PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING: 2009 SEAL COAT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
A) Street Seal Coat Project
1) Presentation of Information on Seal Coat Project by Staff
Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director, stated the 2009 program is sequential, being all of the
streets in Gone 3. He referred to the rnap to indicate the streets included. 1 he city will pay for
most of the streets as it is their first seal coat under the street rehabilitation program. He listed the
streets to be assessed. It will be typical emulsion with trap rock.
Williams asked if the city helps with the cost, because of the tough economic times. Hansen
stated that we do not. Williams questioned delaying the seal coating. Hansen stated it should be
completed every 6 to 10 years. We do it every 8 years. The theory is to seal coat two or three
times before major reconstruction, with crack sealant in the off years. Williams questioned not
seal coating this year and completing two areas next year. Hansen stated that the first seal coat is
the most important after reconstruction.
Peterson stated that Khyber Lane was held back a year because of some drainage problems and
the request for an easement.
Nawrocki questioned the North Upland Crest and Buchanan assessments, which Hansen
addressed. Nawrocki referred to sunken manholes and asked if they will be raised. Hansen stated
that there is a list of manholes to be raised. Nawrocki referred to areas that look like the work
was stopped and started that should be looked at. Nawrocki asked if in 1 C there are street or
avenue assessments. Hansen stated this follows other lot/block styles.
