City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: Ryan Stempski – Public Works Director
Date: April 26, 2023
Item: Authorize Budget Amendment, Street Maintenance Material Account
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Council is requested to approve a budget amendment to the Street Maintenance Material account in the
amount of $35,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
With record snow fall this past winter, and the freeze/thaw cycle this season, Public Works crews are
seeing an abundance of potholes and pavement maintenance issues. While every spring we have to
contend with potholes, this year we have observed increased distresses on our streets. This budget
covers, hot mix, cold patch, spray patch, and our in-house skim patch to correct potholes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Additionally, the cost of bituminous required to perform pothole patching and corrective street work
has increased dramatically due to market conditions. Due to these increases, we simply cannot
purchase the same amount of material without increasing our budget. The additional $35,000 will
allow Public Works to complete the in-house paving project and address the increased demand for
pothole patching in 2023.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending the Council authorize a budget amendment of $35,000 to the Street
Maintenance Material Account.
