The following are the minutes of a Public Improvement Hearing Special Meeting of the City Council held at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, December 6, 2010 in the City Council Chamber, City Hall, 590 40 Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, MN. CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL Present: Mayor Peterson, Council member Williams, Council member Nawrocki, Council member Diehm, Council member Kelzenberg PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING: 2011 SEAL COAT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM A) Street Seal Coat Project 1) Presentation of Information on Seal Coat Project by Staff Kevin Hansen, Public Work Director, stated this is a yearly program and he listed the boundaries of the Zone. He explained the seal coat process. This program is 100 percent assessed to the streets and adjacent avenues. The proposed rate for 2011 is $297. We have not seen big increases for the last three years. The term of payment is one year and this requires a 4/5 vote. Williams asked the number of years the life of a road is extended by seal coating. Hansen stated that we try to do this work every seven or eight years and should extend the life of the road for up to 25 years to before extensive work is needed. The intent is to get over 75 years out of these streets. Nawrocki asked when the next time we expect any street work would have to be done in this area. Hansen stated that we would be back in this area in eight years to evaluate the streets and make a recommendation on the work needed. With this program, we are doing more road maintenance work than major reconstruction. Nawrocki asked when the last assessable work was done in this area. Hansen stated this area was done in 2003. Where we do this work, the first seal coating is paid for by the City. 2) Questions and Comments on Seal Coat Project No comments were brought forward.
