And we chose streets from that chart and then also 27 00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:37,550 there is any drainage problem, there are special projects that comes up that needs special attention 28 00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:43,010 and also requests from property owners. Sometimes they bring to our attention that we need 29 00:03:43,010 --> 00:03:46,770 this street to be worked on and then we'll take it into consideration also. 30 00:03:48,310 --> 00:03:55,870 The process normally starts with an authorization to prepare a feasibility report by the city council. 31 00:03:55,870 --> 00:04:04,690 Normally, this year, we started this process in August, and I will show you the schedule at the end of the presentation. 32 00:04:06,310 --> 00:04:11,490 And then we started with gathering the information, all the previous projects that were done in the area. 33 00:04:11,890 --> 00:04:23,270 If we have any Asbels, previous Asbels, if we have notes from, if we have notes from residents, calling on stuff, then we include all that. 34 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:29,850 And just on the side notes, this presentation will be on the city website and this session is recorded 35 00:04:29,850 --> 00:04:35,670 and will be on the city website also.

Then we do a televisation of the sanitary sewer and make sure that the main lines are 38 00:04:50,270 --> 00:04:55,550 There is any cracks or any damages, then we make sure that we take care of that at this 39 00:04:55,550 --> 00:04:56,390 time. 40 00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:59,970 We evaluate the water infrastructure like... 41 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,080 As said, public, and then we'll have the public neighborhood information meeting, which is this one here. 42 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,260 After that, we do the preliminary engineering, engineering, design and estimate. 43 00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:20,480 And we present the feasibility report to the city council, and then the preparation of the final plan and specification. 44 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:29,640 The project normally we have a budget for it, the city, a locate certain amount of the cell bonds, 45 00:05:29,940 --> 00:05:33,940 and we have that amount of funding for the project. 46 00:05:34,140 --> 00:05:38,580 But normally we start with a certain area that we choose for the feasibility report. 47 00:05:38,980 --> 00:05:42,900 And as we go along and we do that design and we come up with the quantities, 48 00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:50,420 then we might end up taking some street of the original scope of the project sort of say. 49 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,860 The approval for the project like that will start with the present of a present of the 50 00:05:56,860 --> 00:06:02,740 feasibility report to the city council and conduct the public hearing which will be in January 51 00:06:02,740 --> 00:06:03,600 2025. 52 00:06:04,780 --> 00:06:10,880 So after this meeting we will start doing the preliminary design and we will present it to the 53 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:16,620 city council on January 2025 and there will be another public hearing at that meeting with 54 00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:28,680 city council, if anybody want to come to the city council and voice themselves if they have any concerns or if they have any questions then they can say that that time also. 55 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:42,300 If the project is proceed at the that public hearing meeting then the next step will be the final design of plans and specification and we do the advertisement for bits and award the contract by city council. 56 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:53,400 Notification after that will be procedural and adhered via newspaper and website updates and email notification and letters. 57 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,100 The construction takes place during the summer of 2025. 58 00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:03,860 The final assessment hearing is in the fall of 2025. 59 00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:15,880 assessment will be payable November of 2025 or put on real estate taxes for 10 to 15 years starting in 2026. 60 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:28,100 So the final November 15 is the cutout if you want to pay the full assessment that you will be charged for the project without any interest. 61 00:07:29,620 --> 00:07:51,900 After that, automatically you don't need to do anything, it will automatically go into your taxes, the city will send all these assessment to the county, and you will see him on your taxes every year, spread between 10 to 15 years depending on the amount, the amount less than $10,000 than it will spread over 10 years, if it is more than that, it will be spread over 15 years. 62 00:07:51,900 --> 00:08:00,940 with a simple interest rate last year for 2024 was 4.26 percent and that is annually on the balance. 63 00:08:01,580 --> 00:08:03,740 Not a compound, not anything. 64 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:12,860 So if you have a $5,000 balance, you just multiplied that by 4.26 and that is the interest that goes over the year. 65 00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:20,700 The communication, we start the construction of the email on regular basis. 66 00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:26,140 So the first letter we send out after we award the contract to a contractor. 67 00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:30,760 We send the letter out to everybody notifying them that we have a project. 68 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,800 We have a contractor that was awarded the contract. 69 00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:37,920 And the work will start. We'll put the date on it. 70 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:46,220 And then that will be the last letter we'll send out after that everything will be every two weeks or every three weeks or even every one. 71 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:54,640 Once a week, whenever is needed, whenever there's a change in the project that requires sending an notification to people will send an email out, 72 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,940 notifying you of what's going on, what is the next step, what is the important step coming up. 73 00:09:03,290 --> 00:09:13,310 And of course, these updates will be on the city website also and you can call the engineering department at any time and we can send you a copy also. 74 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,780 For this year, these are the streets that were chosen chosen for reconstruct yellow is the mill and overlay. 75 00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:32,140 Last year we did the south end of liberty and this year we're doing the north part of liberty area and then the red streets are, 76 00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:39,520 I don't know if you can see my pointer, but these are the streets that were chosen for the reconstruct. 77 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:48,980 Elm Street was added in the very end, and I'm pretty sure this Elm would not be on the project this year for sure. 78 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:58,180 Other streets we're still looking into it, but the budget is getting tight already, so we know for sure that Elm Street is not going to be in there. 79 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:10,200 These are the streets that are included in the project, the left are the northern overlay, and the right side are the reconstructed projects, reconstruct streets. 80 00:10:13,650 --> 00:10:25,770 As a general information, the construction project may include utility improvement, like water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, as well as gas, electric, telephone and cable TV. 81 00:10:25,770 --> 00:10:30,950 We not fry all these people of the project going on. 82 00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:34,630 So if there is anything any cable, any electricity, any gas, 83 00:10:35,310 --> 00:10:39,530 this will be the time for them to update their utilities also. 84 00:10:39,610 --> 00:10:41,470 This is not included in the assessment. 85 00:10:41,830 --> 00:10:45,050 Any private utility is not included in the assessment 86 00:10:45,050 --> 00:10:48,030 that is on the utility itself. 87 00:10:50,210 --> 00:10:54,450 It's important to know that the project will be very loud 88 00:10:54,450 --> 00:10:57,730 and there will be heavy equipment, so there will be a vibration industry, 89 00:10:57,870 --> 00:10:59,450 there will be vibration in the houses. 90 00:11:00,070 --> 00:11:05,910 We encourage you to make sure that if you have any valuable hangings on the wall, 91 00:11:06,090 --> 00:11:12,270 if you don't want to break in or fall and just take them out for the period and stone away. 92 00:11:14,610 --> 00:11:18,550 If you're afraid that there might be cracks on your walls, 93 00:11:19,050 --> 00:11:22,790 we encourage you to take pictures and then pictures before and after. 94 00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:27,190 and if there is, if you think that there is something happen because of the vibration, because 95 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:33,170 of the street project, you just have a documentation for that and you can present it at the time 96 00:11:33,170 --> 00:11:39,090 for any damage or repair. Until now, we don't have any of that happen since 1994, but it is just 97 00:11:39,090 --> 00:11:47,290 something we like to mention so that you know. After this presentation, you can contact any of us. 98 00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:53,750 If you have any issues that you want to address, whether it's a problem with your water service, 99 00:11:54,390 --> 00:12:00,070 sanitary sewer service, if it's backing up or neutralizing, if you have drainage problem in front 100 00:12:00,070 --> 00:12:06,970 of your property, if there is tree trimming of branches over streets or other utilities, 101 00:12:07,790 --> 00:12:11,330 and if there is any special events also you have going on in the summer, 102 00:12:11,930 --> 00:12:14,370 would try to accommodate you as much as possible. 103 00:12:14,370 --> 00:12:18,810 If you have a wedding or graduation, we'll try to accommodate these things. 104 00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:24,010 Gride cells, we kind of skip on it, that's up to you, that's not really important. 105 00:12:25,450 --> 00:12:28,250 And there's special medical issues, hardship. 106 00:12:29,070 --> 00:12:34,790 We really encourage you to let us know if there is any special need to have access to your driveway. 107 00:12:35,090 --> 00:12:36,450 We want to have your address. 108 00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:40,090 We'll make sure that the contractor is aware of it. 109 00:12:40,090 --> 00:12:46,270 So you will have 24 hour, seven days a week, access to your driveway, and you don't have 110 00:12:46,270 --> 00:12:48,490 any issues getting in and out. 111 00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:54,670 If you have any driveway problems, also we'll try to solve them at this time. 112 00:12:55,910 --> 00:13:02,210 It is important also to know that if you have any improvement that you did in front of your 113 00:13:02,210 --> 00:13:08,090 property in the right of way, it is your responsibility to relocate this. 114 00:13:08,090 --> 00:13:16,030 If you have a garden, if you have like a small retaining wall or if you have private improvements 115 00:13:17,550 --> 00:13:23,790 like include landscaping, fences, irrigation system or dark fences, some drains. 116 00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:26,150 We encourage you, we'll give you a certain time. 117 00:13:26,170 --> 00:13:28,810 We tell you that the contractor will be in this area. 118 00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:31,130 We encourage you to remove them if you want to keep them. 119 00:13:31,170 --> 00:13:33,270 If you have certain plans, you want to keep them. 120 00:13:33,330 --> 00:13:37,210 It's a good idea to remove them, put them aside and when the project is done then you come 121 00:13:37,210 --> 00:13:46,430 but I'm back. We really be thankful if you have a irrigation system to mark it out, mark all the 122 00:13:46,430 --> 00:13:51,570 heads that you have in the irrigation system, at least so we know. And for sure, there's going 123 00:13:51,570 --> 00:13:57,110 to get hit. There is no way that the road that they'll remove the curb and get into the 124 00:13:57,110 --> 00:14:01,550 boulevard without hitting the irrigation system. We've been having this problem all along. 125 00:14:01,550 --> 00:14:08,570 Last year, I think we had 100 properties that we had a irrigation system that we had issues with. 126 00:14:09,130 --> 00:14:16,190 So, we encourage you to mark it up when you see that the contractors coming to your area just take white flags from Menarzo or anywhere, 127 00:14:16,670 --> 00:14:24,310 and just put them on the heads and this way will eliminate at least a partial of what the damage could be done. 128 00:14:26,190 --> 00:14:33,350 The construction schedule and staging, construction will be staged on segments as much as possible 129 00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:36,910 to minimize impact on residents and businesses. 130 00:14:38,030 --> 00:14:43,330 So the contractor is not going to come and open all the roads at one time and have a mess 131 00:14:43,330 --> 00:14:45,030 in his hand and now our hand. 132 00:14:45,310 --> 00:14:48,490 So it will be maybe one or two streets. 133 00:14:48,490 --> 00:14:55,530 he'll try to, at least, remove the pavement, get it ready, drive a ball and then he can move 134 00:14:55,530 --> 00:14:59,970 to the next section and remove the pavement and get it drive a ball enough for a graph. 135 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:08,040 So that it is not a real mess all over the place. So we'll try to stage it. So it's convenient for everybody. 136 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:20,380 And the communication, if you have any issues that will be either through newsletter or city website, or you can flag any of the staff that will be onsite. 137 00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:28,200 John and Dylan will be on site every day from morning until as long as the contractor is 138 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,860 outworking, one of them will be out there. Maybe not right in front of your property, but they 139 00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:38,720 will be on the site one location or another. So if you have any issues, you can flag any city 140 00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:46,120 trucks moving in the area and they can either answer your question or directly to the right person 141 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,560 to answer it. And the contractor is normally 142 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:54,420 very friendly with residents when it comes to answering their needs. 143 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,820 So you can flag any worker also. 144 00:15:57,020 --> 00:15:59,160 Not all of them know what's going on. 145 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,880 So sometimes they might give you wrong information. 146 00:16:03,140 --> 00:16:04,180 Don't normally. 147 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,180 If you have any questions or concern, 148 00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:10,700 get a different person to answer you or get a hall of me 149 00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:14,700 or hall of anybody in the city that can answer it properly for you. 150 00:16:16,430 --> 00:16:19,030 It is important to also be patient. 151 00:16:20,330 --> 00:16:23,590 The schedule will be impacted by the weather. 152 00:16:23,810 --> 00:16:27,450 I mean, we always have rains and stuff going on. 153 00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:32,430 So the contractors schedule to do certain work in your area for a certain day. 154 00:16:32,870 --> 00:16:36,670 And then all the sudden there's rain coming up and he's working in a different area. 155 00:16:37,250 --> 00:16:40,450 Get delayed over there. He's going to finish that and then move to your area. 156 00:16:40,990 --> 00:16:42,530 So your area will be delayed. 157 00:16:42,530 --> 00:16:50,770 This is normal, it is not because of lack of anything else, it's just because the weather does not cooperate sometimes. 158 00:16:51,070 --> 00:16:54,650 So we just have to be patient with it and understand that delays could happen. 159 00:16:55,290 --> 00:17:04,570 And delays could happen for a number of things, delay of material delivery, of availability of labor, of availability of material and the start. 160 00:17:05,670 --> 00:17:10,290 So delays happen, we just ask for your patients through the process. 161 00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:25,180 Project funding and assessment, water service replacement up to last year was the 100 percent responsibility of the property owner to replace it. 162 00:17:25,180 --> 00:17:31,520 We will replace it and you will have the option to either hire your own contractor to replace it. 163 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:38,000 If it is galvanized or led, if it is copper, you are okay with that. You don't have to deal with it. 164 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:46,360 This year, the Department of Health started the process of replacing basically all the services. 165 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:54,800 So we don't have the OK yet from the Department of Health to replace all these services. 166 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,720 And this is might affect the streets that we will be working on. 167 00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:05,900 Maple and Hickory have about 55 galvanized services. 168 00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:27,980 So if we cannot get that funding this year, we might not be able to do these two because it doesn't make sense that we will do it and charge you for it and then come in two years then funding will be available and then instead of you paying out of pocket 5,000 or 10,000 dollars then it is something that the state will be funding for it. 169 00:18:27,980 --> 00:18:34,820 we're working through that, we haven't initialed note that we might be able to get it yet through 170 00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:41,420 this year. So we might work on areas that does not have water services and we will be notifying 171 00:18:41,420 --> 00:18:45,760 you whether maple or hickory will be on the project or not. Yes sir. 172 00:18:50,540 --> 00:18:52,300 We have the meeting with 173 00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:57,300 them early January and we hope we can get something out of them by there. 174 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,260 Other than that, 175 00:19:01,260 --> 00:19:17,680 The streets, curb and gutter sidewalk, sanitary sewer, water main, and storm sewer, there is a special assessment, normally reconstruction is 70% access to property owners and 30% is carried by the city. 176 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:24,180 Millen overlays 80% access to property owner and 20% is paid by the city. 177 00:19:24,180 --> 00:19:29,880 Like I said funding for private utilities, gas, electric phone and cable TV, these are by 178 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,140 utility companies, these are not included in the assessment. 179 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:41,760 The special assessment process is according to Minnesota Statue chapter 429 and city assessment 180 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,420 policy. 181 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:50,400 We normally use the uniform fair and benefit the property and we do appraisal report to verify 182 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:50,840 benefit. 183 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:59,980 So the state statute allows the cities to assess the properties that improvements on the streets are happening. 184 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:09,380 Standing, abutting their properties. This is in the states that you. But we cannot assess the properties 185 00:20:09,380 --> 00:20:16,160 more than the benefit that the work is being providing to the property. And this is why we 186 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:24,840 hire an appraisal and we randomly select some properties that are small in sizes and big in sizes 187 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:31,740 in the middle and they will do their analysis and they'll do their assessment and come up with 188 00:20:31,740 --> 00:20:38,440 a value that this kind of work will be benefiting these property owners by this much. Now, 189 00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:44,740 if the work at the end is more than that, when we do the calculation, even if it is more than 190 00:20:44,740 --> 00:20:51,840 that value, then we cannot assess you more than what that appraised value is. So that appraised value 191 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:58,500 just an example comes at like last year come on the areas where we're working on came up to 192 00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:06,720 be to be a $10,000. The work was about $12,500. We could not assess them the $12,500. We were limited 193 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:13,460 by what the Fraser was a $10,000 and this was only in one area, it's not the whole area. But generally, 194 00:21:13,820 --> 00:21:19,860 the reconstruct your area, we're looking at it all as one area, so everybody will be assessed 195 00:21:19,860 --> 00:21:26,600 the same amount. The assessment is calculated calculation would be on a unit base. Corner 196 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:32,480 lots would be half unit per side improved and commercial and city properties would be calculated 197 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:41,680 on a linear footage. So we do the calculation come up with the total value or the total 198 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:48,060 amount that the cost will be for the project and then we look at the total linear footage 199 00:21:48,060 --> 00:21:54,800 funding the streets and we divide that amount by that linear footage and that will give us a cost per 200 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:02,560 linear foot of the improvement. Any commercial properties and the city properties will be assessed on a linear 201 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:09,900 footage. So we multiply that linear footage by whatever commercial linear footage or city have and that will be 202 00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:16,300 their assessment. Whatever is left from that will be divided on the number of unit on the project. 203 00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:25,040 So, if there is 100 unit, that is not necessary mean 100 property, it could be 110, because the corner 204 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,280 loss are only half units. 205 00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:33,920 So, if you live on, I'll just give an example, if you live on, let's say, Maple and William, 206 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,340 the corner of Maple and William, you will be assessed half unit on Maple and half unit 207 00:22:39,340 --> 00:22:39,980 on William. 208 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,180 If we end up doing only William, then you will get assessed half unit and then when we do 209 00:22:45,180 --> 00:22:51,200 Maple then you will get assessed the other half. The other properties mid-block will be assessed 210 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,840 a full unit. So everybody will be assessed the same amount. 211 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,320 The assessment for 2025 will be determined 212 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,040 by city council like I said in November when we do all the work and we do all the calculation 213 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:12,340 and we have all the final costs from the contractor. We'll present it to the city council and 214 00:23:12,340 --> 00:23:18,080 be a public hearing at the time also and everybody can come to the council meeting and if you have 215 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:24,100 any issues again or you're going to voice yourself or if you're going to you know challenge 216 00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:29,120 that assessment you will have a process there's a process also to that and you can go through that 217 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,060 system. We normally get update property on our list from Washington County 218 00:23:35,060 --> 00:23:42,040 record and sometimes they are lacking if anybody saw or moved in within the last month 219 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:47,420 I would encourage that, just give him a note, sometimes takes up to six months for Washington 220 00:23:47,420 --> 00:23:54,280 County to update their addresses, and we don't receive him in time, and it's happened 221 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:54,880 in the past. 222 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,940 If you know anybody in your neighbor that moved in lately, just let him know, hey, this 223 00:23:59,940 --> 00:24:05,340 is going on, sometimes the previous owner will give us a call and let us know that, hey, 224 00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:10,480 he moved on, and there's a new person, so we know we go around and look for them, but not 225 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,280 all the time. 226 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,480 So we might lose some people that are not getting notified. 227 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,040 Assessment may be taxed, 228 00:24:18,220 --> 00:24:20,820 there is a lot of revised in 2004, 229 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,260 and you can reference the IRS publication 530. 230 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,740 I don't have much information on that. 231 00:24:27,020 --> 00:24:30,020 You can search it out and you can find out. 232 00:24:33,290 --> 00:24:35,170 The construction process, 233 00:24:35,690 --> 00:24:38,270 we start with a private utility work. 234 00:24:39,010 --> 00:24:41,590 Then we do the tree trimming and removal of necessary. 235 00:24:42,790 --> 00:24:49,630 we will remove trees in the boulevard if they are affecting the sidewalk or they are affecting 236 00:24:49,630 --> 00:24:55,890 the curb. If you see sidewalk in your area that is heaved because of roots then we will come and 237 00:24:55,890 --> 00:24:59,550 the side and we will cut the roots and then 238 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:14,700 And roll, check the tree and, you know, assess whether it's going to survive, or it's going to be, or it will die, or if it's going to be a hazard, with the wind might fall. So we will, might end up taking it out. 239 00:25:15,820 --> 00:25:27,680 And the city have adopted a new policy that we are not putting any new trees in the boulevard between the sidewalk and the curb, because it's causing a lot of damage to curb and sidewalk. 240 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,260 and it's costing a lot of money to do their repairs all the time. 241 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,660 So if we take a tree, we're not going to put it back. 242 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,840 If you want to put it back, by all means you can, but again, 243 00:25:38,060 --> 00:25:41,200 there are a certain type of trees that you can choose from, 244 00:25:42,060 --> 00:25:44,620 that the root system does not affect the sidewalk 245 00:25:44,620 --> 00:25:47,260 and the curb, and you can choose from them. 246 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,120 But the city is not going to plan it. 247 00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:52,520 What I mean is that you can do yourself. 248 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:58,200 Then after that, we do remove and replace damage carbon gutter for your area. 249 00:25:58,380 --> 00:26:05,880 There is no carbon gutter right now or there is the brick carbon gutter or betuminous. 250 00:26:05,980 --> 00:26:09,740 So everything is coming out and new carbon gutter is going in. 251 00:26:10,460 --> 00:26:17,040 We will do underground utility work, subgrade compaction and gravel, base placement. 252 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,340 We install the carbon gutter and then install new concrete dryways and apron. 253 00:26:21,340 --> 00:26:26,220 We'll lay the first lift of the two minutes pavement and then install new 254 00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:31,500 the two minutes driveway and then we'll do the restoration of Boulevard and maybe the final 255 00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:35,820 lift of the two minutes will be the next day depending on how much underground work we will 256 00:26:35,820 --> 00:26:44,000 be doing. A lot of times we excuse me if we do a lot of water services or storm or sewer 257 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,900 water then we make sure that we leave the final lift to the next year just in case there are some 258 00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:55,800 spots. There are some cracks happening in the base layer. We can still come up, catch it up, 259 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:03,120 and fix it before we put the final lift. So we don't have cracks in the final lift. One thing we need, 260 00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:11,860 I need to mention is that the city adopts the policy of having street width about 32 feet. So a lot of 261 00:27:11,860 --> 00:27:20,600 streets in your area are wider than 32 feet. We are going to, most of the places we're 262 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:27,000 going to reduce this, the width to limit them to 32 feet. If it is narrower, we might 263 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,560 keep it as narrow as it is now or we have enough wider way and ball of art. We might make 264 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:40,360 it 32 feet. But that will save you also money and save the city money. There is no basic 265 00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:46,340 need for the streets to be 44 feet where I've been 32 feet all over the city is enough for 266 00:27:46,340 --> 00:27:54,640 parking and two lane of traffic going through. So that's kind of a city I wouldn't say a policy 267 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,760 but that's a city goal to have the streets within 32 feet wide. 268 00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:05,060 The reconstruct projects normally 269 00:28:05,060 --> 00:28:12,260 will be getting into the base layer of the of the streets and the water shed, whether it's a brown 270 00:28:12,260 --> 00:28:17,440 street watershed or if it's a middle-scent cry management organization or the 271 00:28:17,820 --> 00:28:22,800 Kerniolian watershed, they all require that we will have a stormwater treatment 272 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,380 if we get into the base of the street. So if we remove the two minutes, if we remove 273 00:28:27,380 --> 00:28:32,520 the gravel, we are in the base of the street, then we will need to do a treatment for 274 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:39,520 storm sewer system. We might end up adding rain gardens. If you want a rain garden, this is a good. I 275 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:45,020 had time now to let us know. We will check if it is suitable for a rain garden then you will put a 276 00:28:45,020 --> 00:28:51,240 rain garden in front of your property. Other than that if we couldn't find any volunteers, we might end up just 277 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:58,830 doing it ourselves to meet the requirement for the watershed. And also we might end up putting 278 00:28:59,770 --> 00:29:07,950 some other systems that we will try to mitigate, to be able to meet the requirement of the watershed. 279 00:29:09,470 --> 00:29:14,810 And it is not only the watershed requirement, it is the city requirement itself also. 280 00:29:15,030 --> 00:29:20,210 So anybody coming with a new development is the city in cooperation with the watershed. 281 00:29:20,210 --> 00:29:29,450 We normally have a stormwater treatment so we can keep maintaining the ponds and the trees and the stream's clean. 282 00:29:33,050 --> 00:29:42,110 This last said doesn't apply to you mainly for the millen overlay area that we will do a curb cut for a rain garden. 283 00:29:42,570 --> 00:29:49,090 But in your area, we might be looking into some stone, like I said, stone sewer management, 284 00:29:49,090 --> 00:29:54,210 and we might have rain gardens in the area, and I'm pretty sure you also 285 00:29:54,210 --> 00:29:56,270 may go with the rain garden what it is one. 286 00:29:57,580 --> 00:29:59,620 All right, it's just this mold. 287 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:21,740 Depression in the boulevard in front of your property, where the stormwater gets into it, and then there will be flowers and pollinators, and just if you go around into probably eagle-rich area, there is a lot of them over there, you can see it. I think on all of, we have some, right, hundred or two. 288 00:30:23,180 --> 00:30:30,040 Yeah, and welcome's also there's a couple of them. You can see it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 289 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:38,060 So there are just some people like him, some don't. I mean, it is if you like it, if you have the time, 290 00:30:38,260 --> 00:30:43,720 you can clean it up and make it look nice. It's really nice something nice in front of the property. 291 00:30:47,980 --> 00:30:52,880 We're not putting bump-outs, they don't like the bump-outs, I know where you're going. 292 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,720 No, we're not, we're trying to put bump-outs as much as possible yet. 293 00:31:01,890 --> 00:31:06,870 So these are just some examples of, and I think these does not apply to you. 294 00:31:07,090 --> 00:31:10,830 These are just some samples for the null and overlay where they have curves already. 295 00:31:10,830 --> 00:31:19,110 If there are cracks, we might replace a false section or just the socket and seal it, or 296 00:31:19,670 --> 00:31:24,830 these does not apply to you, but in some areas we have curved that is sunk, so we'll take 297 00:31:24,830 --> 00:31:29,410 it out and try to realign it so that some water goes through. 298 00:31:31,030 --> 00:31:39,650 These more of areas that will be kind of in your area, so if you have stuff like this, if 299 00:31:39,650 --> 00:31:47,230 have a stamped concrete, we will try to avoid touching it as much as possible because it's 300 00:31:47,230 --> 00:31:53,310 really hard to match it up and get it to look the same. We have that issue in the past. 301 00:31:53,590 --> 00:31:58,910 So for example, the one in the bottom here, we actually brought the curb and line it right 302 00:31:58,910 --> 00:32:04,430 with the bottom of the curb. And then this we removed this section here, this walkout and 303 00:32:04,430 --> 00:32:06,250 had to match there. 304 00:32:06,410 --> 00:32:09,330 This one here, we had to suck at the wall 305 00:32:09,330 --> 00:32:12,590 and remove this section and the curb went over there. 306 00:32:13,710 --> 00:32:16,410 So it all depends on what you have out there, 307 00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:19,530 but we will be careful of what we're doing. 308 00:32:19,730 --> 00:32:24,230 We try to not cause any more damage than what we have to. 309 00:32:24,810 --> 00:32:26,490 And normally in every construct area. 310 00:32:26,950 --> 00:32:29,110 And again, we will try to match what's out there. 311 00:32:29,530 --> 00:32:33,870 So for example, in this area here, on the picture on the right, 312 00:32:33,870 --> 00:32:40,930 where we have the concrete, when we go, we'll saw cut and then we might end up taking the full panel 313 00:32:40,930 --> 00:32:48,970 if we see need for it to match the new elevations and the new grade for the curb and how is 314 00:32:48,970 --> 00:32:50,330 that going to match with the street. 315 00:32:51,030 --> 00:33:00,830 If it is on the left side where it is just gravel and kind of bituminous, we will put what's out there. 316 00:33:00,830 --> 00:33:05,730 don't expect us to come and put concrete if you don't have concrete, don't expect us to put 317 00:33:05,730 --> 00:33:10,230 between us if you just have gravel or something like that. We match what's out there. 318 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:18,980 On the same thing here, you can see these are gravel so we'll just put the new curve in and match 319 00:33:18,980 --> 00:33:26,000 the grade we go back as far as as much as we needed without getting into the private property. 320 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,520 I mean we have a right of way about 10, 15 feet. We'll try to go there if we go beyond that. 321 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:36,700 But we'll let you know, give you a call, hey, we need to go a little bit farther, so we can 322 00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:40,960 match the grade and you don't have any issues with your driveway getting in and out. 323 00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:48,940 This is the schedule for the project, basically started with the authorization of the feasibility 324 00:33:48,940 --> 00:33:50,760 study in August of 24. 325 00:33:51,540 --> 00:33:57,180 We have the neighborhood meeting today, yesterday and today, and then the feasibility study 326 00:33:57,180 --> 00:34:04,860 will present it to the Council in January, and then the public hearing will be the second meeting in January. 327 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:16,500 Approved plans, being February, kind of hesitant to say in January, because we still are waiting on the 328 00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:20,740 meeting with the health department to see if we can include these streets and or not. 329 00:34:20,940 --> 00:34:25,720 So we might be pushing it one month, but we'll see how that goes. 330 00:34:26,580 --> 00:34:35,040 But our goal is to have the project bid opening in March and awarded in April because 331 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,500 the sooner we get it out, the better prices we get from the contractor before they're all 332 00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:48,400 and prices go up. Construction will be made through October 2025. Assessment hearing will be in October 333 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:55,200 25. With this, this is the end of my presentation.

Now, I think the road is not centered on the existing right away, so it might 485 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:17,400 affect the north properties, different than the south properties, but in general there will 486 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,880 be more boulevard to the properties. 487 00:46:24,810 --> 00:46:29,430 If it is, the city have the right away, which is a 60 feet 488 00:46:29,430 --> 00:46:36,930 right away.
