City Administrator Tom Ourada stated that it is required by law to do a one and six year Street Improvement Plan and it has to be submitted to the state by a Certified Street Superintendent, which is what he is.  Failure to do would withheld state funds which would be about $900,000. You also can't get federal aid on projects that are not on the one and six-year plan. Ourada went through and explained that he made several changes on the one year plan. One was to add a planning component for an elevated not at grade crossing on Main and Linden Ave. Ourada explained that the last two north side gap paving projects he pulled from the one to put on the six year plan. Ourada stated that most of the projects with the exception of a couple would involve some type of state or federal aid or grants. 
Ourada explained the six-year plan and stated that the major change on that would be the construction of the overpass and pedestrian crossing. Ourada explained that the City is applying for multiple grants to help with the feasibility study and then with the construction of the project. The Planning Commission members discussed the high costs of studies needed to complete projects. 
Planning Commission member Justin Kozisek asked Ourada about other street projects such as 15th Street and Boswell Ave and how they could be improved. Ourada explained that letters were mailed out to property owners on 15th Street and all but one property owner were against the paving project. Ourada also explained that Boswell Ave had been on the plan years ago but the Planning Commission decided to remove it.
