The committee met on February 4, 2020 to review the residential street list. Public Works Director Caroline Waggoner provided the committee staff's recommendation for residential streets eligible to be rehabilitated with asphalt versus reconstruction that replaces current asphalt streets with concrete and installation of sidewalks. Ms. Waggoner explained to the committee if a street is rehabilitated, the existing asphalt is removed, the sub-grade is stabilized, and new asphalt pavement is put down. City Council and staff discussed the bond amount and if the dollar amount should be lowered to factor for contingencies. City Council also discussed what information is necessary in the order to call the bond election. Ms. Hartman informed City Council the maximum dollar amount is required in the election order. The listing of the streets is not required in the election order, but staff would like the final ranked street listing to educate the public. Ms. Hartman informed City Council an education piece, voter information document, is required as part of new legislation. Mayor Trevino asked staff to include information about the city's street maintenance program and partnership with Tarrant County for road maintenance.

Ms. Hartman informed City Council that staff would start at the top of the ranked street list February 10, 2020 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 14 and work through the list.

The number of residential streets was originally calculated at two per year, but that will change if the streets are rehabilitated with asphalt as opposed to concrete and installation of sidewalks. Ms. Hartman reviewed statutory requirements for the ballot language and election order. Ms. Hartman informed City Council the early voting polling locations and election day polling locations will be the same as those for the city general election. Director of Public Works Caroline Waggoner informed City Council that staff seeks their direction regarding residential streets for the 2020 Bond Election. Ms. Waggoner explained the reconstruction process is to remove the old asphalt, replace with concrete, and install sidewalks. If a residential street is rehabilitated, the old asphalt is removed and replaced with new asphalt. The committee considered the funding could stretch farther by rehabilitating residential streets with asphalt. Also, the construction timeline to rehabilitate asphalt streets is less time than reconstructing as a concrete street. Ms. Waggoner reviewed the revised ranking of residential streets by the committee. She explained the updated evaluation factors for residential streets that includes cost per car. The updated project ranking includes "local collector" streets Harmonson, Windhaven, and Stoneybrooke that were previously considered as candidates in the major street category.
