Workshop: Basics of Street Maintenance

VIII-B

ID 25-1192

6:22 p.m.

Vice Chair Bray returned to Council Chambers.

Jairo Mata (DPW) gave a presentation on the Pavement Management

Program. He broke down the process of assessing the roads using the

Pavement Condition Index (PCI), the ranges for Good, Fair, Poor, and Very

Poor, and that Fresno's Arterial, Collector, and Residential Roads all fall in

the Fair Condition Index. Mata explained how the Public Works Department

prioritizes streets that need maintenance or rehabilitation based on

condition, traffic and available funding, and choosing the correct treatment

for each segment (slurry seal, crack seal or repaving). He concluded with

Budget Optimization and how the Department decides where to allocate

funds for the greatest need and impact, current funding levels, the Pave

More Now Bond, and funding sources. He was available for questions.

Commissioners had questions regarding how often the road's are assessed

and how residents can report bad segments. Commissioner Shergill

expressed his concern with the road conditions especially in certain parts of

Fresno, and feels that Fresno deserves better than a "D" grade. Overall,

Commissioners thanked Mata for his hard work, and thanked Public Works

for the improvements that have been made, especially in communities that

tend to get overlooked.

IX. REPORT BY SECRETARY

6:56 p.m.

Clark thanked Jairo Mata for the presentation. She explained that one of

the roles of the Planning Commission is to appropriately review new

projects to ensure that the City is meeting the legal nexus between the

impact of the project, and the application requirements related to that

specific project. She further explained the importance of the relationship

between the project and the impact on the City's infrastructure, such as

sewer, water, parks, and roads, and how to maintain a standard level.

Commissioner Shergill spoke about Measure C, and encouraged the

residents of Fresno to attend the upcoming meetings.
