A. 1993 Street Project Report

each project including patching, seal coating, overlay, rebuilding, and replacement of a concrete
apron.
The staff responded to questions from the Councilmembers regarding warranty coverage on
problem streets. The Council and staff discussed the issue of wear on City streets caused by
garbage trucks. The Council agreed that the staff study a number of paradigms with a view to
developing an alternative garbage removal system for the Council's consideration.
B. Discuss a Proposed Policy on Special Assessments for Street Reconstruction Projects
Hurm reviewed the special assessment policy proposed by the Street Reconstruction Financing
Task Force, presented a unit method of special assessment prepared by Engineer Dresel, and
presented a number of policy questions for the Council's consideration. Hurm indicated that the
Task Force recommended a special assessment policy to distribute the cost of improvements on
an equitable basis to those benefitting from a specific improvement rather than financing
improvements from the General Fund.
During discussion, staff responded to questions from the Councilmembers regarding the policy.
It was agreed that additional information on specific policy and financial considerations would be
provided for discussion at the Council's next work session with a view to expeditious approval and
