[9:54] All right.
[9:58] Okay.
I'm going to call this public uh hearing
[10:02] to
order. At this time, I will ask uh Shay
[10:08] if you want to come up.
[10:12] Yes, sir. So, this is the
[10:19] Yes, thank you so much.
This is the Matt funds hearing. So, this
[10:23] is just showing uh and I think I gave
each of you a listing of the funds we
[10:28] have for this budget year and the uh
this is the uh listed amount needed to
[10:35] pave these streets listed below it. And
so we put this list together by uh just
[10:41] phone calls that we received from our
office and public works office and then
[10:45] also uh city council recommendations and
just um from what you all hear from your
[10:51] constituents. So um and then we uh we we
had a big list and we brought it down to
[10:57] this list so we can get all these uh
streets hopefully paved this year.
[11:03] And just to I guess I could read off
those streets here.
[11:07] Second Street, Oxford Drive, West
Clinton Street, about half of West
[11:12] Clinton Street. We're gonna try to do
the rest of it hopefully next year. And
[11:16] then uh Dell Hollow from Ruff River to
Taylor'sville. And then Ruff River from
[11:21] Baron River to Payne's uh Avenue, Hayawa
from US 25 to Arapjo, Highland Court. We
[11:29] have that listed because we're hoping to
uh put a speed bump on that street
[11:33] because we've gotten a lot of complaints
with the traffic. So that's what we're
[11:37] looking to with that one.
Uh Lidle Way, the entire street, East
[11:42] Jackson Street, Fernhill Drive, Old
Mill, Creek View Court, Brian Avenue,
[11:50] Canewood Boulevard, about half of the
Masters, the second half,
[11:55] Payne's Landing Boulevard entrance
because we're going to put new striping
[11:58] at the entrance there.
East Main extended from the new Waw Wa
[12:03] entrance to the railroad. And then Aztec
from Simol to Chakatah, Bourbon Street
[12:09] about half the street. We paved the
first half of Bourbon Street about two
[12:12] years ago and then the uh city hall
parking lot in that street part of uh
[12:17] city hall or North Court Street there.
[12:22] Anyone have any questions with the road
list? You did say on Highland there may
[12:27] be bumps, speed bumps put on there or
Oh, uh we're considering it. We're
[12:32] working with the engineering team that's
putting together the uh that traffic
[12:36] plan, but that's I I hope they do
because it's Yeah, people really speed a
[12:41] lot on that. Absolutely. Okay. Yeah,
I'll let them know. Thank you. Thank
[12:44] you.
And we talked about speed tables or some
[12:49] sort of
Yes, a table or Yeah, that's what we're
[12:54] looking at. Yeah, correct. And this of
course, you know, we talking about speed
[12:57] tables and anything to alternate other
than signs and so on, you will have to
[13:01] bring to council because that's a that's
a tier two. Yes. And tier two and above
[13:05] we have to, you know, correct. Yeah,
we'll bring anything to council before
[13:09] we do any traffic calming devices. But
um yeah, we may use the paving funds to
[13:14] also pave a portion of that street with
the So
[13:23] this is for 2425.
Oh. Um,
[13:28] so sorry. Let me see here. No, you're
good. Do you mind if I jump in quick?
[13:31] Oh, yeah. Um, so we when we get an
annual allocation of MAP funds, it goes
[13:36] into uh a specific account. We still
have some funds available from previous
[13:40] years balances adding up just when
contractors can't get the projects
[13:44] completed, things like that. Um, with
this year's budget, as you know, there's
[13:48] funding included, assuming it's
approved, to do that, uh, city street
[13:51] assessment that will essentially, uh, I
think the last one was 2010. It's very
[13:56] old. Um, so do that assessment. We'll
then have a spreadsheet, and I think
[14:01] Councilman Minky asked a question about
this, so sorry to steal your thunder,
[14:04] mayor. I'm going to go ahead and kind of
answer it a little bit. Um, that
[14:07] spreadsheet, it it'll spit out all kinds
of information. And some of it means
[14:11] something to me, some of it is is
French, but basically it will rate the
[14:15] streets in terms of condition and
priority, but it will also create a
[14:18] mechanism for us to track when streets
are resurfaced. So we right now the
[14:23] engineering office has data u back to
2007 about when streets were resurfaced.
[14:27] They're putting that into a spreadsheet
right now so that it can easily be added
[14:31] when that new assessment's completed. So
to the question of do we have that list
[14:36] right now? Yes, but it's really outdated
and it needs and it needs spruced. So,
[14:40] this year's budget would allow us to do
that. And then um the city engineer and
[14:45] Chay um Eddie and Chay are working on a
system that that spreadsheet needs to
[14:50] have everything that meets our needs.
And right now, it just has what the
[14:53] contractor will do. So, what we need to
add is that component of tracking when
[14:56] each street is resurfaced. So, we know,
okay, Hayawa Trail was repaved in such
[15:00] and such year. strange that it's in poor
condition now or you know kind of
[15:04] considering whether wear and tear is
greater on some streets. So they're
[15:07] working on that process to improve that
moving forward and I think this uh
[15:11] assessment will be the kind of
springboard for that. Um so to answer
[15:14] the question about the 2024 2025
pre-existing funds tonight at the
[15:19] council meeting you all will be asked to
accept the next round of funding um just
[15:23] under $900,000. Um, so each year that
that funding essentially just kind of
[15:28] builds and if you can spend it all down,
our goal this year is to use that
[15:32] assessment to be able to spend a lot of
that money down because it it's there
[15:35] and ready to be spent.
And one one more comment on that traffic
[15:39] combing. Um, we do need to still adopt
that. So that is something that will
[15:43] have to come back to the council is
adopting that plan that banks put
[15:46] together. Um, and then once that's
adopted, those are the action items that
[15:50] that you you all would either hear about
or they go through traffic committee
[15:53] depending on what tier they fall in. So
that will come back to you all um
[15:56] hopefully in the near future.
Yes. Go ahead.
[16:05] So if there are new projects that come
up, we can just hold in the future. This
[16:09] doesn't lock it in for this year. So
just know we'll have that opportunity in
[16:14] the future as we learn more.
All right. And that second page on here
[16:19] is just a detailed listing of the the
cost breakdown per street. We worked
[16:24] closely with the contractor to get that
detailed estimate.
[16:28] And something else with this assessment
that's going to be done. And like you
[16:32] say, if you pave a street this year and
then five years later it's in terrible
[16:37] shape, then it will probably tell us
that that road is used a lot too. So
[16:41] yeah. Or something being torn up on that
with equipment. So uh that's a good news
[16:46] there. So, uh, are there any other
questions from the council? Just a
[16:51] comment, mayor. I like the I like the
presentation along with nice clear maps.
[16:57] So, that's nice. Absolutely. Thank you.
Okay. All right. Is there any uh
[17:02] comments or questions from the in the
public here?
[17:10] All right. Yes. One more from here. Jay,
are there any proposed
[17:17] construction
activity on any of these roads that
[17:22] would require a potential road cut? No.
Uh, not right now. And I always contact
[17:28] Columbia Gas, GMWS beforehand
um before we pave these streets just to
[17:34] make sure that they if there is anything
near in the future, they will uh let me
[17:38] know about it so we're not repaving over
top. And and currently with our
[17:43] ordinance with Columbia Gas, they're
doing really well. If if they cut the
[17:47] street, they have to go back full width
and pave that portion. Um you've seen it
[17:52] in Jefferson
uh on that side of town at Water Street,
[17:55] that area. They just repaved all that
with CNR and those are actual where they
[18:00] used to do with the strip up the road
like how West Clinton is has the big
[18:04] strip with the ordinance. Now they have
to go full width. So that prevents it
[18:09] from us having to go back in a couple
years and redo the whole street.
[18:15] East Jackson Street. Yes, sir. The speed
table that's there. You'll leave that
[18:20] in. So we looked into that and actually
Yes. The existing one down at the
[18:26] college. We're going to leave that one
in. Yes, sir. Yes. Yeah.
[18:32] Oh, certainly. Yes. Yes. Correct.
All right.
[18:38] So there's no other questions from the
council and or from the public.
[18:43] If not, I will close this hearing
