The following chart sets out four options that demonstrate possible project lists along the continuum of most project certainty to most effective use of dollars spent. The chart assumes an $81 million bond measure, which consists of $6.5 million of projects each year, with inflation. The chart totals are equal to $65 million, which is $6.5 million of project spending each year in today's dollars. For council, we could just show the percentage of bond measure spent for each category. The reconstruct and overlays in the first two lines of the chart would have a list of specific projects that could be committed to. The reconstruct category would be for arterials and collectors only; no local projects would be included. The overlays would be projects that we are fairly certain are needed over the next three to five years, although we would not commit to a specific time period for those overlays. The unallocated category would be about $2 million per year that would be directed towards the most effec- tive use of bond dollars, and would be mainly invested in overlay projects. The staff group agreed that each of these options should be ones that we could live with and support if the council decided to put out a bond measure with these project mixes. The new pavement report is currently being printed, and an updated list of maintenance requirements is included. PWM can provide a list of all streets currently in the backlog and the treatment and cost of the repair. The group did not attempt to pick particular streets to include in each of these options, but that would be the next step in preparation for the council meeting. These options are for discussion at our Wednesday larger group meeting. Once the group decides whether these are the right conceptual options to bring to council, specific project lists can be developed.
