The Mayor and Interim City Manager provided an update on projects and the budget for the City of San Angelo. Several park renovation projects funded by a 1/2 cent sales tax were completed on time and under budget. The budget aims to close a $751,000 gap through targeted cuts and fee increases while funding increased street maintenance. An update was also provided on the Hickory water supply project, which will provide a new source of water to meet future needs as usage is projected to increase. Cooperation across organizations will be key to ensuring a reliable water supply and addressing fiscal challenges.

19. Streets

20. City Streets
– Total lane miles of streets: 1150 miles
– Major Roadways: 283 lane miles
– Residential Streets: 867 lane miles

21. Street Useful
Life
– Different street types have different useful lives and
different routine maintenance needs
– When considering what type of street to construct it
is important to consider
1) Initial Capital Cost
2) Overall Useful Life and
3) Long Term Maintenance Needs

22. Street Life Cycle
– Asphalt vs. concrete
– 2/3 of the cost of a roadway is what is
below the surface; the asphalt surface
merely protects the investment below it
– The useful life potential of a street is
fully dependent on it being properly
maintained
– Impact of reduced maintenance

23. Street Types
Asphalt Streets
• Useful life of 25 years of properly maintained
– Proper maintenance to achieve 25 year useful life
• Sealcoat – every 8 years (maximum)
• Mill and Overlay – at 15 years if roadway shows
signs of major distress (* Residential streets are
low volume and typically only require sealcoating
every 8 years)
• Complete Reconstruction – Approximately every
25-30 years
• Major maintenance costs over 75 year period
(1 mile of 40’ wide street) - $8,000,000.00

24. Street Types
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) Streets
(Grape Creek Road and 50th Street)
• Useful life approximately 75-100 years
– Initial cost 5-15% greater
– Maintenance – no major routine maintenance
required
– Major maintenance costs over 75 year period
(1 mile of 40’ wide street)
• Asphalt - $8,000,000.00
• RCC - $1,500,000.00
(for mill and overlay only if required)

25. Street
Reconstruction
– The City currently has 55 streets listed for reconstruction in its
Capital Improvements Plan at a cost of approximately $155M
– Street Construction Methods
• Roller Compacted Concrete Reconstruction (RCC)
– Removal of 6 to 8 inches of material and replacement
with roller compacted concrete
– Cost per square yard: $175, Useful life: 75-100 years
• “Full Depth” Reconstruction (Asphalt)
– Complete removal and replacement of roadway from
surface to depth of approximately 22 inches
– Cost per square yard: $150, Useful life: 25 years

26. Capital Borrowing
Capacity
• Current capital budget $ 1,756,529
• LESS $250,000 annually for fire truck replacement
• Could use $1,506,529 capital budget for debt
service
– Assuming 20 years at 4% we could borrow
approximately $20,475,000 principal
– Budget impact?
