Mr. Schwartz briefly reviewed the proposed 2011 work plan for infrastructure replacement, including 15.37 miles of seal coat; 2.71 mill and overlay; 0.47 miles of reconstruction; 0.50 county reconstruction; and 0.76 miles of potential state mill and overlay; all detailed in the staff report dated September 28, 2010. Mr. Schwartz noted that the associated Aladdin Street storm water project would receive funding assistance from a grant received by the Grass Lakes Water Management Organization (GLWMO) partnering with the City of Roseville, for treatment of storm water through a series of rain gardens. Discussion included additional state and county projects and involvement of the City for portions of those projects; Engineer's cost estimates for the various projects; funding sources; replacing utilities and underground infrastructure as part of some of the projects; and projected annual maintenance funding to retain actual needs. Member Vanderwall, in his role with the School District's transportation routing, requested that the Dale Street project plans provide keeping the road open through the end of the school year if at all possible. Mr. Schwartz reviewed reassessment of pavement conditions and some past pavement applications that were failing prematurely, requiring more frequent mill and overlay applications at added cost; state studies looking into those failures during the early 1990's to determine the cause of failure, whether oils used or mix designs, given the extent of failures beyond those in Roseville; and adjustments to the City's Pavement Management Program (PMP) annually as failures are observed. Further discussion included short- and long -range planning and adjustments accordingly; some older pavement applications performing better than those installed in the 1980's and 1990's, with additional research being performed to determine the reason for that improved performance; petition received for installation of a sidewalk by residents on Iona and Dale based on safety and speed, moving that segment ahead of the Victoria project, even though their pavement conditions were similar; types of soil impacting the type of pavement distresses found. Chair DeBenedet opined the need to take speed study and citizen concerns seriously and increase the police presence and issuing tickets as indicated. Mr. Schwartz noted that the Police Department was aware of various speed studies, and were very cooperative to citizen concerns and stepped up their presence and enforcement as warranted. Additional discussion included how utility needs are incorporated into street projects; televising lines to determine flow; water line break history on cast iron Page 7 of 10
