Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - March 4, 1991 Page - 6 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) G. Resolution Accepting the Work for Sealing City Streets, 1990-91, Project No. 90-8322-1. Roy Parker, Acting Director, Engineering and Transportation Department, noted that the City's Street Sealing Program was part of the overall MTC Pavement Management System. He noted three types of seal coats had been used in the 1990-91 program: Slurry Seal , Chip Seal and Cape Seal . He said this was the first time Chip and Cape Seal had been used in San Leandro. He recommended the City Council approve a similar program for 1991-92. He said each year City staff inspects portions of the City's streets, and crack sealing and patching is done by City staff. He said other work, such as sealing, is done by contract. He described each of the types of seal treatments and described the modifications which had been made to the plans and specifications to improve the program. The City Council noted they had received a number of complaints regarding the Chip Seal and the excess gravel that resulted. Council Member Glaze said he had also received complaints regarding how the streets looked today and that hairline cracks show through the recently sealed streets. Mr. Parker and Mr. Ray Meyers from the International Surfacing Association, both explained that the treatments described are seals, not resurfacing, and that, although cracks may show, they are now water tight. Council Member Perry suggested in the future public education be performed to explain to residents that cracks would show through the seals. Council Member Faria asked why the annual overlay project was not being accepted yet. Staff said there were problems with bad joints and that the contractor would have to grind and repair those joints. Council Member Perry asked if the Resolution Accepting the 1990-91 Slurry Seal City Streets included Huntington Park. She said there were still some bald spots in Huntington Park. Staff said it did include that area but the work had to be approved because of the level of specifications used in 1990-91 . The following Resolution was then introduced: RESOLUTION NO. 91-30 (2663) RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE WORK FOR SEALING CITY STREETS, 1990-1991 PROJECT. NO. 90-8322-1 Introduced by Council Member Faria who moved its adoption, seconded by Council Member Santos and carried by the following called vote: AYES: Council Members Corbett, Faria, Glaze, Perry, Polvorosa, Santos; Mayor Karp ( 7 ) NOES: None ( 0 ) ABSENT: None ( 0 )
