2 Focus Street Rehabilitation Projects Sanitary Sewer Program Transportation Projects 2

3 Street Projects PROGRAM GOALS Implement a systematic pavement rehabilitation and preventative maintenance program that can extend the life of streets and reduce future maintenance costs; and Maintain current Pavement Condition Index (PCI) through a comprehensive approach. 3

4 Street Project Funding Total funds for streets: FY 2012 FY 2013 General Fund $2,260,456 $2,266,615 Other Funds 1,640,858 1,643,837 $3,901,314 $3,910,452 Additional funding comes from many different sources to augment scarce local funds (General Fund) American Recovery/Reinvestment Act funds State Prop 1B Transportation Bonds ISTEA-STP State SB 300 Gas tax and sales tax 4

5 Street Projects Limited funding does not provide for frequent traditional large-scale treatments (overlays, reconstruction). We are exploring and implementing more cost effective techniques such as the following: 1. Improved coordination between Engineering and Operations 2. Improved inspection of utility cuts 3. Preserving existing pavements using chip and slurry seals 4. Use of new treatments to fill potholes 5. Improved contract monitoring and follow-up 6. Expansion of crack sealing program 5

6 Street Projects Completed in last two years: University Avenue from Overpass to Oxford Gilman Street Solano Avenue Martin Luther King Jr Way Planned for FY 2012 and 2013: Sacramento Street from University to Ashby Marin Avenue from The Alameda to The Circle Milvia Street from University to Blake 4 th Street from University to Gilman 6

7 Sanitary Sewer Program Projections for FY 2012 & FY 2013: FY 2012 FY 2013 Revenue $14,000,000 $14,000,000 Expenditures $17,500,000 $17,500,000 Annual Deficit ($ 3,500,000) ($3,500,000) Fund Balance $12,750,000 $ 9,250,000 7

8 Sanitary Sewer Program A comprehensive program is being implemented to balance and coordinate: Capital projects: replacing sewer lines to reduce or eliminate unhealthy overflows, and Operations & maintenance: cleaning and inspection program, flow monitoring, leak testing, grease source detection. 8

9 Sanitary Sewer Program Effective utilization of available resources is needed to: Ensure comprehensive and accurate data collection; Coordinate Engineering and Operations work; Implement cost effective capital improvements for improving water quality and flow reduction; and Respond to additional monitoring and reporting requirements of the EPA order. 9

10 Sanitary Sewer Program The comprehensive plan is paying off. One clear result: real improvement to Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs)
