe suggested different index standards may be needed in the future to address <br />those correlated costs, while maintaining a balance. As part ofthat review by the PWETC <br />and future recommendation to the City Council, Mayor Roe suggested their review of the <br />City's current assessment policy based on those funding challenges going forward and <br />whether changes were needed in that policy that may include revised cost-sharing <br />calculations for those benefitting from street improvements. <br />PathwayMaster Plan Implementation <br />Councilmember Willmus noted apparent issues among individualPWETC members during <br />their last ranking of the Pathway Master Plan, and no standard criteria in their individual <br />scoring exercises. Councilmember Willmus suggested that the PWETC's first step be to <br />develop such a common set of scoring criteria for their next review and ranking exercise, <br />opining that would be most beneficial to the commission and the community. <br />CouncilmemberLaliberte reported on her research ofpotential grant monies for sidewalks <br />through the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP). Since the City Council <br />continued to hear from residents in their desire for more connectivity, and those sidewalks <br />and pathways were expensive to fund and prioritize accordingly, Councilmember Laliberte <br />suggested additional research on grant funds that may be available to accomplish those <br />efforts. <br />Page 11 of 16 <br />
