A. Resolution establishing a date for the City Council Public Hearing on the program. 2. A. notice of the Public Hearing, including a description of the work to be performed and the proposed assessment rates and source of financing. 3. A Council Resolution authorizing the Department of Public Works to perform the work as described. We are proposing a 1981 budget of $5,565,000, which is about twelve percent above the 1980 figure. The increase for all residential property would be six cents, from forty-four to fifty cents per front foot. Commercial and industrial property would increase nine, thirteen and eighteen cents, respectively, for locations on residential, arterial and downtown street systems. This increase will provide approximately the same level of service. No unusual maintenance procedures are anticipated for 1981. We plan to cover approximately fifty miles of paved alleys with a rock sealcoat and also plan to sand-seal about one-third of our oiled residential streets or approximately one hundred fifty miles. We also plan to schedule a few short sections of asphalt overlay; some special repairs; some joint repairs and, possibly, some short sections of special grinding maintenance (Roto-Milling) procedures. The date of hearing will be scheduled by Mr. A1 Olson, Council Recorder, at the appropriate council session. We will schedule an informational meeting before the Public Works Committee prior to that time. Please process this quickly, as some legal hearing notification requirements are necessary and the hearing date should be prior to April 1, 1981. Yours very truly, Donald E. Nygaard Director of Public Works DEN:jma , Attachments a�0 Public Heaving -2- CLASS III - ALL RESIDENTIAL STREETS ��`6L}�o Description: Class III service would be performed on all residential streets including oiled streets, paved streets and intermediate type streets. Proposed 1981 Level of Service Residential streets, including oiled, paved and intermediate streets would receive a thorough cleaning each spring which would include sweeping and flushing. Patching and repair work would be done on an as-needed basis. Approximately 150 miles of oiled streets would receive a sand sealcoat. In the fall, leaves would be picked up from these streets. Proposed Assessment: Under Class III service to residential streets, we have two assessment categories. The residential property rate would be $.50 per front foot and the commercial property $.76 per front foot. CLASS IV - ALL OILED AND PAVED ALLEYS Description: Class IV service would be performed on all oiled, paved and intermediate type alleys within the City. Proposed 1981 Level of Service: All oiled, paved and intermediate alleys would receive a thorough cleaning each spring. Efforts would be made to complete the cleaning by June 15th. All routine maintenance, including patching and repair of the alley surface would be performed on an as-needed basis. Proposed Assessment: Under Class IV service, there would be one assessment whether it is oiled, paved or intermediate. An assessment of $.30 per front foot is proposed. CLASS V - UNIMPROVED STREETS AND ALLEYS Description: Class V service will be performed on unimproved streets and alleys. By unimproved, we mean those streets and alleys that have not b een developed for one reason or another. They are platted city right-of-ways; however, the abutting residents have never petitioned for their improvement nor have there been any assessments levied. Because they are City right-of- ways, the City has the responsibility to perform minimal repairs and maintenance work to reduce hazards. Proposed 1981 Level of Service: The maintenance and repair of these streets and alleys will consist of , . Public Hearing -3- �y-'j�„��o rri� / v . patching, minor blading, placing of crushed rock and other stabilized material in order to make them passable and reduce hazards. Propossed Assessment: Under Class V service, we propose the following two assessments. Since there will be no sweeping and flushing involved, the assessment is based only on the patching and repair work that may be needed. For streets, we propose an assessment of $.24 per front foot. Under alleys, we propose an assessment of $.13 per front foot. These assessments will provide the bare minimum funds necessary to take care of these unimproved streets and alleys. 1981 PROPOSED EXPENDITURES FOR STREET MAINTENANCE - Cleaning and Repair EXPENDITURES Administration $ 289,500 Downtown Cleaning & Repair 212,200 Outlying Commercial & Arterial Streets 1,492,000 Residential Cleaning & Repair 2,409,200 Alleys 528,600 Unimproved Streets & Alleys 53,300 Street Cleaning & Repair Equipment 217,900 Street Ordinance Enforcement 37,300 Weed Control on Street Right-of-way 207,000 Paper Basket Pickup 118,000 Total Expenditures $5,565,000 SOURCE OF FUNDS Aids Municipal State Aid $ 754,000 Trunk Highway Maintenance Aid 224,000 County Aid 350,000 Total Aid $1,328,000 A.ssessments Downtown Streets $ 169,000 Outlying Commercial & Arterial Streets 1,259,100 Residential Streets 2,137,100 Oiled & Paved Alleys 630,800 Unimproved Streets & Alleys 41,000 Total Assessments $4,237,000 Total Source of Funds $5,565,000 . • � ��d�b�� , STREET MAINTENANCE 1981 PROGRAM 1980 1981 TOTAL BUDGET $ 4,975,800 $ 5,565,000 Funding Sources: MSA 706,500 754,000 Trunk Highway Mtce. 228,000 224,000 County Aid 346,000 350,000 Assessments 3,675,300 4,237,000 Federal Disaster Assistance 20,000 *** A,SSESSMENT RATES (per front foot) Street Class 1980 1981 I Loop $ 1.32 $ 1.50 II Outlying Commercial & Arterials .89 1.02 II Outlying Residential Arterials .44 .50 III Residential (Commercial Rate) .6? .76 III Residential (Residential Rate) .44 .50 IV Alleys .24 .30 V Ungraded Streets .22 .24 V Ungraded Alleys .12 .13 Dated at St. Paul, Minnesota, this 5th day of March, 1981.
