. Capital Improvement Program. The current $120,000 gravel improvement from Highway 169 to just west of Quinn Street is the minimum project that can be done to improve the condition of the street. 7. The total project is estimated in the $115,000 to $120,000 range. If authorized in the next few weeks, this project could still be completed this year. The funding for this project is projected to come from the Street Reserve (50%) and the Capital Projects Reserve (50%). In past years, the City has used gravel tax monies to supplement general funds to do improvements on gravel roads and other City streets. In 1988, the west end of 221st Avenue was regraded and surfaced with 6" of Class 5. In 1989, 189th Avenue and Troy Street was surfaced with Class 5 and Waco Street south of TH 10 was widened in preparation for an asphalt resurfacing project. . In 1990, 189th Avenue and Pascal Street and 188th Avenue and Albany Street were graveled. In 1991, 227th Avenue east of County Road 32 was covered with geotextile fabric, about 1-1/2 feet of sand fill, and a layer of Class 5 was applied. In 1992, 223rd Avenue east of County Road 32 was covered with a layer of Class 5. Grant Street north of County Road 21 was regraded and covered with a layer of Class 5, and Monroe Street north of County Road 21 was covered with a layer of Class 5. In 1993, 213th Avenue west of County Road 13 was covered with a layer of Class 5. Each year, one mile of Class 5 resurfacing is budgeted through General Funds and Gravel Tax monies. The material cost is about $7,000 annually. Considering hauling and placement expenses, the cost to the City is about $20,000 annually for work on gravel roads. Gravel tax revenues are slightly higher than this level and the balance of funds are spent on street maintenance and repair projects. . At the June 20, 1994, meeting, the City Council requested that this issue be brought back to the Council for further consideration. The Mayor indicated that he would be willing to look at other proposals to improve 221st Avenue.
