8. Public Works Committee Verbal Report regarding Ordinances 120-05, 121-05, 122-05, and 123-05. (Pg. 38)

A resident indicated that Council and the Administration include all the private streets when prioritizing future street repair.

Planning & Development Director Jordan indicated that streets that were not officially dedicated would typically have easements.

Public Works Director Beno indicated that if there was a a problem with the watermain and the sewer the City would go in and fix it.

Councilmember Antonio asked for clarification as to if the City plows the street; the response was that the City did and Ms. Antonio further clarified if this would mean a distinction being made from responsibility to the street’s surface versus service to the street.

Law Director Corrigan indicated there were access issues relative to safety forces on private streets.

Councilmember Dever indicated that this is something that would require further discussion as to the City’s liability should damage occur due to plowing.

Councilmember Demro indicated he had a concern about plowing private streets. He said that if a review of other cities was done relative to private developments or subdivisions, the City would be crossing the line between public and private and didn’t believe the City should cross that line. He said he would like the Law Director to look into the propriety of plowing private streets.

Mr. Dever submitted the following report.

Mr. Chairman I’m going to be speaking to Ordinances 120-05, 121-05, 122-05 and 123-05. The Public Works Committee met on January 5, to discuss the Capital Improvement Plan for the year 2006, submitted by the Administration. And the intent, typically on previous Councils the Administration would submit their Capital Improvement Plan during the Budget Hearings which are about to commence next week and probably last for the next three weeks or so or longer. Then at the conclusion of those Budget Hearings as we agree on the Capital Improvement Plan for the City then the City would go forward and start the design process to get these streets up and ready for sale to contractors to commence the work and typically this process would take anywhere from six weeks to three months for them to get that design work completed. In turn we would not start construction on many of these projects until probably in late July, this is in a typical year. As you know, living in northeast Ohio the weather is only condusive to working on roads between basically mid-March if we’re lucky until about mid-November. The intent by the Administration with concurrence by this Council is to move forward with this street improvement plan or infrastructure improvement plan at an early time so we can get the design work done earlier and then in turn get projects out to bid so we start construction on these projects hopefully by around April 1st and we take full advantage of a construction season. This past year we noticed that there were a few road projects that were going late in the year in particular on Chesterland and Wyandotte. We were putting down Asphalt in late November when the snow was flying. That doesn’t work well, we don’t’ get a good product by the end of the day. With those comments, I’d just like to note then that the Public Works Committee had met, in attendance was myself, Councilperson Antonio and Demro, the City Engineer, the Finance Director, the Assistant Finance Director and I think the Assistant Law Director was in attendance also. The City Engineer, back in November, prepared a system utilized by the Ohio Department of Transportation to evaluate our streets. In previous years the evaluation was done by staffing of the Public Works Department and the evaluation of those streets was not kept up on on a yearly basis or possibly was subject to interpretation. This year they invoked an evaluation system that the Councilmembers are aware of that kind of takes out guess work of evaluating these streets, of deciding which ones we are going to do this year. The Administration has submitted a plan as to what streets we’re going to do this year in conjunction to doing wastewater; if the sewer systems, water system is an issue that we just addressed earlier by voting for an increase in the water rates and then also to include the CDBG streets, that’s Community Development Block Grant Streets for this year. Overall this is over $21 million of infrastructure improvements for our community. Going back to it, the City Engineer put together this evaluation. Through the evaluation system the Engineer along with his staff were able to prioritize projects for replacement and repair and some of these projects that were included are going to have water and sewer replacement or just certain repairs done on these streets. The intent is, most of these waterlines, sewer lines are reaching the end of their useful life, in fact they’re beyond it. We have just mentioned Clifton Boulevard; 1901 waterline. That waterline at that time was that wide and now with all the calcium built up, there’s probably only that much water going through that waterline so it’s becoming a safety issue for us to address these issues now. In particular, before we do any sort of improvements on the top of those streets, the Ohio Department of Transportation is coming through to do Clifton Boulevard in approximately two years. They’re going to be resurfacing the road and we have some plans also, we don’t know if we’re going to get the funding for it yet to do some additional improvements to that road. But prior to doing those improvements we have to do the thins underneath the surface which we don’t see. So the intent is to move forward with some of these projects this year so that we can get them done or at least get them started. The Committee basically agreed with the overall evaluation process and the prioritizing that the Administration proposed. Some of the streets that are going to be involved in the improvements include Giel Avenue from Detroit to Merl ; that’s going to have the waterline and the sewer line replaced. Marlowe between Clifton and Detroit which is going to include water and sewer repairs, Franklin Blvd. (between Riverside and Rockway) is getting resurfacing. Robinwood between Madison and the High School and Davis Court over on Coutant and the West Terminus. Other streets include Elmwood Avenue (from Detroit to Hilliard). Arthur Avenue (between Detroit and Hilliard). Franklin(Rockway to Larchmont) and Ferndale (Athens to Madison), Rosewood (Hilliard to Detroit), Archdale(Riverside to Larchmont, Chesterland, (Franklin to Lewis), Elbur Lane (Elbur to the east terminus) and Cliff Drive (Wilbert to Nicholson). And also, there is going to be some water and sewer work done throughout the community. In particular, the one large item that was referenced in the Chairman’s report about the water rate hike is Clifton from Cove Avenue; basically one side of the City all the way to West Clifton which is a $4.5 million undertaking. And this would basically be on the north side of the street. The whole bus line, basically – all the way down. Warren Road, watermain repairs (between Franklin and Madison) there was some already done this year; Oogontz, waterman which the Chairman referred to. The Detroit sewer (from Olivewood to Nicholson). Currently they’re doing some investigative work there as you might have noticed driving up and down the road; the Edgewater Interceptor repairs – Bunts sewer repairs (between Detroit and Franklin). In attendance with us tonight is Lou McMahon from the Citizens Infrastructure Committee and the Citizens Infrastructure Committee was formed late last year to look at our overall capital improvement plans and I was asking Lou if he could stop by, he just came out of a meeting with the City Engineer, and possibly, Lou, you can speak to the plan for this year.

Mr. McMahon indicated the Infrastructure Committee has been gathering information from public and private entities. He said he has heard from people from the City, Grow Lakewood Committee and others. He said that the Committee reviewed the City Engineer’s plan as prescribed by ODOT. Mr. McMahon pointed out that the Committee was comprised of people experienced in infrastructure and public works; a transportation planner, a person who works for NOACA, a person who worked for Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District and he himself is an attorney with Environmental Law. He said that the ODOT tool was used by other cities to address different types of streets in an objective format. To show what condition they are in for reconstruction, resurfacing, etc. He indicated the presentation was thorough. He said that ODOT would be coming back in the spring to go over what has been done with the evaluation.
He said that it was taken into account the streets that need reconstruction today and that an effort was made to balance those dollars that we used for reconstruction of the worse streets to spread some others out for resurfacing so the City didn’t’ face reconstruction. He said that along with that format for ODOT, the Infrastructure Committee also had a presentation from the City Engineer with the information Mr. Dever had provided. He said what struck the Committee and led to the adoption of the format and the adoption of the list was that the system was objective. He said the Committee put together a letter that requested Council adopt the evaluation system.

Mr. Dever stated that there was a question as to providing long-term evaluations and that the Engineer indicated that the streets are prioritized currently and that some streets may advance in deterioration more quickly than others because of the stage they’re in or the traffic that they’re under; cold be truck traffic. He said that also the type of pavement to be used on some of the full depth reconstruction because some of the streets are going to get a deep grind and overlay where others are going to get a full-depth replacement. He stated that there was discussion on using full-depth asphalt which he indicated was called perpetual pavement versus concrete. He said that there are still questions as to which is the better of the two pavements but that the Committee agreed to evaluate the outcome of a full-depth asphalt road. He said there is a savings to using asphalt at this time if oil prices do not escalate too high stating that it is a bi-product of oil and warrants concern.

City Engineer commented on the variables associated with the rates of deterioration in streets.

Councilmember Butler asked if the numbers assume the passage of an income tax increase.

Mayor George indicated that the plan was in place that the funding was questionable.

Finance Director Nogalo indicated what the all the waterline and sewer repairs would be funded by the rate increases.

Mr. Dever indicated that it must be noted that CDBG dollars have also been cut this year.

Mayor George made brief comments indicating support of the process. He said that overall construction costs can be reduced about ten percent with a quicker bidding process. He said that this was a very aggressive street plan. He said the plan is prone to changing factors relative to funding, sewer emergences, and other factors.

Councilmember Demro asked the Planning & Development Director asked what the actual cut was last year. Mr. Jordan responded that it was a three percent cut.

Mr. Demro indicated that the report is indicating money is there and that there is also word that the funding is dubious he would still vote for the ordinances based on the assurance that the funding is there as the plan has been presented.

Mayor George indicated that he wanted to clarify stating that the funding was there for this year’s program and that the long-range plan funding was dubious.

President Seelie indicated that the water rate increase adopted that night gives the City a funding source to do the most appropriate, efficient and effective way of replacing our infrastructure; water mains and streets. He said that he realizes people do not want to pay higher water rates but that it was so important and was a step forward for everyone.

A resident brought up a concern about a porous street. The City Engineer indicated that asphalt today is much more porous. He said it is a much denser and more stable and it is shown that is much better to have water absorb into the asphalt. He said it is an actual better design.

Councilmember Madigan asked why one half of a street is done. Mayor George indicated this was a program of a past administration to stretch dollars. He said that he did not personally like this idea. Councilmember asked if this street will be half done forever. Engineer Albrecht did indicate it did not make the list, that it would have to be marked for at least a deep grind and overlay.

Councilmember Antonio indicated she endorsed the way the plan was proposed, indicated that it did take the guess work out of the process.

Motion by Mr. Dever, seconded by Ms. Antonio, to receive and file the verbal report.

Motion adopted. All members voting yea.
