MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, October 27, 2014 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 25 of 32 (11. PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN, Continued) Martini stated if you look at the type of rehabilitation that is proposed in the plan, on an annual basis it equates to approximately $250,000 per year for a 10-year period. As was discussed at the previous meeting, the City has approximately 30 miles of roads identified in the Pavement Management Plan that would fall into the range of potential seal coating and crack sealing, which would be included in the $250,000. The mill and overlay work would amount to approximately $325,000 per year for 10 years, and $3.2 million is allocated toward reclamation or reconstruction. Martini stated the goal of the City should be to regularly maintain the roads before they get to the point of requiring reclamation or reconstruction. Some information has also been added to the plan on the bituminous trails located within primarily the northern part of the City. Martini indicated they looked at a number of different rehabilitation options for the trails, including removal and replacement of areas that have settled or are severely cracked and preventative maintenance. Martini stead when they looked at the rehabilitation methods and the needs, approximately $191,000 was identified over a 10-year period, for an annual need of $19,000. McMillan noted the trail along Brown Road appears to be in the worst shape. McMillan asked if the trails have been prioritized. Martini indicated the trails have not been prioritized and that they primarily looked at areas that have settled or cracked. McMillan asked if MSA money can be used for trails if it is along an MSA road. Martini stated it is his understanding MSA money can be used if the trail is alongside of an MSA road but that he will verify that. Printup commented that trails are becoming more and more popular. Martini stated Staff is looking for any questions or input the City Council might have on the plan before it is finalized. McMillan stated she has the old pavement management plan but not the updates. Levang asked if a final document will be created. Martini stated the updated document has been loaded on the website and that he will provide some hard copies. Levang stated she likes the inclusion of the trails, which is something the City has not looked at before. Levang asked if there is a similar rating system for the trails. Martini stated the rating system for the trails is on a scale of 1 to 10, which is similar to the roads. Martini noted Ferndale is one trail where there is curb and gutter along the roadway as well as some catch basins. Martini indicated the report identifies where the trails have settled and other maintenance items like that.
