61-319 Selectmen's Meeting - February 22, 1999 Pavement Management Program Gordon Daring of Vanasse, Hangen Brustlin, Inc. reviewed the results of the Pavement Management Program. The streets are measured as to their pavement condition index (PCI) and placed into one of five treatment bands ranging from do nothing to complete reconstruction. The PCI shows that of the 127 miles of town accepted road miles 20.4 miles are in the do nothing category, 25.1 miles in routine maintenance, 29.5 miles in preventative maintenance, 15.6 miles in need of structural improvement and 36.5 miles in need of reconstruction. The current backlog of outstanding needed repairs of accepted roads amounts to $23 million. Mr. Daring then reviewed the recommended funding to repair and maintain the streets in the future. The software for the program can easily be used by the Engineering Department to review and keep track of the condition of the streets on an ongoing basis as repaving and reconstruction occurs. The pavement management program was paid for using Chapter 90 funds of $53,000. Recreation Department Fees - Little League Mr. Busa and Mr. Enrich spoke of the confusion with respect to the increase in the Little League st fees at the February 1 meeting. The intent was to keep the current $5.00/child/season for calendar 1999 and that the Recreation Committee come back to the Board with a proposal for an incremental fee increase to $8.00/child/season. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to keep the Little League per child per season fee of $5.00 through calendar 1999. Minutes Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the minutes of the meetings of January 11, 25 and 27, 1999. Executive Session Minutes Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the Executive Session minutes of the meetings of February 1 and 8, 1999.
