City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 15, 2019 <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />Schwendler stated the suggested next steps include intensive architectural surveys, <br />landmarking outreach, and education <br />Mayor Muckle asked how the mine dump could be landmarked <br />Schwendler stated documentation is critical Landmarking it in open space could draw <br />attention to that part of Louisville's history Landmarking it would mean that if there were <br />any proposed land use changes the landmark would have to be taken into consideration <br />about how it would be affected <br />Councilmember Loo stated it appears $177,000 has been spent on documenting the <br />history so far and more money spent on that would be worthwhile as stuff is disappearing <br />quickly One of the recommendations is to take photos of everything She supports that <br />as we don't have an aggressive landmarking program to save items. <br />Mayor Muckle agreed that would be a good use of funds. <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION — 2018 IMS PAVEMENT SURVEY RESULTS <br />Director Kowar stated this pavement process is a continuation of previous work and this is <br />an update on where we are currently Our pavement results were at 67 in 2018, we were <br />a 64 in 2016 The current target is 75 with nothing under 35 He noted that some of the <br />under 35 streets are still constrained by needed water and sewer upgrades. <br />He noted of the funds we use for paving 40% is used for concrete work and 60% for the <br />actual paving He reviewed previous funding for pavement and how it is anticipated to <br />affect scores. He stated the best plan is to keep a fixed cost on pavement every year and <br />keep the streets rotating through the fair to excellent rankings. He reviewed budget <br />alternatives to keep all streets above 35 noting the current model shows us reaching the <br />75 average in 2028 <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton asked if staff would be able to do anything in 2019 above what we <br />already have planned Director Kowar stated staff needs to get bids out in the next 30 <br />days so it would be difficult to add to the current scope at this point unless it was a really <br />easy addition Mayor Pro Tem Lipton asked if we could lock in prices for 2020 earlier <br />Director Kowar stated that could happen if staff prepared the bids early this year Mayor <br />Pro Tem Lipton suggested if there are better strategies for bidding multiple years that <br />would save money we should consider them <br />Councilmember Stolzmann asked if the language should be clarified so it is clear what the <br />policy is for the streets on the lower end of the index. The current policy goal is to have no <br />street under 35 and that is not clear If we aren't meeting that goal, staff needs to tell <br />Council how much money is needed to do so Our goal was to get to a steady state by <br />2021 <br />
