<br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 2/26/2024 <br />Item No.: 7.c. <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br /> <br /> <br />Item Description: Consider Ordinance Amending Chapter 707 of Roseville City Code, <br />Right-of-Way Restorations <br />1 <br />2 Background <br />3 Chapter 707.02 of the Roseville City Code deals with right-of-way restoration and permit <br />4 requirements. Staff is proposing this ordinance to clarify some restoration requirements <br />5 and to further clarify when permits can be issued. <br />6 <br />7 The first significant change is the permit requirement application. The new ordinance allows <br />8 staff to deny the issuance of permits unless outstanding issues with other permits are <br />9 fulfilled. This should help encourage utility companies to get restoration projects completed <br />10 more quickly as we can postpone the issuance of new permits. <br />11 <br />12 The second major change gives the City the right to determine who will patch roadways for <br />13 utility cuts. With most small patches, the City would prefer City staff do the restoration for a <br />14 fee that is documented in the fee schedule. Staff feels the restoration fees are currently <br />15 very reasonable and cost effective compared to outside vendors doing the work. Staff <br />16 prefers to do the street patching as we can ensure the quality of the patch and it typically <br />17 gets done sooner. Staff believes if we choose to do more of the patching, it will eliminate <br />18 some complaints about street patching restoration and will keep the street pavements in <br />19 better condition long term. If staff does not have the capacity to perform the street patches <br />20 or if the patches are large, we will require the applicant to perform the restoration. <br />21 <br />22 The City Attorney helped draft and reviewed the proposed ordinance. <br />23 <br />24 Policy Objectives <br />25 It is City policy to keep City-owned infrastructure in good operating condition and to keep <br />26 systems operating in a safe condition. <br />27 <br />28 Racial Equity Impact Summary <br />29 There should be no equity impacts with this ordinance. <br />30 <br />31 Budget Implications <br />32 The ordinance amendments should have no overall impacts financially. <br />33 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />Qbhf!53!pg!335 <br /> <br />
