Dorgan, City Manager John M. Loete, Public Works Dire for SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution for 2004 Motor Fuel Tax Municipal Estimate of Maintenance Costs PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider the passage of the annual Motor Fuel Tax Resolution for General Maintenance Funds for 2004. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Motor Fuel Tax Resolution for Maintenance of Streets and Highways in the amount of $3,223,000 to fund the roadway maintenance activities outlined on the attached Municipal Estimate of Maintenance Costs. BACKGROUND Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds are tax monies collected by the State of Illinois at the time of fuel purchase, including gasoline and diesel fuel. A portion of the funds collected by the State are distributed to municipalities and townships for road, signal, and street light maintenance based on the historical per capita allocation, adjusted for inflation. Based on this criterion, the MFT funds due to be provided to the City of Elgin in 2004 are $2,800,000. Combined with prior year unencumbered funds ($906,400) and miscellaneous revenue ($21,000), the total budget available for 2004 is $3,727,400. Of that amount, $400,000 has been committed to rehabilitate the asphalt surface on the Kimball Street Bridge via a separate construction resolution approved May 28, 2003, and $104,400 is being set aside as a fund reserve. The amount being considered for use on eligible maintenance activities in 2004 is $3,223,000. The action being taken at this time is the approval of a resolution designating the total budget amount for 2004 and of a Municipal Estimate of Maintenance Costs outlining the activities to be funded, with the proposed budget for each. Both documents are required by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and are attached. Only specific work related to the maintenance of streets, pavements, drainage pipes, street lights, and traffic signals are eligible under the MFT program. Work can be done by in-house crews with costs for labor, equipment, and materials being identified and reimbursed. Contracting for the design/bidding and performance/construction of the work is also allowed. Approval of Resolution for 2004 MFT Municipal Estimate of Maintenance Costs January 28, 2004 Page 2 The in-house activities and maintenance contracts being proposed are, with one exception, the ones historically done with MFT funds. Further details on the exceptional program and on the maintenance contracts on which there are significant changes are as follows: Traffic Signal Maintenance - This is a new program that is proposed to be done in place of the street light re-lamping program (done in 2001 and 2002) which did not result in the anticipated reduction of service calls for street light outages. The proposed traffic signal maintenance contract will provide scheduled servicing of the signal equipment, including annual re-lamping, and will address the key maintenance tasks required by IDOT on signalized intersections on State Routes that the City maintains by contract. It will not include after hours calls which will still be handled by City staff. When the street light re-lamping contract was initiated, a primary benefit was that it would reduce the workload on the in-house staff at a period in time when we were unable to attract qualified candidates to fill two vacancies that had existed for many months. The program has only been marginally successful in accomplishing that so alternatives were reviewed. Signal maintenance contracts are utilized by a large number of communities and in many cases are funded with MFT funds. The maintenance of traffic signals is a much higher liability exposure due to the critical role played by the signal system. The impending loss of at least two of the three staff members that maintain signals and street lights due to the early retirement incentive causes great concern about our ability to consistently address workloads. With this contract in place, the transition to new staff will be easier and the long term reduction in work load should be greater than was realized with the street light re-lamping contract. Unimproved Street Maintenance — 2004 will be the fifth and final year of a program to reshape and reseal (with a chip seal surface) unimproved streets that had not received maintenance for many years. Difficulties with dust and excess gravel chips on the 2003 program have been investigated and will be addressed with a new surface seal using pea gravel as part of the 2004 contract. In addition,the last of the unimproved streets will be completed in the locations below: 1)The area west of McLean Boulevard and north of Eagle Road 2) Glenwood Trail, Oakhill Road, Sadler Avenue, and Olive Street Based on the problems experienced with the chip seal process, it is staffs intent to propose a follow up program to overlay the unimproved streets as part of the 2005 budget process. Intermittent Street Resurfacing - An on-going program of base repairs and asphalt overlays that this year will address: 1) Duncan Avenue from Oakhill Road north to City Limits Approval of Resolution for 2004 MFT Municipal Estimate of Maintenance Costs t January 28, 2004 t Page 3 2) Dundee Avenue from Kimball Street to Center Street 3) Lyle Avenue from Royal Boulevard to Airlite Street 4) Valley Creek Drive (east leg) from Lyle Avenue to Royal Boulevard 5) Airlite Street from Valley Creek Drive to Lyle Avenue 6) McLean Boulevard from Abbott Drive to Timber Drive These streets were chosen by staff based on a condition survey and the timeliness of applying a maintenance overlay in order to avoid a more expensive reconstruction at a later date. These streets were submitted as part of the five year plan for each program in the 2004 budget. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None Oik FINANCIAL IMPACT The appropriation resolution in the amount of$3,223,000 equals the available funding minus the $400,000 already designated for the Kimball Bridge project and minus the $104,400 cash reserve for the fund. Funding for the various activities has been adjusted from those shown in the budget document as project costs have been refined. Specific 2004 Budget line item expenditure accounts will be adjusted to the proposed MFT resolution. " LEGAL IMPACT None ALTERNATIVES 1. Approve as recommended. 2. Do not approve the resolution and expenditure statement and choose to spend the MFT funds in another fashion. Respectfully submitted for Council consideration. (CAB] Attachment
