A date will be scheduled within the next two weeks. 5) During the recent discussion of capital improvements, it was discussed that the HVAC project requires a significant time for ordering and delivery to meet the product timelines. Therefore, Resolution No. 99-15 authorizes the Finance Director to temporarily advance $300,000 of unappropriated funds from the worker's comp rebate of last year until the formal borrowing that will occur this spring. Mr. McKay, Chairperson of the Streets & Drainage Committee: 1) The committee met in joint session with the Finance Committee on January 27 to discuss capital improvements for 1999. Present were committee members Kasler, Limpert, O'Grady, Nashar and McKay; Council members Gareau and Miller; Council President Saringer; Mayor Musial; directors Bohlmann and Copfer. The total program for 1999 will amount to $2,121,000: • Slab repair, $500,000. Thirty-five streets are on the list, but not all will be completed. There will be an asphalt overlay and grinding down of the surface of W. 231, north of Lorain Road. The cost for Maple Ridge between Walter and Columbia will be shared with Westlake. • Street lighting, $100,000, with 26 streets listed. We are in the process of determining how the streets will be completed. One plan is to do the oldest street first as we feel those are the residents who have waited the longest. The other scenario is that some people were promised street lights 10 years ago. This issue will be discussed again. • Lansing Drive storm improvements phase 3, a $500,000 project. The project is in stage 2 at the present time. • Engineering and right-of--way acquisitions, applications of Issue 2 money for Clague and Lorain expansion, $25,000 for 1999. The total funding that we can possibly receive would be $100,000 in the year 2000. • Chestnut-Barton storm ditch project, $150,000. • Gessner Road resurfacing from Lorain to Walter involving grinding to the base and some sidewalk repair, which is an 80/20 project with the county. The city's 20% share would be $36,000. • Brookpark Road phase 2, $130,000 • We hope to get a Community Block Grant project, and the city's share would be $80,000. • Reconstruction of Woodview Drive, $300,000. • Recreation Center HVAC and possible new lighting needs, $300,000 in addition. to the $413,000 from last year. ~~
