AGENDA ITEM: B Date: April 18, 2017

MEETING ITEM COMMENTARY AGENDA ITEM: (Second & Final) Amendments to Chapter 186: Streets and Sidewalks STAFF RESOURCE: Joseph Laverriere, P.E., City Engineer

Patrick Fox, Public Works Director COUNCIL RESOURCE: Councilor William Doyle BACKGROUND: Sections of Chapter 186 (Article I) of the City Code pertaining to excavation activities within City right-of-ways are being updated to provide a clear process for property owners and contractors needing to perform work in public places. These changes aim to clarify current practices, and modify other approaches to be more in line with excavation requirements in neighboring communities. Highlights of the changes include: creating separate permits for driveway paving versus excavation activities; establishing an annual approved contractor list based on proper insurance, ability, and deposits; overseeing final pavement restoration to improve ride quality and reduce future maintenance; tying work results to the contractor performing the work instead of the property owner requesting the work. The City Council discussed this item during workshop on February 13, 2017, held the first reading on March 6, 2017, and the Public Hearing was held on March 20, 2017. The City Council discussed this item again during workshop on April 10, 2017. EXHIBITS:

1. Amended Chapter 186 2. Fee Schedule Changes Exhibit items were previously provided on April 10, 2017 3. Street Opening Permit Process- Addressing March 20th Council

comments Exhibit items were previously provided on March 6, 2017 4. Chapter 186: STREETS AND SIDEWALKS 5. Fee Schedule Changes (to be addressed in forthcoming annual

fee update process) 6. Opening Permit Process Flow Chart

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the revision as well as fee changes in

the forthcoming round of annual fee schedule updates. FUNDING: Not Applicable SUGGESTED MOTION: “The Saco City Council hereby ordains and approves the second and final reading

of the document titled ‘Amendments to Chapter 186: STREETS AND SIDEWALKS’.”

C. Public Utility Companies: Where excavations are made by public utility companies operating under a franchise issued by the City or under the supervision of the Public Utility Commission or utilities operated by governmental agencies, a permit may be granted without assessment of the permanent pavement restoration fee. In such cases, the utility company shall be liable for the cost to repair the opening in accordance with City standards and maintenance of the repair for a three (3) year period.

§ 186-6 (Reserved)

§ 186-8 Protective measures and routing of traffic. A. The permittee shall, in general, maintain safe crossings for two lanes of vehicle traffic at all

street intersections where possible and safe crossings for pedestrians at intervals of not more than 200 feet. If any excavation is made across any public street, alley or sidewalk, adequate crossings shall be maintained for vehicles and for pedestrians. If the street is not wide enough to hold the excavated material without using part of the adjacent sidewalk, a passageway at least 1/2 of the sidewalk width shall be maintained along such sidewalk line.

B. It shall be the duty of every permittee cutting or making an excavation in or upon any public place to place and maintain barriers and warning devices necessary for the safety of the general public. Traffic control in the vicinity of all excavations affecting vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle traffic shall be subject to final review and approval of the Traffic Engineer or his/her designated representative.

C. Barriers, warning signs, lights, etc., shall conform to the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Warning lights shall be electrical markers or flashers used to indicate a hazard to traffic from sunset of each day to sunrise of the next day.

Reflectors or reflecting material may be used to supplement, but not replace, light sources.

D. The permittee shall take appropriate measures to assure that during the performance of the excavation work, traffic conditions as near normal as possible shall be maintained at all times so as to minimize inconvenience to the occupants of the adjoining property and to the general public.

E. When traffic conditions permit, the Public Works Director or his/her designated representative, with the approval of the Police and Fire Departments of the City, may, by written approval (or by verbal approval in case of emergency), permit the closing of streets and alleys to all traffic for a period of time prescribed by him/her, if in his/her opinion it is necessary. The written approval of the Public Works Directormay require that the permittee give notification to various public agencies and to the general public. In such cases, such

written approval shall not be valid until such notice is given. In case of emergency on weeknights, weekends or holidays, the utility company having such emergency shall contact the Police and Fire Departments by phone before closing a street to traffic, except in a case of immediate hazard of loss of life or serious property damage, in which event prompt notice of closing shall be given.

F. Warning signs shall be placed far enough in advance of the construction operation to alert traffic within a public street, and cones or other approved devices shall be placed to channel traffic in accordance with the instructions of the Public Works Director, after his/her review of the proposed traffic control measures for the project.

G. The permittee shall hereby be informed that the Public Works Directorwill require special police protection at locations where the permittee, by his/her work, interferes with school walk routes or crossing locations.

H. The permittee is also informed that construction activities (unless an emergency condition exists) shall not interfere with the normal flow of traffic on arterial streets of the City, except to the extent and under conditions approved by the Public Works Directorand Police and Fire Departments. The full roadway lane width shall be maintained between the hours of 6:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. and between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

I. The permittee may shift traffic to the opposite side of the roadway to maintain the above required lane width. The permittee may only make such shift with the approval of the Public Works Director, following proper review of detour plans to ensure adequate, safe two-way traffic flow and proper number and placement of police officers.

§ 186-9 Relocation and protection of existing utilities. The permittee shall not interfere with any existing facility without the written consent of the City and the owner of the facility. If it becomes necessary to relocate an existing facility, this shall be done by its owner. No facility owned by the City shall be moved to accommodate the permittee unless the cost of such work shall be borne by the permittee. The cost of moving privately owned facilities shall be similarly borne by the permittee, unless it makes other arrangements with the person owning the facility.

A. The permittee shall support and protect, by timbers or otherwise, all pipes, conduits, poles, wires or other apparatus which may be in any way affected by the excavation work and do everything necessary to support, sustain and protect them under, over, along or across the work. The permittee shall secure approval of method of support and protection from the owner of the facility.

B. In case any pipes, conduits, poles, wires or apparatus should be damaged, and for this purpose pipe coating or other encasement or devices are to be considered as part of a substructure, the permittee shall promptly notify the owner thereof. All damaged facilities shall be repaired by the agency or person owning them, and the expense of such repairs shall be charged to the permittee.

C. It is the intent of this section that the permittee shall assume all liability for damage to

facilities, and any resulting damage or injury to anyone because of such facility damage and such assumption of liability is a contractual obligation of the permittee. The only exception will be such instances where damage is exclusively due to the negligence of the owner of the facility. The City shall not be made a party to any action because of this section. The permittee shall inform itself as to the existence and location of all underground facilities and protect the same against damage.

§ 186-10 Abandonment of substructure. A. Whenever the use of a substructure is abandoned, except the abandonment of service lines

designed to serve single properties, the person or utility owning, using or controlling such substructure or having an interest therein shall, within 30 days after such abandonment, file with the City a statement, in writing, giving in detail the location of the substructure so abandoned. If such abandoned structure is in the way or subsequently becomes in the way of an installation of the City or any other public body, the owner of such substructure shall establish if the substructure is abandoned and make the first cut or tap before allowing the substructure to be removed by the excavator.

B. When gas or other flammable service to buildings is discontinued, the existing service line for such service shall be terminated at a point outside the building.

§ 186-11 Protection of public property. The permittee shall not remove, even temporarily, any trees or shrubs which exist in the street area without first obtaining the consent of the appropriate City department or City official having control of such property.

excavations.

B. All excavations shall be performed in accordance with the City of Saco Department of Public Works specifications or in a manner prescribed by the Public Works Director for circumstances not covered by the specifications.

C. All material excavated from trenches and piled adjacent to the trench or in any street shall be piled and maintained in such manner as not to endanger those working in the trench, pedestrians or users of the streets and so that as little inconvenience as possible is caused to those using streets and adjoining property.

D. Where the confines of the area being excavated are too narrow to permit the piling of excavated material beside the trench, the City shall have the authority to require that the permittee haul the excavated material to a storage site and then rehaul it to the trench site at the time of backfilling.

E. It shall be the permittee's responsibility to secure the necessary permission and make all necessary arrangements for all required storage and disposal sites.

F. All material excavated shall be laid compactly along the side of the trench and kept trimmed

so as to cause as little inconvenience as reasonably possible to vehicular and pedestrian traffic or as specified by the City. Whenever necessary in order to expedite the flow of traffic or to abate the dirt or dust nuisance, toe boards or bins may be required by the City to prevent the spreading of dirt into traffic lanes.

§ 186-13 Breaking through pavement in streets. A. All excavations on paved street surfaces shall be precut in a neat straight line with pavement

breakers or saws.

B. Heavy-duty pavement breakers may be prohibited by the City when the use endangers existing underground facilities or other property.

C. Cutouts of the trench lines must be normal or parallel to the trench line.

D. Pavement edges shall be trimmed to a vertical face and neatly aligned with the center line of the trench.

E. Unstable pavement shall be removed over caveouts and overbreaks, and subgrade shall be treated as the main trench.

F. The permittee shall not be required to pay for repair of pavement damage existing prior to the excavation, unless his/her cut results in small floating sections that may be unstable, in which case the permittee shall remove the unstable portion and the area shall be treated as part of the excavation.

G. When three or more street openings are made in sequence (15 factor less, center to center, between each adjacent opening), the permittee shall neatly cut and remove the area of pavement between these adjacent openings and shall patch as one trench.

§ 186-14 Breaking through pavement in sidewalks. A. All parts of § 186-13 shall apply to this section in all cases except gravel sidewalks.

B. On concrete sidewalks, all cuts shall be made from the nearest joint or score line on one side of the excavation to the nearest joint or score line on the other side of the excavation.

C. All bricks in the way of excavation shall be removed by the permittee prior to the work to be done and transported to a storage site to be selected by the City.

§ 186-15 Backfilling. Upon completion of the utility installation, the trench shall be backfilled to the grade of the underside of the surfacing material.

A. Trench backfilling; paved areas. In paved areas, the backfill material shall be that excavated material which the inspector deems suitable and which the excavator may have stockpiled or it shall be a granular material from off site. Granular material for trench backfill shall be approved by the inspector and shall meet the requirements of the American Association of Highway Officials (AASHO) Specification M145-49, Classification A-3 or better.

allowed in the backfill material.

(1) The backfill shall be placed and compacted in layers not exceeding nine inches in depth. The moisture content of the fill material shall be such that 95% of optimum density, as determined by field tests, may be obtained. The maximum density shall be determined in accordance with AASHO Specification T180, Method C or D. The inspector shall reserve the right, if in his/her opinion the compaction is not adequate, to perform such tests necessary to confirm that the required compaction has been attained. The cost of such tests shall be borne by the excavator should they not meet the above requirements. If it is found that the above requirements have not been met, the excavator shall recompact and/or reexcavate and compact as necessary until the density requirements have been met.

MEETING ITEM COMMENTARY

AGENDA ITEM: Amendments to City Code Chapter 4: Administrative Code STAFF RESOURCE: William J. Mann, Economic Development Director

Kevin L. Sutherland, City Administrator COUNCIL RESOURCE: Councilor Kevin Roche BACKGROUND: As part of the municipal budget for the 2018 fiscal year it has been proposed that the funding for the annual operational budget of the City’s Economic Development Department be taken from revenues generated in the City’s approved Development Districts which allow such use vs. the historic and current practice of funding these operations from an allocation from the City’s General Fund. For purposes of transparency and tracking we are suggesting that any funds utilized from the City’s Approved Development Districts all pass thru the City’s Economic Development Fund. In order to allow this, the City Administrative Code would require an amendment. The Code should be further amended to allow for this fund to support other economic development related expenses. NOTE: For Auditing purposes all of the City’s operational expenditures are required to pass thru the General Fund. In order to amend or change an ordinance, the process requires the standard three meeting process adopted as part of the Saco Charter (Section 2.09). This includes publication in a newspaper before the public hearing. This item was discussed during workshop on April 10, 2017. The revised exhibit item below reflects the addition of the word “council” to (4) (g.) v. EXHIBITS:

BUDGET MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor Michaud and Saco City Council FROM: Kevin L. Sutherland, City Administrator DATE: April 12, 2017 RE: Outline for May 1st meeting (the review and discussion of amendments to the budget (RADs)

There are two budget calculators on the budget materials portion of the website: Recommended Budget & Collection of RADs and Suggested Changes to the Recommended Budget. The Recommended Budget & Collection of RADs (excel document) under the April 18th date has all of the Requests Above the Directive. This calculator is a tool for the council and the public to analyze “what if” scenarios and review potential changes and the impacts those have on the budget. On the assumption sheet (link is to the right within the Recommended Budget & Collection of RADs excel document) the revised assessment value should be changed to reflect the estimated increase of $35,000,000 or a total assessed value

of $2,107,194,439. Clicking on the logo will take you back to the calculator screen. The Suggested Changes to the Recommended Budget (excel document) under May 1st includes all of the changes that have been suggested by council to date. At this point in time, we’ve received one request for a RAD to be discussed on May 1st (Councilor Cote stated he’d support the Park and Recreation Departments tree pruning request at the March 27th budget workshop). The School Department requested a RAD with the health insurance expense budget below the originally forecasted budget for that item. The Suggested Changes to the Recommended Budget calculator also reflects the $35,000,000 assessed value increase incorporated into the assumptions as a starting point. I’ve also included the $500,000 expenditure increase for the TIF districts in the calculator with the offsetting recurring revenue (no effect on the general fund or the tax levy). The budget book; however, did not originally include the offsetting revenues. As a revision to last year’s budget amendment process, I am requesting that council members submit any amendments to the budget before the May 1st meeting. By submitting amendments in advanced, departments and agencies are able to better explain the impacts those amendments will have. Each RAD will be discussed at the May 1st meeting and voting on the individual amendments to those RADs will take place on May 8th. Once the individual amendments have been made, the final vote on the budget will take place. Administration will continue to update this excel document as requests come in between now and 12:00 PM on May 1st.

BUDGET MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor Michaud and Saco City Council FROM: Kevin L. Sutherland, City Administrator DATE: April 12, 2017 RE: Increase in TIF values (RAD#1826)

When TIF money is received, the funds are added to the general fund as revenue. These funds are already reserved for specific uses, so as part of a general accounting practice the funds are then transferred into an account for TIF districts. RAD #1826 reflects the $500,000 expenditure increase for the new Downtown Development District as well as the Chinburg TIF districts in the calculator with the offsetting recurring revenue (no effect on the general fund or the tax levy). The budget book; however, did not originally include the offsetting revenues.

RE: Ongoing Operating vs. Unassigned Fund Balance

There has been some confusion regarding our ongoing operating expenses and how those impact our unassigned fund

balance. I’ve been working on a presentation that I’d like to share with council on Tuesday night to help clarify the

relationship between the city and the school fund balances and the effect operating budgets have on those.
