MINUTES Page 9 <br />City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-March 3, 2008 <br />M/S/C Gregory and Prola. Ayes: 7; Noes: 0 <br />B. Presentation on City Pavement Condition. <br />Engineering and Transportation Director Uche Udemezue and City Engineer Ken <br />Joseph gave a PowerPoint presentation, providing information on the City's roadway <br />assets and how they are viewed, valued and managed. Mr. Udemezue described the <br />Pavement Condition Index, which is a standardized system for rating pavement <br />conditions, and which helps staff to effectively manage the City's roadway assets. Mr. <br />Joseph provided information on what causes pavement to fail, described the methods <br />slurry sea], overlay and full reconstruction-for rehabilitating pavement, the <br />comparative cost for each method, and a PCI comparison of neighboring cities. Mr. <br />Udemezue addressed the accelerating decline of the City's PCI, the inconsistency of <br />grant funding for paving projects, historic funding levels and projected funding for FY <br />2008-09. Mr. Udemezue commended the Public Works Department for its efforts in <br />maintaining street conditions. <br />Councilmember Prola expressed concern regarding the declining condition of the City's <br />streets, and he commented on the need for a revenue stream for street repair and <br />maintenance. <br />Mr. Udemezue addressed questions from Councilmember Starosciak regarding funding <br />for streets and roads. Councilmember Starosciak inquired about the use of yellow <br />plastic strips with raised bumps at pedestrian crossings. Mr. Joseph indicated that these <br />are truncated domes, and are a requirement under the Americans with Disabilities Act <br />(ADA) for visually impaired pedestrians. Councilmember Starosciak commented that it <br />is difficult to push a stroller or roll a walker over truncated domes. <br />Councilmember Stephens remarked that streets are a high priority for communities. He <br />inquired about a rubberized asphalt product that he has seen marketed. Mr. Udemezue <br />commented that while the product is environmentally sound and may have a longer <br />useful life than asphalt, it is very expensive, and is better for some climates than others. <br />Vice Mayor Grant expressed concern regarding the growing number of potholes <br />throughout the city. Streets Manager Ron May stated that the City has aseven-member <br />street crew, and Public Works has a hotline that residents can call to report potholes. <br />Mr. May noted that some streets of particular concern, such as Davis Street and <br />Doolittle Drive, are controlled by Caltrans and not the City. <br />Mr. Jermanis pointed out that the City only has aseven-man crew to maintain 180 miles <br />of streets. The condition of the City's streets and roads is an issue that needs to be <br />reviewed by the City Council ad hoc committee to find a way to address the resource <br />needs. <br />Councilmember Starosciak thanked staff for the presentation. She commented that last <br />week, the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) approved a resolution in support of <br />Assembly Constitutional Amendment 10, which would lower to 55% the voter <br />
