General Fund ............................... $ 69,700 Revenue Sharing ............................ $ 7,100 Gasoline Tax ............................... $135,495 ESTIMATED TOTAL $212,295 A recap of each of these nine projects are outlined on the attached sheet. It is requested that this estimated amount of $212,295.00 be transferred to an addi- tional preventive Street Maintenance Program for 1979-80. A portion of these funds in the amount of $6i,695, has already been authorized per Council action on Jan. 21, 1980, when the Yorba Street widening project was cancelled. If it is feasible to put these funds into a supplemental street maintenance program, a project should be prepared for bid advertisement as soon as possible because of the probable use of the Heater Remix Operation to rejuvenate the pavement. The Air Pollution Control District (AoP.C.D.) restricts the use of this operation on days when smog alerts are in effect. There is almost unlimited operation allowed from now until April. DEPARTMENTAL OPERATING BUDGET Three accounts within the Maintenance Department: #2913 - Sidewalk Construction, #2915 - Street and Alley Repair, and #3145 - Sports Lighting are projected to have an over-run if all required work or useage is pursued during the 1979-80 Budget year. Sidewalk Construction - This account has a present balance of approximately $19,300. as of December 31, 1979. Staff is preparing a project contract that is estimated to be about $45,000, resulting in a proposed deficit of $25,700. This work consists of ren~ving and replacing damaged sidewalks, curbs and gutters which present a hazard- ous or potential hazardous situations. Past policy has been for the City to be re- sponsible for the cost of these repairs if they are caused by trees within the public right-of-way. I With the restrictions imposed by the passage of Proposition No. 13 and No. 4, the City may want to consider another method of financing the repair of the sidewalks and curbs. Section 5611 to 5614 of the Streets and Highway Code provides a vehicle DAN BLANKENSHIP January 23, 1980 Page 2 wherein the adjacent property owner is put on notice to repair such damaged improve- ments within a specified amount of time. In the event the repair is not completed within that time, the City may proceed with the repair work and bill the property owner via the property tax rolls. Street a~d__Alley Repair - This account has a present balance of $22,150.00 as of December 31, 1979, with an outstanding bill due for payment in January of approxi- mately S8,300.00, resulting in a net balance of about $13,900. This account is for repair of chuck holes and isolated areas of deteriated street pavement. It is es- timated that an additional $20,000 will be required to conti, nue this routine stop gap type Street Maintenance through the 1979-80 Budget year. These types of street repair consist mainly of work on the arterial streets and at most intersections where the continual nuisance water flows erode the street paving. Sports Lighting - This account shows almost a zero balance as of December 31, 1979 and consists of the lighting facilities at Columbus Tustin Parksite. It is antici- pated that an additional $8,000. will be required for energy cost for these facili- ties for the remainder of the 1979-80 Budget year. There may be a need to re-evaluate the rental fees charged for these facilities and make whatever increases that are needed to cover these energy costs. A point of clarification is requested on where the rental fees are credited. Does the entire fee ~et credited to Parks and Recreational revenue? If so, is the energy cost for these facilities charged against this revenue? Perhaps a more realistic cost pic- ture would include the transfer of the Sports Lighting Account to the Parks and Recreation Department. It is requested that additional budget appropriations be made to the following ac- coun=~ in the amounts shown so that the necessary construction and programs can be continued throughout the 1979-80 Budget year: ACCOUNT NUMBER 291§ 3145 DESCRIPTION Sidewalk Construction Street and Alley Repair Sports Lighting REQUESTED ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION $25,700.00 20,000.00 8,000 O@ ~3,~o.~ ~ BOB LEDENDECKER Director of Public Works/ City Engineer BL:rvm Attachment ,,,., z t.,,.J 0 o u Z z~- ,.~,~ ,-~-- u o o o o o cc, ,.--o o o o o o o o o E c) ~.v o .to ~o >.~ o..~ (.3 (33 ~ x {30 o o o o o o o o o o o u.J u z ._1 z h I..,J Z
