� Construction cost: The city's matching construction cost is estimated to be $450,000. This cost is significantly l,e�ss than the estimated e�sting infrastructurereplacement costslneeds discussed in the previous section. � On.°�� maintenance cost: The City has appro�mately 60 miles of e�sting off road pathways and sidewalk Our yearly cost for these facilities is appro�mately $4000/mile for maintenance, upkeep, and replacement. This proposed pathway would add 3.25 miles to the overall City pathway system. • Ri�ht- Of- �T�� Acc�uisition: These costs are not eligible for federal funding and would be a cost we would need to address. We have not finalized the alignment of the pathway at this time; and until this is established, we are not able to confidently estimate right- of- way costs. Proposed Funding Sources for City Costs Staff has identified three possible sources for the city costs related to this project. They are as follows: - Pathwav Maintenance Funds: $140,000 Existing pathways in this corridor are planned for replacement at this time. This amount would be captured from the 2004 and 2005 annual budgets. - Storm Utility Funds: $100,000 -$200,000 (amountto be identified by actual storm sewer needs) This corridor has existing storm drainage needs. If the trail is not constructed, the storm utility would fund these improvements in the future as they are undertaken. - Construction Funds: $200,000 -$300,000 (Depending on right-of-way needs) Staff feels the Construction Fund could absorb the remaining city match and right-of- way costs. ■ Existin� En�ineerin� Bud�et: The majority of the engineering and construction administration will be done by existing staff. Process: We will meet with corridor property owners to help us identify issues and address the concerns that they might have. We have met with the following commissions to have them comment and make a recommendation on the proposal:
