There are approximately 80 miles ���.�C�`4�� , Noti�e of Public Hearing -3- February 13, 1973 . of unimproved streets and 100 miles of unimproved alleys in the city. Because they are City right-of-ways, the City has the responsibility to perform minimal repairs and maintenance work on them to reduce any hazards or potential hazards. Proposed 1973 Level of Services: The maintenance and repair of these streets and alleys will consist of patching, minor blading, placing of crushed rock and other stabilized material in order to make them passable and reduce hazards. Proposed 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 one-half of the standard residential street assessment proposed under Class III , or $.10 er front foot. Under alleys we again propose an assessment of one-ha f of the aliey assessment pro- posed under Class IV, or $.05 per front foot. These assessments will pro- vide the bare minimum funds necessary to take care of these unimproved streets and alleys. 1973 PROPOSED EXPENDITURES FOR STREET MAINTENANCE - CLEANING AND REPAIR Administration $ 173,500 Downtown Cieaning and Repair 150,000 Outlying Commercial and Arterial Streets 900,000 Residential Cleaning and Repair 1 ,207,000 Oiled and Paved Alleys 180,000 Unimproved Streets and Alleys 100,000 Street Cleaning and Repair Equipment 130,000 Total $ 2,840,500 Source of Funds Municipal State Aid $ 39g,000 Trunk Highway Maintenance Aid 165,000 County Aids 175�000 Total Aids $ 735,000 Assessments Downtown Streets $ 63,000 Outlying Comrnercial � Arterial Streets 725,000 Residential Streets 1 ,015,000 Oiled and Paved Alleys 177,500 Unimproved Streets and Alleys 125,000 $2,105,500 $2,840,500 ,. .-.,�. .�.., -�, • ���I'�V:?[9 Noti�e of Public Hearing -4- February 13, 1973 .
