<br />2. Background. At the May 29th Council meeting four streets were selected for maintenance in 2019
<br />and design and engineering was authorized. Throughout the summer Staff and our consulting firm,
<br />Bolton and Menk, have been preparing plans for the selected streets
<br />3. Scope. The projects consists of the reclamation and/or mill and overlay of the bituminous pavement,
<br />select subgrade corrections, and the replacement / improvement of the associated stormwater systems for
<br />the Forest Arms Lane, East Long Lake Road (South), Tonka View and Chevy Chase Drive. Mr. Dave
<br />Martini, P.E. will provide a brief overview of each street at the works session.

<br />5. Funding. The engineering as well and the eventual projects will be funded with a combination of the
<br />Pavement Management Fund, Utility Funds, and Stormwater Fund. Adequate resourcing of the Pavement
<br />Fund continues to be of concern. Adequate funding for the 2019 projects is based on several assumptions:
<br />one, an increase in the pavement levy for 2019 to $ 544,450; two, available positive fund balances from
<br />2018 of $500K; and that $100K of water tower lease revenue remains dedicated to street maintenance.

<br />6. Ferndale Road N. The City of Plymouth is looking to mill and overlay Ferndale Road N in 2019.
<br />The Road is shared between the two cities and is an MSA road for Orono. Estimated cost for Orono will
<br />be $75,000 of pavement and $50,000 of Stormwater. The City's MSA balance is 0, however Plymouth
<br />has expressed a willing ness to bill Orono back over a services of years in order to keep the project
