1
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,959
All right.

2
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:04,080
Okay.
I'm going to call this public uh hearing

3
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:11,720
to
order. At this time, I will ask uh Shay

4
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,720
if you want to come up.

5
00:10:12,959 --> 00:10:18,279
Yes, sir. So, this is the

6
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:25,920
Yes, thank you so much.
This is the Matt funds hearing. So, this

7
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:31,680
is just showing uh and I think I gave
each of you a listing of the funds we

8
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:38,959
have for this budget year and the uh
this is the uh listed amount needed to

9
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:43,200
pave these streets listed below it. And
so we put this list together by uh just

10
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:48,399
phone calls that we received from our
office and public works office and then

11
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:55,360
also uh city council recommendations and
just um from what you all hear from your

12
00:10:51,279 --> 00:11:00,000
constituents. So um and then we uh we we
had a big list and we brought it down to

13
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:05,279
this list so we can get all these uh
streets hopefully paved this year.

14
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:10,480
And just to I guess I could read off
those streets here.

15
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:13,519
Second Street, Oxford Drive, West
Clinton Street, about half of West

16
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:19,040
Clinton Street. We're gonna try to do
the rest of it hopefully next year. And

17
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:25,279
then uh Dell Hollow from Ruff River to
Taylor'sville. And then Ruff River from

18
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:30,959
Baron River to Payne's uh Avenue, Hayawa
from US 25 to Arapjo, Highland Court. We

19
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:35,120
have that listed because we're hoping to
uh put a speed bump on that street

20
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:39,600
because we've gotten a lot of complaints
with the traffic. So that's what we're

21
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:46,640
looking to with that one.
Uh Lidle Way, the entire street, East

22
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:52,560
Jackson Street, Fernhill Drive, Old
Mill, Creek View Court, Brian Avenue,

23
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,880
Canewood Boulevard, about half of the
Masters, the second half,

24
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:01,040
Payne's Landing Boulevard entrance
because we're going to put new striping

25
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:06,160
at the entrance there.
East Main extended from the new Waw Wa

26
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:10,720
entrance to the railroad. And then Aztec
from Simol to Chakatah, Bourbon Street

27
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:15,279
about half the street. We paved the
first half of Bourbon Street about two

28
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:22,360
years ago and then the uh city hall
parking lot in that street part of uh

29
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,360
city hall or North Court Street there.

30
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:29,680
Anyone have any questions with the road
list? You did say on Highland there may

31
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:34,000
be bumps, speed bumps put on there or
Oh, uh we're considering it. We're

32
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:39,200
working with the engineering team that's
putting together the uh that traffic

33
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:43,279
plan, but that's I I hope they do
because it's Yeah, people really speed a

34
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,320
lot on that. Absolutely. Okay. Yeah,
I'll let them know. Thank you. Thank

35
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:52,000
you.
And we talked about speed tables or some

36
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:56,399
sort of
Yes, a table or Yeah, that's what we're

37
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,680
looking at. Yeah, correct. And this of
course, you know, we talking about speed

38
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:03,360
tables and anything to alternate other
than signs and so on, you will have to

39
00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:07,440
bring to council because that's a that's
a tier two. Yes. And tier two and above

40
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:12,320
we have to, you know, correct. Yeah,
we'll bring anything to council before

41
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:17,200
we do any traffic calming devices. But
um yeah, we may use the paving funds to

42
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:20,920
also pave a portion of that street with
the So

43
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:30,480
this is for 2425.
Oh. Um,

44
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:34,240
so sorry. Let me see here. No, you're
good. Do you mind if I jump in quick?

45
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:38,800
Oh, yeah. Um, so we when we get an
annual allocation of MAP funds, it goes

46
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,800
into uh a specific account. We still
have some funds available from previous

47
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:46,320
years balances adding up just when
contractors can't get the projects

48
00:13:44,079 --> 00:13:49,760
completed, things like that. Um, with
this year's budget, as you know, there's

49
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:54,240
funding included, assuming it's
approved, to do that, uh, city street

50
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:59,600
assessment that will essentially, uh, I
think the last one was 2010. It's very

51
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:02,639
old. Um, so do that assessment. We'll
then have a spreadsheet, and I think

52
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:05,199
Councilman Minky asked a question about
this, so sorry to steal your thunder,

53
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:09,519
mayor. I'm going to go ahead and kind of
answer it a little bit. Um, that

54
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:13,120
spreadsheet, it it'll spit out all kinds
of information. And some of it means

55
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,959
something to me, some of it is is
French, but basically it will rate the

56
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,120
streets in terms of condition and
priority, but it will also create a

57
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:25,279
mechanism for us to track when streets
are resurfaced. So we right now the

58
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:29,199
engineering office has data u back to
2007 about when streets were resurfaced.

59
00:14:27,839 --> 00:14:33,519
They're putting that into a spreadsheet
right now so that it can easily be added

60
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:38,639
when that new assessment's completed. So
to the question of do we have that list

61
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:42,639
right now? Yes, but it's really outdated
and it needs and it needs spruced. So,

62
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:47,600
this year's budget would allow us to do
that. And then um the city engineer and

63
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:51,839
Chay um Eddie and Chay are working on a
system that that spreadsheet needs to

64
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,959
have everything that meets our needs.
And right now, it just has what the

65
00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:58,399
contractor will do. So, what we need to
add is that component of tracking when

66
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,639
each street is resurfaced. So, we know,
okay, Hayawa Trail was repaved in such

67
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:06,000
and such year. strange that it's in poor
condition now or you know kind of

68
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:09,600
considering whether wear and tear is
greater on some streets. So they're

69
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,480
working on that process to improve that
moving forward and I think this uh

70
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:17,360
assessment will be the kind of
springboard for that. Um so to answer

71
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:20,959
the question about the 2024 2025
pre-existing funds tonight at the

72
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:27,279
council meeting you all will be asked to
accept the next round of funding um just

73
00:15:23,519 --> 00:15:31,120
under $900,000. Um, so each year that
that funding essentially just kind of

74
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:34,079
builds and if you can spend it all down,
our goal this year is to use that

75
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:38,000
assessment to be able to spend a lot of
that money down because it it's there

76
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:42,000
and ready to be spent.
And one one more comment on that traffic

77
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,480
combing. Um, we do need to still adopt
that. So that is something that will

78
00:15:43,199 --> 00:15:47,760
have to come back to the council is
adopting that plan that banks put

79
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,920
together. Um, and then once that's
adopted, those are the action items that

80
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,800
that you you all would either hear about
or they go through traffic committee

81
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:59,440
depending on what tier they fall in. So
that will come back to you all um

82
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:02,839
hopefully in the near future.
Yes. Go ahead.

83
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:11,839
So if there are new projects that come
up, we can just hold in the future. This

84
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:17,440
doesn't lock it in for this year. So
just know we'll have that opportunity in

85
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:22,000
the future as we learn more.
All right. And that second page on here

86
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:26,480
is just a detailed listing of the the
cost breakdown per street. We worked

87
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:30,720
closely with the contractor to get that
detailed estimate.

88
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:35,279
And something else with this assessment
that's going to be done. And like you

89
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:39,360
say, if you pave a street this year and
then five years later it's in terrible

90
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:43,920
shape, then it will probably tell us
that that road is used a lot too. So

91
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:49,440
yeah. Or something being torn up on that
with equipment. So uh that's a good news

92
00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:53,680
there. So, uh, are there any other
questions from the council? Just a

93
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:59,360
comment, mayor. I like the I like the
presentation along with nice clear maps.

94
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:04,959
So, that's nice. Absolutely. Thank you.
Okay. All right. Is there any uh

95
00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:08,199
comments or questions from the in the
public here?

96
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:19,520
All right. Yes. One more from here. Jay,
are there any proposed

97
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:26,240
construction
activity on any of these roads that

98
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:32,160
would require a potential road cut? No.
Uh, not right now. And I always contact

99
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:36,640
Columbia Gas, GMWS beforehand
um before we pave these streets just to

100
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:41,280
make sure that they if there is anything
near in the future, they will uh let me

101
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:45,200
know about it so we're not repaving over
top. And and currently with our

102
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:49,280
ordinance with Columbia Gas, they're
doing really well. If if they cut the

103
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:53,840
street, they have to go back full width
and pave that portion. Um you've seen it

104
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,679
in Jefferson
uh on that side of town at Water Street,

105
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:02,160
that area. They just repaved all that
with CNR and those are actual where they

106
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,559
used to do with the strip up the road
like how West Clinton is has the big

107
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:11,120
strip with the ordinance. Now they have
to go full width. So that prevents it

108
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:15,160
from us having to go back in a couple
years and redo the whole street.

109
00:18:15,919 --> 00:18:24,240
East Jackson Street. Yes, sir. The speed
table that's there. You'll leave that

110
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:27,679
in. So we looked into that and actually
Yes. The existing one down at the

111
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:36,640
college. We're going to leave that one
in. Yes, sir. Yes. Yeah.

112
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:39,919
Oh, certainly. Yes. Yes. Correct.
All right.

113
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:48,120
So there's no other questions from the
council and or from the public.

114
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:48,120
If not, I will close this hearing
