~ii~ Council Minutes of 2/7/2007 L contractor to do slab repair would he around $500,000. Mr. Miller asked if it would be more cost effective to do a complete tear out? Mr. Talton said that slab repair is not a beveled finish, it is j ust a base. Mr. Limpert stated that slab repair is different than prep-work for eventual asphalt overlay. Mr. Barker asked if we do concrete slab prep-work. for an asphalt overlay will that reduce the cost? IVIr. Miller said that asphalt overlays are about 40% less than concrete repairs. Mr. Kennedy said he would like the exact numbers on the concrete prep-work this year anal asphalt overlay next year. Mr. Limpert said that an overlay has to be put into the borrowed funds, and we have to bid this out quickly. Mr. Limpert said that he recommends that we make a decision. quickly because the proposed 2007 streets should be added to the bid for Great Northern .Blvd. project. He stated that he would have a solid plan for concrete slab repair and crack sealing. 1VIr. Barker asked if there could be two borrowing ordinances -one for the 2007 projects including Great Northern and one for the streets Mr. Talton is proposing? Mrs. Copfer said that they would not issue separate notes for something like that because it is most cost effective to put them. together. Mr. Orlowski asked if Mr. Limpert sent a list of streets to the County that needs repair work done? Mr. Limpert replied that they have been applying for money to repair county roads but have been repeatedly told that there is not money available; he will continue to submit street repair lists to the county. Two members of the audience, Susan Takacs and Helen Leeb, spoke out regarding the condition of their street, Laurell Lane. They were told by a previous administration that their streets would be repaired and for 5 years have been. coming up to council. meetings and writing letters and feel they have had no relief. They have been extremely patient in waiting so long and putting up with patch work that is not quality. The committees agreed. to wait for the numbers that Mr. Collins and Mr. Limpert would get to them regarding the Laurell Lane area and would meet again on Tuesday, Feb. 6 at 7:30 p.m. 3) On Tuesday, February 6, the Streets & Transportation and Finance Committees met.

Collins if they could give the committees an update on the Laurell Lane area, where the Engineer had agreed to go and meet with Mr. Talton and residents and see the damaged areas of the street anal give us cost estimates. Mr. Limpert said that to do an asphalt overlay only, with no concrete prep wark, would be approximately $178,000. Concrete prep work would be approximately $50,000. Mr. Limpert believes that it would be wise to do the concrete prep work in-house and. then. perhaps modify future street rehabilitation project years to include these areas for an overlay. NIr. Collins said that he did meet with Mr. Talton and a resident of that street and he sticks by the original street rating of a 6; he said that there are certain. slabs that can be rated as a 2, but overa]] the street 12 ._
