Council Minutes of 4/4/06 new way to fix roads, this is being done with asphalt and not concrete. This azea needs some very serious patching to get it through one more year. Service Director Limpert: explained the process is not just an asphalt overlay, but the bad concrete is removed from joints, concrete is put back underneath and then an asphalt seal is pieced over the top. This prevents water from getting down those joints and exploding it. Each development will be looked at for what will be the most economical way of handling it. Economical does not mean cheap, it means over the long haul what will give the best service for the longest period of time for the best use of tax dollars. Councilman Miller said that same repair procedure was used at the Edgepark end of Westlake. He is starting to be won over to that method since, when he drives on the Westlake portion of Edgepark, it is a much smoother and quieter ride. It's appearance is somewhat uniform as opposed to the patching that has been done. Mayor O'Grady said he wanted to emphasize with residents that the city is very aware and concerned about the condition of road surfaces. The city is going to work diligently, efficiently and well with new innovations and new equipment to make sure to do the right job. He will not make false political promises and say the streets can be done next year. He suggested the residents continue to attend meetings and stay in touch with Service Director Limpert and their Ward Council Member. 4) Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, noted that each Council Member has the responsibility to represent the constituency of this community to the best of their ability.
