Other Board of Public Service Communication; RE: Michigan’s Transportation Infrastructure Council Member Spadafore referenced a resolution from the Board of Public Service requesting the City Council to support significant State government investment in the transportation infrastructure. Council Staff was requested to draft a resolution for the next Committee meeting, September 17, 2019. Discussion- continued RESOLUTION – Local Agency Pavement Warranty Program, Adoption and Implementation Mr. Kilpatrick explained this is a resolution that is mandated by the State to adopt the Local Agency Pavement Warranty Program and then implement and report on the program. He added, that the program is based on dollars and will apply to actual pavement projects, however the history of City projects reflect projects that will not be large enough projects. However, the State mandates the municipalities adopt and implement. Regarding any large project that could occur, in the City the majority of those are MDOT streets and therefore the point person on the bidding, letting and construction will be the State of Michigan anyways. Council Member Spadafore requested Mr. Kilpatrick provide a “bullet- point” list to him prior to the Council meeting Monday night to provide an overview to Council before action. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO ADOPT THE MICHIGAN LOCAL AGENCY PAVEMENT WARRANTY PROGRAM. MOTION CARRIED 2- 0. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GARZA TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO IMPLEMENT AND REPORT ON THE LOCAL AGENCY PAVEMENT WARRANTY PROGRAM. MOTION CARRIED 2-0. Council Member Spadafore asked Mr. Kilpatrick to return to the September 17, 2019 Committee meeting to discuss traffic calming updates. Other Council Member Garza asked Mr. Kilpatrick for confirmation on ownership of the intersection of Edgewood and Cedar and was told it is MDOT. Council Member Spadafore stated he had an inquiry on what the process would be if a neighborhood all agreed to pay a special assessment to have their road fixed. Mr. Kilpatrick acknowledged he was not aware of an actual policy or program, however it could possibly follow the same track that is used for sidewalks. Council Member Garza asked for an update on Schafer Road and occasional water in a residents yards. Mr. Kilpatrick confirmed the evaluation was performed and letters would be sent. If it is determined that he property owners have to clean up the area, and it is not done, then the work will be performed and the property owners will be assessed the cost. Council  DRAFT Member Garza then presented a photo of a sidewalk that had heaved on Ellendale off Miller. Mr. Kilpatrick reviewed the photo and noted since it is marked with green paint, it could be on the repair list. Lastly, Mr. Kilpatrick was asked if there were traffic study results and plans for Ellendale and Devonshire and Mr. Kilpatrick stated the study was done, but the results fell within the acceptable percentile. He would obtain the traffic study and forward to the Council offices.
