Finance Committee - 4/18/2018 Page 11
Mr. Dookran
| don’t know if we have it available on the web site but we could arrange for that. However, | could let you
know where we are with paving condition surveys. So the company that we use is Stantec, the report they
produced in 2016 was based on another company’s work done in 2015. So we have some of that information
that’s old now, it’s going to be 3 years old so | don’t anyone to be misled and to believe that their street is in
this number. So last year, Stantec was able to look approximately half of the city streets, mostly in the
southern area of the City. And this year, we have already contracted with them to do the northern side and so
by when they are done their work in a few months, we should have information that is pretty current regarding
the condition index. And maybe that’s the best time to make it available to the public.
Alderwoman Kelly
That would be great, thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Any other comments?
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Down under the sewer rehabilitation it says 2017/2018 does that mean that you did some of these?
Mr. Dookran
Let me just take a look at that list.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
| think it’s the last page.
Mr. Dookran
Ok what that means there is that the sewer work is already done and these are streets that the sewer program
would have had to pay for to restore the street because of the sewer work. So we are using sewer funds to
pave those streets. | think they have been identified. So the sewer work is done now the paving program is
going to come back and pave the street. That’s the whole idea about separating those. They are funded
differently.
Mayor Donchess
So those get paid out of the sewer user charges, the sewer fund because as a result of the rehabilitation of the
sewer, the street had to be torn up, and so the repair will be paid for out of the sewer fund in those eight
instances, as opposed to the regular paving bond.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Okay thank you.
Alderman Caron
Thank you. So you were talking about the sewer, they paved but they are supposed to repave that this year
because of the poor quality of paving that was done on that road? Am | correct? That’s not listed here so | just
want to make sure.
