D)Work Session:Street repairs -City Administrator/Clerk Kooistra noted a petition presented to the
Council at an earlier meeting regarding street conditions along Waukee Ave.and Bel Aire Dr.Most
of the issues noted by the presenting petitioner had been addressed by the City soon afterwards.
The petition presented to the Council did not contain a statement of intent,so City staff are unsure
as to what the signers are requesting of the City.City staff plan to meet with Waukee Ave.and Bel
Aire Dr.residents about possible street repair options.Director of Public Works Gibson noted three
options:1)milling and asphalt overlay;2)construction of a 26'asphalt street,curb and gutter;and 3)
construction of a 26'concrete street,curb and gutter.There is a possible fourth option that would
combine certain aspects of the other three options.There was some discussion regarding a lack of
storm sewer intakes along both streets.Mr.Kooistra asked for direction from the Council regarding
the options presented,as some may involve assessment.Council Member Harvey asked about the
lifespan of the asphalt overlay option;Mr.Gibson replied that it may last up to ten years.Council
Member Harvey noted that the resident who presented the petition stated that the streets had not
been a problem in years past,just this current year,and suggested discussing a "wait and see"
approach with the residents.Mr.Gibson added that next season,the City could switch to a slurry
coat process instead of the seal coat used this year.He then noted that the Capital Improvements
Plan included funds budgeted for such street improvements throughout the city over the course of
several years.
