7. Budget Referral: Street Maintenance Funding to Prevent Further Deterioration of Pavement Condition to Save Tax Dollars and Our Streets (Reviewed by the Budget & Finance Committee)
From: Councilmember Kesarwani (Author), Councilmember Droste (Co- Sponsor), Councilmember Taplin (Co-Sponsor), Councilmember Wengraf (Co- Sponsor)
Recommendation: Refer to the FY 2022-23 budget process to establish a three- year plan (FY 2022-23 through FY 2024-25) to fully fund an adequate street paving budget that prevents further deterioration of the City’s pavement condition. At the end of the three-year period, the fiscal plan should allocate a minimum total of $8 million in additional ongoing annual General Fund—bringing the total street paving annual budget to at least $15.1 million—the minimum amount needed to maintain pavement condition, as identified by our Public Works Department.
We recommend that the City slightly exceed the $8 million General Fund need by contributing $3 million in ongoing funds in FY 2022-23, an additional $3 million of ongoing funds in FY 2023-24, and a final addition of $3 million in ongoing funds in FY 2024-25. This total of $9 million, in addition to the existing allocation of $7.3 million for annual street maintenance, will provide the City with about $1.2 million more than the minimum total of $15.1 million to account for inflation.
A three-year plan is suggested to give the City time to gradually enhance street paving resources, and annual inflation adjustments are recommended in out-years in order to ensure that maintenance funds remain adequate over time as construction costs rise. A dollar of maintenance early in a street’s life-cycle saves $8 later in the street’s life-cycle due to avoided rehabilitation and/or reconstruction costs associated with failing streets, making this budget request an urgent matter of fiscal oversight.
Policy Committee Recommendation: On April 19, 2022, the Budget & Finance Policy Committee sent the item to Council with a positive recommendation to: 1. Formally refer the item to FY 23-24 Biennial Budget Process; 2. State the Committee’s recommendation that the City Council prioritize available General Fund revenues to supplement the street paving budget to prevent further deterioration; 3. To recommend that Council consider this proposed approach to develop an expenditure plan for street paving; 4. Set a goal of allocating an additional $3-8 Million in ongoing General Fund revenues.
