Based on the current data we have started collecting, the average pavement condition of our street surfaces is 79. This number, according to the Maintenance Strategies chart on the previous page, shows that most of our street segments are in good condition and are recommended for localized maintenance and sealcoating. In an effort to keep our street segments in this condition, we are proposing to increase the amount of streets we sealcoat and crack fill on a yearly basis. We are proposing to increase the program so we can sealcoat all streets every 7-years as recommended. This will be accomplished by putting more resources into our sealcoat and maintenance program. The current allocation for funding of the 2011 sealcoating program is as follows: General Fund $136,700.00 Impact Fees $20,550.00 Total Available- $157,250.00 Miles of street that can be sealcoated in 2011 based on this budget- 8.1 Miles To begin a 7-year sealcoating cycle we need to sealcoat around 20 miles of roadways per year. To complete a sealcoating program that covers 20 miles of roads in 2011, we would need an additional $230,000 in funding above what has already been committed. We have not identified a funding source for the full deficit, but can obtain a large portion of it by modifying our current State Aid allocation. We have historically requested 5% of our allocation be distributed to us for maintenance purposes. This 5% amount was originally estimated to be $57,000 and already included in the estimated revenue sources for the General fund. This $57,000 is included in the $136,700 allocated for sealcoating in the current Streets Budget. We are proposing to increase our State Aid Maintenance allocation from the existing 5% request to the maximum 25% allowed. This change would increase our general fund revenue from State Aid by $197,027. This will change the general fund as shown in the following table: Preliminary General Fund 2011 budget Change Adjusted State Aid Maintenance (Revenue) $57,000.00 $197,027.00 $254,027.00 Seal Coating (Expenditure) $136,700.00 $197,027.00 $333,727.00 This increase would allow the Street Department to seal coat about 18.25 miles of streets in 2011. While this is short of our 20 mile per year goal, it will allow for a program to have our streets seal coated every 7 to 8 years. Attached is a five year forecast of our Municipal State Aid allocation. After next year's sealcoat project is complete, we will reassess the funding sources to insure the changes are in line with the cycle we need to maintain. I will be at the November 8, City Council work session to answer any questions or concerns you have with the above.
