Summary
DATE: October 04, 2022
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Jeffery Reynolds, Executive Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Authorize the Allocation of FY23 Street Maintenance Funds
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The Transportation Division maintains 566 centerline miles of paved roadways within the City of Killeen, with a total replacement value of $840.4 million dollars.
On March 23, 2021, Ordinance No. 21-013 was approved, increasing the street maintenance fund by $4,250,000 to address emergency street repairs due to the winter storm. Transportation was able to have services performed on 11.61 centerline miles throughout the city.
On September 14, 2021, Ordinance No. 21-055, was approved, amending the street maintenance fee to be set in an amount which provided funds to assist the transportation division in properly maintaining the transportation system. This increase to the street maintenance fee will allow approximately $4,300,000 for annual pavement maintenance, $4,000,000 for cash funded annual street reconstruction, and $1,600,000 annually to repay a $24,000,000 bond issue for street reconstruction. In FY22, just over 19 centerline miles of surface treatments and striping services were completed throughout the city.
City crews make spot repairs and perform crack seal services throughout the year; however, there are larger areas of City roadways that need more extensive work than can be performed by City staff. Therefore, contracts for asphalt milling & overlay, slurry seal services and pavement marking services are utilized. Public Works staff continues to prioritize roadway projects, focusing on throughfares with high traffic and volumes. The following tells of each type of maintenance that will be performed on approximately 29 centerline miles of city roads during FY23 and the allocated cost for each.
