Mayor Pro -Tem Drake opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak in support or opposition of this item, to please come forward. With no one speaking, Mayor Pro- Tern Drake closed the public hearing. City Attorney Stephanie Harris said the second public hearing would be conducted on July 24. 9. Receive presentation about the Street Bond Program. City Manager John Godwin outlined the Street Bond Improvements Project and explained it would be a two to three year program. Mr. Godwin reviewed the proposed streets for 2017, 2018 and 2019, as well as the estimated costs of each project. He explained that most of the streets would be rebuilt using mill and overlay, which was suitable for roads with adequate bases. He further explained that other roads would require full -depth reconstruction, which was a more expensive construction process that included significant engineering costs. Mr. Godwin said the preference on 33rd SE and Collegiate between Clarksville and Lamar was to do full - depth, but it was not required. Mr. Godwin said year one included four mill and overlay projects that could be done quickly and without outside engineering. He also said it was believed that good utility structures were under them, so the process could begin this calendar year. He also said the City would do in -house utility work on Graham, so it would be ready for repaving in 2018. Mr. Godwin informed City Council that an engineer would need to be hired to begin design on a full reconstruction of Church Street, with work being scheduled in 2018. Mr. Godwin said it wasn't necessary to approve the entire list tonight, but once approved they could proceed with the improvements. Following additional discussions, it was a consensus of City Council for city staff to proceed with the six projects outlined in the 2017 Street Projects outlined by Mr. Godwin, which included E. Cherry, 25 NE to 20 NE; 3rd SE, Sherman to Provine (with sidewalks); 7th NW, Graham to Center; 7th SW, Washington to Bonham; Replace water line, Graham, 3rd to 7th; and engineering design, Church Street.
