Presentation on Road Program

 Public Works & Development Director Kroeger presented an update on the City's road conditions,
 noting that roads are rated bi-annually from 0 to 10, with about 65 miles currently rated between 1
 and 4, and that budget limitations hinder adequate maintenance. The current road program includes
 $750,000 in annual operating funds and a $1 million supplement every three years, but state levy
 caps restrict budget increases, prompting discussion of borrowing options, such as a $4 million loan
 that could raise homeowner taxes by $45–60 annually for 20 years. The Mayor suggested inviting
 the City's financial advisor to outline borrowing impacts, while the Council requested a list of the
 seven worst roads, cost estimates for $2–4 million in repairs, and an assessment of the trail system.
