TO: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council
SUBMITTED BY: Jason MacDonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
DATE: December 7, 2020
SUBJECT: Spring Street ~ Church to Croft - Water Main Replacement
ORIGIN: Review of the PASER rating system and condition of the existing water main.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $177,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 water utility capital budget to replace 152 meters of Spring Street between Church Street and Croft Street.
BACKGROUND: The current PASAR rating of Spring Street between Church and Croft is 6 out of a possible 10 which indicates resurfacing is required. As the water main is also required to be replaced it makes sense to carry out both of these projects at the same time.
DISCUSSION: Once the main has been installed and put back into service the street subgrade will be excavated, re-built, and paved with new asphalt.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $177,000 to be included in the 2021/22 water utility capital budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Prior to construction work taking place a public notification program will be undertaken.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Replacing the street will have very little impact to the environment.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICAITONS: There are no social justice implications to this decision.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not undertake this project at this time.

35 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE RFD# Date:
TO: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council
SUBMITTED BY: Jason MacDonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
DATE: December 11, 2020
SUBJECT: Purchase of a new Dump Truck
ORIGIN: Vehicle Replacement Plan
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $175,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 Water Capital budget to replace the 2004 Dump Truck.
BACKGROUND: The 2004 Dump Truck has reached the end of its useful life and has been taken out of service. The vehicle replacement plan indicates that this truck should have been replaced in 2016. Repair costs to keep this truck operating for the last 3 years were $10,328.
DISCUSSION: Replacing this Dump Truck will enable the Town to continue to provide safe and reliable vehicles for our employees to carry out their duties. It will also improve operational efficiencies by replacing an aging unit with a new model reducing the likelihood of mechanical failure. This truck will be equipped to accept our slide in/out salt hopper which is currently installed on a 2010 Freightliner Dump Truck and will give us the ability to have a second truck equipped for the salt hopper minimizing down time in the event of mechanical breakdown of either unit.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $175,000 to be included in the 2021/22 Water Capital budget
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: No community engagement has been contemplated as this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: With advances in technology over the last 16 years a new truck will have improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions as compared to older trucks.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the replacement of the dump truck at this time.

DATE: December 11, 2020
SUBJECT: Works Garage new Overhead Doors x 8
ORIGIN: 2015 SNC Lavalin Asset Management Assessment LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year. RECOMMENDATION: That $30,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 general capital budget and $30,000 be allocated in the water capital budget to purchase and replace the 8 existing overhead doors at the Public Works garage.
BACKGROUND: The existing doors were installed in the mid 1980’s and are in need of replacement. Repair costs over the last 3 years total $7169.75 and sourcing parts to repair these doors is becoming increasingly difficult. There are four overhead doors in both the Water Utility side and the Streets / Sewer side of the building.
DISCUSSION: This request focuses on ensuring that the Public Works garage overhead doors provide an effective barrier to the elements and are reliable and safe. Presently, these overhead doors provide poor insulation for the building resulting in heat loss. Ongoing maintenance is being performed to keep the doors in working order.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $30,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget and $30,000 to be included in the water capital budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: No community engagement has been contemplated as this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Replacing the existing overhead doors with new energy efficient overhead doors will show some reduction in heating costs.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the replacement of the overhead doors at this time.

TO: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council
SUBMITTED BY: Jason MacDonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
DATE: December 7, 2020
SUBJECT: Design of Street Reconstruction and Infrastructure Replacement – Beacon Street (Church to Croft)
ORIGIN: Review of the PASER rating system and condition of the existing water and sewer mains.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $15,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 water utility capital budget to and $15,000 be allowed in the General Capital budget for the design of the replacement of all underground infrastructure and street reconstruction on Beacon Street between Church and Croft Streets.
BACKGROUND: The current PASAR rating of Beacon Street between Church and Croft is 5 out of a possible 10 which indicates resurfacing is required. As the water and sewer mains are also required to be replaced it makes sense to carry out these projects and rebuild the street at same time.
DISCUSSION: Once the water and sewer mains have been installed and put back into service the street subgrade will be excavated, re-built, and paved with new asphalt.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $15,000 to be included in the 2021/22 water utility capital budget and $15,000 be included in the General Capital budget.

SUBJECT: Water Meter Reader Replacement
ORIGIN: The water meter reading equipment has become unreliable and needs to be replaced.

RECOMMENDATION: That $15,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 water capital budget to replace the hand held meter reading equipment.
BACKGROUND: Every three months the Amherst Water Utility reads all 3561 water meters in our system. This process takes 7 to 10 working days. We use electronic hand held equipment to read and transfer the information directly to the billing system,
DISCUSSION: Our current reading equipment was purchased in 2012. It has given us good service over the years but during the last several meter reading sessions it has become unreliable and it is time to replace this equipment.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $15,000 to be included in the 2021/22 water capital budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: No community engagement has been contemplated at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no environmental implications of replacing water meters.

119 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE RFD# Date:
TO: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council
SUBMITTED BY: Jason MacDonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
DATE: December 11, 2020
SUBJECT: Purchase of a new Trackless Salt Spreader
ORIGIN: 2021/22 Capital Budget Item.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $30,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 general capital budget to purchase a new tow behind trackless salt spreader.
BACKGROUND: Salting and sanding of sidewalks in the past was completed using 2 salt/sand spreaders that were fabricated at the works garage. The units did not work well. The application of salt or sand was not consistent and could not be regulated, the material would either come out too fast when dry or not work at all if the material was wet. A new salt spreader was purchased in 2019 and performed well allowing the operators to control the application rate when salting and to apply salt only where needed.
DISCUSSION: Replacing the remaining homemade salt spreader with a new spreader will improve operational efficiency with respect to sidewalk de-icing. The addition of a new spreader will reduce the time required to apply salt to the sidewalks and reduce the number of trips to the Public Works Garage to reload as the new units have double the capacity of the old ones.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $30,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: No community engagement has been contemplated as this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: With fewer trips to reload there will be a reduction in diesel engine emissions from the trackless and having the ability to control the spread rate of the salt there will be less wasted material as salt is only used where needed.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the replacement of the salt spreader at this time.

DATE: February 19, 2021
SUBJECT: Council Chamber Upgrade
ORIGIN: Attendance at Province of Nova Scotia Accessibility Workshop.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 – Council may expend money required by the municipality for: building maintenance; Procurement Policy
RECOMMENDATION: That $30,000 additional funds be added to the $30,000 from the 2020/21 capital budget for a total project cost of $60,000 in the General Capital Budget to allow for accessibility and technological improvements to Council Chambers.
BACKGROUND: Bill 59 – also known as the Nova Scotia Accessibility Act was passed in April 2017. The aim of the Act is to make NS barrier free by 2030. The Act will require all municipal units to create an accessibility committee to review and recommend accessibility improvements to all Town facilities and infrastructure.
DISCUSSION: Our current Council chambers is not fully accessible should a member of Council or a committee require barrier free access. It is socially responsible to make the necessary improvement PRIOR to such a situation. In addition, some technological upgrades to the facility are also required.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $30,000 additional funds be added to the $30,000 from the 2020/21 capital budget for a total project cost of $60,000 be included in the general capital budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: No community engagement is required to make the necessary upgrades.

LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA, Section 65 (z) Power to expend money states: “The council may expend money required by the municipality for…acquisition of equipment, materials, vehicles, machinery, apparatus, implements and plant for a municipal purpose;”
RECOMMENDATION: That $25,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 Capital budget to replace and redesign the two Amherst Industrial Park Directory signs, located at each entrance of the park to a more modern, efficient layout.
BACKGROUND: The current directory signs at the Industrial Park entrances have outdated information, including the contact phone number.

The directory and map are not arranged in a helpful manner and there is no indication of which properties are available for development. The structure for one of the signs is rusting and decaying.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $25,000 in the 2021/2022 Capital budget.

TO: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council
SUBMITTED BY: Jason MacDonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
DATE: December 7, 2020
SUBJECT: Spring Street ~ Croft to Church - Street, Sewer and Storm Main Replacement
ORIGIN: Review of PASER ratings and condition of underground infrastructure.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $250,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 general capital budget to replace 152 meters of storm sewer, sanitary sewer and street between Church Street and Croft Street.
BACKGROUND: The current PASAR rating of Spring Street between Croft and Queen is 6 out of a possible 10 which indicates resurfacing is required. As the sanitary and storm mains also required to be replaced it makes sense to carry out both of these projects at the same time.
DISCUSSION: Once the mains have been installed and put back into service the street subgrade will be excavated, re-built, and paved with new asphalt. During procurement prices will be requested for possible replacement of the sidewalk and installation of curb.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $250,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Prior to construction work taking place a public notification program will be undertaken.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Replacing the street will have very little impact to the environment.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICAITONS: There are no social justice implications to this decision.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not undertake this project at this time.

TO: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council
SUBMITTED BY: Jason MacDonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
DATE: December 8, 2020
SUBJECT: Franklyn St - CSP Replacement and Asphalt Overlay
ORIGIN: Review of condition of corrugated steel storm sewer lines and PASER Street rating system.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $220,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 general capital budget to replace the corrugated steel storm sewer, and place an asphalt overlay on Franklyn Street.
BACKGROUND: The corrugated steel storm sewer (CSP) is rapidly deteriorating and is causing deformation in the roadbed above. In many areas, the bottom of the pipe has rusted away which allows some of the collected storm water to escape. This water then displaces the subgrade creating voids that the materials above begins to settle into. The PASER rating of the street is 5-6 which indicates an asphalt overlay or cold mill and re-paving is required.
DISCUSSION: Recommend replacing the existing CSP with modern PVC pipe or similar. Once the new pipe is installed, the excavation trench will be batched with asphalt, and an asphalt overlay will be applied to the entire project area.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $220,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Notice of construction would be provided to all affected residents prior to the start of construction.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: There are minimal environmental implications to this decision.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: There are no social justice implications to this decision.
ALTERNATIVES: Repair damaged asphalt and road base as required and defer the full scope of this proposed project to a future budget year.

SUBJECT: Design of Street Reconstruction and Infrastructure Replacement – Beacon Street (Church to Croft)
ORIGIN: Review of the PASER rating system and condition of the existing water and sewer mains.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $15,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 water utility capital budget to and $15,000 be allowed in the General Capital budget for the design of the replacement of all underground infrastructure and street reconstruction on Beacon Street between Church and Croft Streets.
BACKGROUND: The current PASAR rating of Beacon Street between Church and Croft is 5 out of a possible 10 which indicates resurfacing is required. As the water and sewer mains are also required to be replaced it makes sense to carry out these projects and rebuild the street at same time.
DISCUSSION: Once the water and sewer mains have been installed and put back into service the street subgrade will be excavated, re-built, and paved with new asphalt.

DATE: December 8, 2020
SUBJECT: Capital Paving – 2021/22
ORIGIN: PASER Street Rating Policy
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $285,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 general capital budget for capital paving projects
BACKGROUND: The following road sections have been identified as being in poor condition using the PASER system. After considering the age of underground infrastructure, and the PASER findings, these areas have been identified as suitable candidates for paving:
$70,000: Haliburton St: Cold Milling and Asphalt Overlay. . PASER rating of 6. Due to the rollover curbing present on the South side of the street, the existing road surface must be cold milled prior to paving to ensure the new road surface ties in properly with the excising curb and gutter. This process will also provide for a higher quality final asphalt surface by removing many of the existing surface imperfections.
$100,000: Tupper Bvld and Chandler Rd: Asphalt Overlay . PASER rating of 5. An asphalt overlay was placed on Tupper Boulevard from the Town Boundary to just past the Novapet Inc. south entrance as part of the 2020-21 capital budget. The existing asphalt surface for the remaining ~200m of Tupper Boulevard and the entirety of Chandler Road are in poor condition. The placement of an asphalt overlay would suitably rehabilitate this road section. Although this budget amount is not expected to allow the entirety of Chandler Road to be paved, it is expected to allow a large portion of the work to be completed.
$80,000: Summit Ave: Asphalt Overlay . PASER rating of 6. The placement of an asphalt overlay would suitably rehabilitate this road section.

2325 $15,000: Townshend Ave (Church to Academy): Asphalt Overlay . PASER rating of 6. The placement of an asphalt overlay would suitably rehabilitate this road section. $20,000: Dickey Street (Charles to Rupert): Asphalt Overlay . PASER rating of 6. The placement of an asphalt overlay would suitably rehabilitate this road section.
DISCUSSION: Completing the projects noted above would improve the overall road conditions in these areas.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $285,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: A public advisory would be issued on social media prior to the start of work.

SUBJECT: Capital Sidewalk Replacement – 2021/22
ORIGIN: Annual condition rating of all sidewalks.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $35,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 general capital budget for capital sidewalk replacement projects.
BACKGROUND: The following sidewalk sections have been identified as being in poor condition during annual inspections. These areas should be replaced with new concrete sidewalks.
$15,000: Croft Street (Beacon to East Pleasant) . The existing sidewalk in this area is a mixture of asphalt and concrete which has broken up and settled over time. There are currently many uneven sections “Trippers” which create dangerous site conditions for pedestrians.
$20,000: Park Street (Patterson to Patterson) . The existing asphalt sidewalk in this area has broken up and settled over time. There are currently many uneven sections “Trippers” which create dangerous site conditions for pedestrians. The sidewalk on the other portions of Park St has been replaced with concrete in recent years and is in acceptable condition.
DISCUSSION: Replacing the sidewalk sections noted above would greatly improve pedestrian safety in these areas.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $35,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget. The replacement work will be undertaken by Town staff.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: A public advisory would be issued to impacted residents / businesses prior to the start of work.

SUBJECT: Mallard Drive Storm Drainage
ORIGIN: Local Property Owners Request for Ditches to be Filled In
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $40,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 general capital budget for the installation of storm drainage pipe and catch basins on certain identified portions of Mallard Drive.
BACKGROUND: Mallard Drive was constructed by a private developer a number of years ago. It was designed with a ditched storm drainage system which is allowed in the Town’s development standards.
DISCUSSION: Soon after the completion of the street some of the ditches in this area began experiencing excessive erosion after significant rain events. After such events the Town rebuilds the shoulder of the road to our best ability. A better, permeant solution, is to install catch basins and pipe the ditch where it is more than 3 feet in depth and there is a steep slope from the shoulder of the road to the bottom of the ditch. The areas highlighted in red on the map below will be piped. The green areas were completed this year.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $40,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: A public advisory would be issued on social media prior to the start of work.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: There are minimal environmental implications to this decision.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: There are no social justice implications to this decision.

SUBJECT: Replacement of structural firefighting protective gear (Bunker gear)
ORIGIN: 2021 - 2022 Capital Budget request
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: 37000-01 Procurement Policy
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve a 2021 - 2022 capital expenditure of $20,000 to replace structural firefighting protective gear (Bunker Gear).
BACKGROUND: Firefighter structural protective gear is used to ensure that our firefighters have the required equipment to perform fire suppression activities during various types of emergency operations.
DISCUSSION: This request focuses on ensuring that our firefighters continue to conduct emergency operations with effective structural firefighting protective ensembles. The Amherst Fire Department has fifty-six active members who attend operational training and respond to emergency requests, who require protective gear to perform their duties. Presently, the Amherst Fire Department has 9 sets of structural firefighting gear, that has surpassed its operational expectancy; in relation to the industry standard and in most cases no longer meets the minimum structural firefighting standard.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $20,000 will procure approximately 6 - 9 sets of structural firefighting protective gear.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: The tendering process will be used to procure this product, as per our Procurement Policy.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: The replaced structural firefighting bunker gear will be removed from service, washed and stored. This equipment will be used by our educational programs.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: The replacement of structural firefighting protective gear will not have or promote a social justice implication within the community.

SUBJECT: Relocation of a portion of the existing vehicle exhaust rail system (Nederman)
ORIGIN: 2021 - 2022 Capital Budget request
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: 37000-01 Procurement Policy
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve a 2021 - 2022 capital expenditure of $16,000 to relocate a portion of the existing vehicle exhaust rail system.
BACKGROUND: The vehicle exhaust rail system extracts fumes and gases from the apparatus floor and directly vents them to the outside of the structure. This system allows for the effective operation of fire apparatus within the controlled environment of the apparatus floor regardless of the weather conditions outside of the station.
DISCUSSION: This capital request focuses on improving the operational functioning of the existing vehicle exhaust rail system at the Amherst fire station. Over the last few years with the introduction of emission control systems in fire apparatus manufactures have changed the location of the vehicle exhaust on fire apparatus to the passenger’s side. At present, a portion of the existing vehicle exhaust rail system at the fire station needs to be modified to properly connect one of our fire apparatus to the vehicle exhaust rail system, in order to maintain effective extraction of vehicle exhaust.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $16,000 will procure the relocation of one section of the existing vehicle exhaust rail system to meet the operational needs.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: The tendering process will be used to procure the relocation of the equipment, as per our Procurement Policy.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: The relocation of the vehicle exhaust rail system will not present environmental implications.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: The relocation of the vehicle exhaust rail system will not have or promote a social justice implication within the community.

ORIGIN: 2021 - 2022 Capital Budget request
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: 37000-01 Procurement Policy
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve a 2021 - 2022 capital expenditure of $30,000 to purchase replacement fire fighting hose.
BACKGROUND: Annually, firefighting hose is removed from service because of failure during annual hose testing, damaged during a fire suppression operation. Firefighting hose is tested annually to verify that it will meet operational requirements during fire suppression operations. Unfortunately, this year through failures during annual testing and losses during fire suppression operations; we have removed in excess of 40 links of fire fighting hose from service. Over the last 3 years the annual removal of firefighting hose from service has increased greatly, to a position where new firefighting hose needs to be purchased to offset the quantity of hose that is being removed from service annually.
DISCUSSION: This capital request focuses on replacing firefighting hose that has been removed from service, while maintaining a level of reserve firefighting hose to the operational water supply requirements of the Amherst fire department.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $30,000 will procure the supply and delivery of firefighting hose to support the fire suppression operations of the Amherst fire department.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: The tendering process will be used to procure this product, as per our Procurement Policy.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: The replacement of firefighting hose will not present environmental implications.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: The replacement of firefighting hose will not have or promote a social justice implication within the community.

ORIGIN: 2021 - 2022 Capital Budget request
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: 37000-01 Procurement Policy
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve a 2021 - 2022 capital expenditure of $11,000 to purchase a replacement rescue air bag lifting system.
BACKGROUND: This air bag system is used to during rescue operations assist fire fighters when there is limited access space during a rescue to use conventional rescue tools.
DISCUSSION: This capital request focuses on maintaining operational rescue capacity in relation to pinch point rescue operations. This year, I removed from service the current air lift system that was in service with the Amherst fire department for over 20 years based on the functionality of the components and that the manufactures operational expiration date has passed. Unfortunately, by removing this system from service it has reduced the rescue capabilities of the Amherst fire department in some situations, particularly when dealing with pinch point rescues and the lifting of objects as part of a rescue operation.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $11,000 will procure the supply and delivery of a new air bag lifting system for the Amherst fire department.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: The tendering process will be used to procure this product, as per our Procurement Policy.

SUBJECT: Capital Budget -2021/2022 – Patrol Vehicle
ORIGIN: 2021/2022 Capital Budget
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: That council approve $65,000 in the 2021/2022 capital Budget for the purchase of a patrol vehicle.
BACKGROUND: Unit #2, is a 2017 Ford Taurus Police package. It is a marked patrol vehicle has been in regular use for close to 4 years and is due for replacement.
DISCUSSION: To ensure the department’s fleet is able to meet the demands of 24/7 policing the marked patrol vehicles are replaced after three to four years of service. This process was developed through a review of the vehicle replacement practices of other Police Agencies, including other NS Municipal Police Agencies, and the RCMP. Unit #2 will have been in service for close to 4 years as of 2021 and it is estimated the mileage will exceed 200,000km by mid- summer. The amount requested includes the cost of the new vehicle, removal of equipment from the current vehicle and installation of equipment in the new vehicle.
Two years ago, Ford announced that they will no longer be producing cars, including the police service vehicles. As a result, the tender response may be limited as only one supplier will be able to provide an all-wheel drive police service sedan. The other option may be to purchase a Police Service SUV, which will come at a higher price. Should an SUV be purchased, all new equipment will need to be purchased as the old equipment will not fit into the SUV.

SUBJECT: Capital Budget -2021/2022 – Hard Body Armour
ORIGIN: 2021/2022 Capital Budget
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: That council approve $21,000 in the 2021/2022 capital Budget for the purchase of 12 set of Hard Body Armour for the department carbine operators.
BACKGROUND: The Amherst Police Department has 15+ trained carbine operators. Over the past number of years, the Department has purchased/obtained Carbine Rifles to address an identified deficiency in the capability of the weaponry issued to APD officers to respond to high- risk incidents. The Carbine enhances the ability to respond to incidents involving rifles, barricaded persons, hostage taking and active shooters. The increased ballistic capacity, in comparison to 9 mm pistol issued to APD officers, is capable of stopping a more heavily armed or armoured offender and can deployed at a greater distance. With the increased risk to our members, additional protective equipment is required.
DISCUSSION: Cpl Jeff Walsh and Cpl Derek Hebert are certified as Carbine instructors. APD Carbine Operators receive 3 initial days of Carbine Training to Ontario Provincial Police Emergency Response Team Standards. Each following year, Carbine training and Qualifications include 2 12-hour days, again at the OPP ERT standards for Carbine. With the additional training also comes additional responsibilities and abilities, such as responding to incidents involving higher threat levels. As a result, Carbine Operators can be exposed to, and targeted by, offenders armed with weapons of higher ballistic capabilities. Additional protective gear is required to provide enhanced protection against the higher threat levels. The standard protective gear issued by Canadian Police agencies consists of a ballistic vest, designed to go over the officer’s regular body armour, and a ballistic helmet, both of which, provide enhanced protection. The purchase of 15 Ballistic Helmets were approved in the 2020/2021 Capital Budget. Eight Ballistic vests (Hard Body Armour) were purchased in 2016 and have been in use. The recommendation is that ballistic plates in the vests be replaced every 5 years. With the addition of extra carbines to the initial 5 that were originally purchased, 12 sets of Ballistic Armour need to be purchased to ensure that our members can respond and remain engaged during multiple operational periods when dealing with high-risk incidents. The ballistic vests can

Over the last three years the repair and maintenance costs for the Zamboni were $27,413.06. Consistent maintenance is being performed to ensure working properly.

TO: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council
SUBMITTED BY: Jason MacDonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
DATE: December 11, 2020
SUBJECT: New Outdoor Skating Rink / Tourist Center / Market / Take Out Seating
ORIGIN: Sale of existing outdoor rink property for potential future development.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $200,000 be allocated in the 2021/2022 capital budget for the development of a new outdoor skating rink, market and tourist information center at the corner of Victoria and Havelock Streets.
BACKGROUND: The Town has utilized this property as a passive park for in excess of 20 years. With the recent sale of the location of the existing outdoor skating rink this property was purchased partially to ensure that outdoor skating could be continued should the existing outdoor rink be developed.
DISCUSSION: While the entire concept for the property has not been fully developed, if a concrete pad was placed for use as an outdoor skating rink in the winter, it could also be used for a covered market, outdoor seating and tourist information center in the spring, summer and fall.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $200,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget. Depending on the total extent of the park development that is chosen by Council, additional funds may be required. Furthermore, staff will attempt to secure additional project funding through various grants that may be available from senior levels of government.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: No community engagement is anticipated at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no environmental implications at this time.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: Any future development of the site will consider accessible options / requirements as well as other social justice issues.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the funding for this project at this time.

DATE: December 11, 2020
SUBJECT: Zero Turn Grass Catchers
ORIGIN: Review of Operational Requirements
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $10,000 be allocated in the 2021/2022 capital budget for the purchase of grass catchers for our zero turn mowers.
BACKGROUND: In the late spring when the grass is growing at a rapid rate, it has been difficult to not leave behind excessive accumulations of cut grass after mowing our parks, greenspaces, and facilities. The turf in our parks and facilities have suffered from not having the proper turf maintenance equipment.
DISCUSSION: The purchase of grass catchers for our zero turn mowers will help to lessen the maintenance demands within our parks and turf facilities. With the recent installation of turf infields at Robb Centennial Ball Complex, there will be a need to remove grass clippings to ensure better playability. While some grass clippings left behind are indeed beneficial to building a healthy soil environment which promotes healthy turf growth, thick and heavy clumps of grass left behind by mowers can lead to the death of the turf buried underneath it.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $10,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: No community engagement is anticipated at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no environmental implications for this purchase.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: There are no social justice implications for this purchase.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the purchase of zero turn grass catchers at this time.

SUBJECT: Trackless Aerator
ORIGIN: Review of Operational Requirements
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $15,000 be allocated in the 2021/2022 capital budget for the purchase of a trackless aerator.
BACKGROUND: Each fall, and on an as needed basis, we aerate our playing fields and greenspaces to help reduce soil compaction and create healthy soil environments. By doing this we encourage healthier turf growth and also provide safer playing surfaces. In the past, we have used a tow behind aerator to aerate our playing fields and greenspaces. This aerator is no longer able to be used and needs to be replaced.
DISCUSSION: Our trackless equipment has the capability to have several attachments added to it which makes it a multi-use piece of equipment. The Trackless Aerator implement will be used during the active growing season to improve and better our turf playing surfaces.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $15,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: No community engagement is anticipated at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no environmental implications for this purchase.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: There are no social justice implications for this purchase.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the purchase of the trackless aerator at this time.

4951 Amherst Town Council RFD# Date: Dec 11, 2020
TO: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council SUBMITTED BY: Jason MacDonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer DATE: December 11, 2020 SUBJECT: Back Up Brine Pump for Stadium
ORIGIN: Recreation Master plan
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $20,000 be allocated in the 2021/2022 capital budget for back up brine pump replacement.
BACKGROUND: The Recreation Master Plan references maintaining equipment in facilities. Existing back-up brine pump does not provide adequate brine flow for the size of our plant.
DISCUSSION: At present, if main brine pump were to fail, we would be able to maintain ice with the back-up brine pump however due to the reduced flow rate of the back-up brine pump, we may end up having to cancel events as the flow rate would only allow us to maintain the existing ice with no events and is not adequate to maintain ice through heavy usage.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Include $20,000 in the 2021/2022 Capital budget for replacement of the second brine pump
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: No community engagement is anticipated as a result of this purchase.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no environmental implications to the replacement of the brine pump.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: There are no social justice implications to the replacement of the brine pump.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not replace the brine pump and run the risk of not having a second brine pump to carry the load for maintaining ice.

SUBJECT: Cenotaph Restoration
ORIGIN: Direction from Council to develop a plan for the restoration of the cenotaph.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $40,000 be allocated in the 2021/2022 capital budget to restore the cenotaph at Victoria Square.
BACKGROUND: The cenotaph was constructed in 1921 and limited maintenance has been carried out since that time. The cenotaph was built to honour the three hundred and thirty-six men from Cumberland County who gave their lives in the war as well as to remember Captain Leon Hall Curry and his brothers in arms of Cumberland County, NS.
DISCUSSION: Staff have received an estimate of the work and cost to restore the cenotaph at Victoria Square to its original state.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The total estimated cost of the project is $40,000. Staff have made an application to the Community War Memorial Fund to cover 50% of the restoration cost.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: The local Legion is aware and supportive of the restoration project and funding application.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no environmental implications to the restoration of the cenotaph.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: Restoration of the cenotaph will show appreciation and respect for our veterans and ensure that the cenotaph is available for current and future generations to do so.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the restoration at this time.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council
From: Jason MacDonald, MCIP, Deputy CAO
Date: January 22, 2021
Subject: 2021/22 Capital Budget vs Vehicle Replacement Plan
When determining the replacement of vehicles and equipment many criteria are evaluated. Our Vehicle Replacement Plan is used to track all vehicles and related equipment owned by the Town of Amherst. This Plan tracks the age, usage, and condition of the various assets and is intended to work as a guide to determine when replacement is required. When the anticipated replacement year approaches, the equipment is assessed to determine its current condition, repairs required, and its importance within the organization. Equipment with high importance and poor condition (ie Service Truck, Loader, Backhoe) would be recommended for replacement.
In order to be economically prudent, we do not recommend replacing every vehicle that meets the replacement criteria in the Plan. Each year, the highest priority vehicles / equipment recommended for replacement. Other high priority equipment is typically deferred to the next budget year, and is repaired as required to allow for its continued operation as long as possible. Furthermore, the vehicle replacement plan is updated regularly to factor in unforeseen condition changes such as collisions, and mechanical failure. Occasionally, equipment that may meet replacement criteria in the plan is assessed and is determined to be in good enough condition to be utilized for another year, or more.
There are also many cases where a vehicle no longer suitable for its current usage, or has passed a usage milestone set by a department. In these situations, the vehicles can be replaced, with the original vehicle repurposed in another department. This process ensures that the Town receives maximum usage from all equipment.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council
From: Jason MacDonald, Deputy CAO – Operations.
Date: January 21, 2021
Subject: Selection of Capital Projects for 10 Year Capital Budget
There are a number of factors that go into recommending or not recommending a paving project for the ten-year capital budget after the PASER rating is completed:
Water and Sewer mains should be less than 75 years old: The expected life cycle of ductile iron main or a clay pipe is 75 years. It would not be efficient to repave a street and shortly thereafter have to replace a water or sewer main.
Similar to the reasons above, ideally, we don’t carry out a paving project on streets that have corrugated steel pipe (CSP) for a storm sewer. This pipe was installed in the 70’s and 80’s has been found to be in need of replacement.
We may want to schedule the replacement of a sidewalk to coincide with a street reconstruction project if such a larger project is scheduled.
Finally, there is a substantial amount of infrastructure that should be replaced every year, however in order to be fiscally responsible not all projects are recommended.

DEPARTMENT: CORPORATE SERVICES
TITLE: DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
Minutes reference date: January 22, 2007 1st Revision date: 2nd Revision date:
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Debt Management Policy is to outline the management methods for long-term borrowings and debt repayment.
POLICY STATEMENT
The Town will confine long-term borrowing to capital investments or projects that cannot be financed from current revenues. The Town will not use long-term debt to finance current operating expenditures. Considerations will be made before borrowing funds as to the level of existing debt and the impact on current and future operating budgets.
When the Town finances capital projects through the issuance of debentures, it will pay back the debentures within a period not to exceed the expected useful life of the project. Total annual payments of principal and interest for long term borrowings will not exceed 15% percent of the Town’s total annual own source generated operating revenue. Where possible, the Town may use special assessment or revenues instead of long term borrowings.
The Town will maintain a debt repayment schedule outlining debt principal and interest outstanding for each year.

10. The fiscal year of the Town is April 1 to March 31. The annual budgeting process is preceded by a planning process that identifies priority initiatives for the upcoming fiscal year, based on the strategic directions previously established by Council.
11. Municipalities in Nova Scotia are not permitted to accumulate deficits. Municipal debt, with few exceptions is permitted only for the acquisition of capital assets which the municipality defines as acquisitions of tangible capital assets greater than $5,000 with an estimated useful life in excess of one year.
12. On an annual basis, costs are established for programs and initiatives and are reflected in the Operating and Capital budgets. Tax rates are calculated to generate the revenue required to fund the various programs and services. These rates are determined in conjunction with the annual assessments of properties in the Town, as established annually through the Assessment Roll generated by the Nova Scotia Property Valuation Services Corporation (PVSC).
Calculation of Rates
13. Each of the Residential and Commercial rates has three components, which are listed below and defined in Section 4. All rates in this section are expressed as per $100 of assessment. The calculation to determine each one is:
a) Mandatory Provincial Contribution Area Rate The sum of the costs of Education, Property Valuation Services Corporation Assessment, Corrections Services, Housing and Regional Library, divided by the sum of all the taxable property assessment values as provided by PVSC, including grants in lieu.
b) The Community Support Area Rate The sum of the costs of Community Support Grants Policy, Tax Exemption Bylaw, Tax Reduction Policy, Community Events, and the Cumberland YMCA divided by the sum of all the taxable property assessment values as provided by PVSC, including grants in lieu.
c) General Tax Rate
1. Residential – total operating expenditure budget (excluding solid waste and sewage) less the revenue generated by the area rates for the Mandatory Provincial Contribution and Community Support, as well as other non-tax revenue (i.e.: own source revenue, equalization, etc.) divided by the taxable residential and resource property assessment values as provided by PVSC .
2. Commercial – Total operating expenditure budget (excluding solid waste and sewage) less the revenue generated by the area rates for the Mandatory Provincial Contribution and Community Support, as well as other non-tax revenue (i.e.: own source revenue, equalization, etc.) divided by the Commercial taxable property assessment values as provided by PVSC, including grants in lieu.
14. To meet the objective of preparing budgets in a fair, open, consistent, and transparent manner, budget documents for each of the rates outlined in section 4 will be prepared and included as part of the Council package for the months approval is being requested. Budget meetings will be live streamed on the Town’s website. 110112 TOWN OF AMHERST POLICY NUMBER 03450-04 Budget Management Page 5 of 6
Council Approval
15. Council will consider setting:
a) The Mandatory Provincial Contribution Area Rate by no later than the end of February of each year based on the available information from the Province at that time, and will communicate it to the public through social media;
b) The Community Support Area Rate and the General Tax Rate will be approved in the months following the setting of the Mandatory Provincial Contribution Rate with the goal of having all rates set before April 1.
Resolutions of Council are required to approve the rates and the operating and capital budgets.
Authority of CAO:
16. The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the Town has authority to manage the Town within approved budgets, under this policy, and in compliance with any other Council policy or resolution in effect.
17. The CAO is responsible for ensuring compliance with this policy. The CAO may delegate his/her authority to spend approved budgets to any employee of the Town. All Town staff to whom the CAO delegates authority to make expenditures within approved budgets shall comply with all applicable bylaws, policies or resolutions of Council, the Public Procurement Act, Trade Agreements, and with any other restriction imposed by law.
18. In any given year there may be operating budget overruns that are unpredictable and unavoidable. Examples of such overruns include increases in amounts paid for Mandatory Provincial Contribution (Education, Regional Library, Housing, etc.) as well as expenditures for services that are dependent on forces that are uncontrollable by staff (snow management impacted by weather conditions, EMO situations, decisions of Council for action but with no dollar value approved in the budget, etc.). Such cost overruns may be approved by the CAO without prior approval of Council but must be reported to Council as per section 23 of this policy.
19. The CAO has additional authority to exceed the operating budget provided that the Town is still within the overall budget. The CAO has authority to expend these funds for any purpose that the Town has authority to spend but cannot use the funds to create new programs or services that are material in amount or that may be seen to commit the Town to material funding beyond the current fiscal year.
20. The CAO may authorize expenditures in excess of the capital budget on approved capital items or projects as outlined in the Procurement Policy, 03700-01 Section 9. Such authorization will be reported to Council as per section 23 of this policy.
21. The CAO may authorize expenditure of capital funds where the expenditure will be financed by an outside party (i.e. a developer, other level of government, agency, etc.) and where the expenditure is consistent with a prior action of Council (development approval, bylaw, policy, resolution, etc.). The CAO shall not have the authority to approve overages under this section if it stems from a significant change in scope subsequent to the award of the contract.
111113 TOWN OF AMHERST POLICY NUMBER 03450-04 Budget Management Page 6 of 6
22. In an emergency situation the CAO is authorized to make reasonable and informed procurement decisions (Operating and Capital) which are determined by him/her to be necessary, as outlined in the Procurement Policy, 03700-01 Section 9. Authorizations for such expenditures are considered to be over and above the other authorities given under this policy to exceed approved budget amounts; these must be reported to Council as per Section 23 of this policy.
Reporting :
23. The CAO is responsible for timely reporting to Council on the Capital and Operating budget variances and general / emergency related over-expenditure approvals; this will be done in conjunction with the Quarterly Financial Reporting to the Audit Committee. However, over- expenditures approved by the CAO that exceed $50,000 will be reported to Council at the earliest opportunity. Interim reporting may also be done at the discretion of the CAO.

TITLE: CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN (CIP) FRAMEWORK / BUDGET POLICY
Minutes reference date: 12 December 2006
PURPOSE:
The Town of Amherst is developing a Capital Investment Plan (CIP) to strategically plan for future capital projects and to meet the requirements of the Federal Gas Tax Transfer Agreement with the Province of Nova Scotia. The CIP serves as a rational method of determining the most cost effective expenditure of capital dollars based on priority ranking and financial feasibility.
POLICY:
Organizational Responsibility The Treasurer or designate will lead the CIP project, with the support of the Capital Investment Plan Committee. The committee will comprise of a representative from each department. The coordinator will be responsible for leading the CIP project, which will include:
• Developing the related CIP policies; and • Determining the Town’s financial viability.
The Committee will assist the coordinator with these tasks, as well as making the final recommendations surrounding the capital projects and their rank. The committee will be involved with:
• Proposing new capital projects; • Selecting the capital projects for the CIP; • Ranking the projects; and • Assisting the coordinator wherever possible.
Time Frame The CIP has a four to six week time frame with the first year serving as the Town’s capital budget while the remaining years serve as planning years. The CIP will be reviewed annually and with each review, new projects may be added to the CIP to meet current and future changes within the Town. The new projects will be ranked against the same criteria as the existing projects.

DEPARTMENT: ALL DEPARTMENTS
TITLE: CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN (CIP) FRAMEWORK / BUDGET POLICY
Minutes reference date: 12 December 2006
Budgeting A Request for Decision (RFD) is prepared for each capital item requesting approval in the capital budget with consideration given not only to the ranking of the elements within their respective databases but also to such factors as:
1. Corporate goals / objectives 2. Regulatory requirement 3. Reduction of potential liability 4. Cost benefit 5. Maintenance of basic level of service
The RFD will identify the estimated costs and potential funding sources for each capital project request before it is submitted to Council. With this information the Town will determine the least costly financing method for all new projects.
Financing Once the projects have been ranked and selected, the CIP will help outline how the Town will finance the selected projects. In order to do so, the following considerations may be made:
• Percentage of the annual budget allotted to the current and future projects • Fiscal and budget impacts o Determine the total capital costs. o Determine the impact on the operating budget. o Determine the impact on the tax base, tax rate, and user fees. o Determine any available funding that can be directed towards the project.
Council may take these components under consideration when deciding how the projects will be financed, and over how many years they may be financed.

126128 Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating Asphalt PASER Manual
A local highway agency’s major goal is to use public funds to provide a comfortable, safe and economical road surface—no simple task. It requires balancing priorities and making difficult decisions in order to manage pavements. Local rural and small city pavements are often managed informally, based on the staff’s judgment and experience. While this process is both important and functional, using a slightly more formalized technique can make it easier to manage pavements effectively. Experience has shown that there are three especially useful steps in managing local roads:
1. Inventory all local roads and streets.
2. Periodically evaluate the condition of all pavements.
3. Use the condition evaluations to set priorities for projects and select alternative treatments.
A comprehensive pavement management system involves collecting data and assessing several road characteristics: roughness (ride), surface distress (condition), surface skid characteristics, and structure (pavement strength and deflection). Planners can combine this condition data with economic analysis to develop short-range and long-range plans for a variety of budget levels. However, many local agencies lack the resources for such a full-scale system. Since surface condition is the most vital element in any pavement management system, local agencies can use the simplified rating system presented in this Asphalt PASER Manual to evaluate their roads. The PASER ratings combined with other inventory data (width, length, shoulder, pavement type, etc.) from the WisDOT local roads inventory (WISLR) can be very helpful in planning future budgets and priorities. WISLR inventory information and PASER ratings can be used in a computerized pavement management system, PASERWARE, developed by the T.I.C and WisDOT. Local officials can use PASERWARE to evaluate whether their annual road budgets are adequate to maintain or improve current road conditions and to select the most cost-effective strategies and priorities for annual projects. PASER Manuals for gravel, concrete, and other road surfaces, with compatible rating systems are also available (page 29). Together they make a comprehensive condition rating method for all road types. PASER ratings are accepted for WISLR condition data.

Asphalt pavement distress
PASER uses visual inspection to evaluate pavement surface conditions. The key to a useful evaluation is identifying different types of pavement distress and linking them to a cause. Understanding the cause for current conditions is extremely important in selecting an appropriate maintenance or rehabilitation technique. There are four major categories of common asphalt pavement surface distress:
Surface defects Raveling, flushing, polishing.
Surface deformation Rutting, distortion—rippling and shoving, settling, frost heave.
Cracks Transverse, reflection, slippage, longitudinal, block, and alligator cracks.
Patches and potholes
Deterioration has two general causes: environmental due to weathering and aging, and structural caused by repeated traffic loadings. Obviously, most pavement deterioration results from both environmental and structural causes. However, it is important to try to distinguish between the two in order to select the most effective rehabilitation techniques. The rate at which pavement deteriorates depends on its environment, traffic loading conditions, original construction quality, and interim maintenance procedures. Poor quality materials or poor construction procedures can significantly reduce the life of a pavement. As a result, two pavements constructed at the same time may have significantly different lives, or certain portions of a pavement may deteriorate more rapidly than others. On the other hand, timely and effective maintenance can extend a pavement’s life. Crack sealing and seal coating can reduce the effect of moisture in aging of asphalt pavement. With all of these variables, it is easy to see why pavements deteriorate at various rates and why we find them in various stages of disrepair. Recognizing defects and understanding their causes helps us rate pavement condition and select cost-effective repairs. The pavement defects shown on the following pages provide a background for this process. Periodic inspection is necessary to provide current and useful evaluation data. It is recommended that PASER ratings be updated every two years, and an annual update is even better.

Repair with sealcoat or thin bituminous overlay using skid-resistant aggregate. Polished, worn aggregate needs repair. ▼ ▼ Flushing. Dark patches show where asphalt has worked to surface.
129131 EVALUATION — Surface Deformation 5
SURFACE DEFORMATION
Rutting
Rutting is displacement of material, creating channels in wheelpaths. It is caused by traffic compaction or displacement of unstable material. Severe rutting (over 2”) may be caused by base or subgrade consolidation. Repair minor rutting with overlays. Severe rutting requires milling the old surface or reconstructing the roadbed before resurfacing. ▼
Even slight rut- ting is evident after a rain. ▼▼
Severe rutting over 2” caused by poor mix design.
Severe rutting caused by poor base or subgrade. 130132 6 EVALUATION — Surface Deformation
Heavy traffic has shoved pavement Distortion ▼ into washboard ripples and bumps.
Shoving or rippling is surfacing material displaced crossways to the direction of traffic. It can develop into washboarding when the asphalt mixture is unstable because of poor quality aggregate or improper mix design. Repair by milling smooth and overlaying with stable asphalt mix. Other pavement distortions may be caused by settling, frost heave, etc. Patching may provide temporary repair. Permanent correction usually involves removal of unsuitable subgrade material and reconstruction. ▼ Severe settling from utility trench. ▼ Frost heave damage from spring break-up.
131133 EVALUATION — Cracks 7
▼ Widely spaced, well-sealed cracks. CRACKS Transverse cracks
A crack at approximately right angles to the center line is a transverse crack. They are often regularly spaced. The cause is movement due to tempera- ture changes and hardening of the asphalt with aging. Transverse cracks will initially be widely spaced (over 50’). Additional cracking will occur with aging until they are closely spaced (within several feet). These usually begin as hairline or very narrow cracks; with aging they widen. If not properly sealed and maintained, secondary or multiple cracks develop parallel to the initial crack. The crack edges can further deteriorate by raveling and eroding the adjacent pavement. Prevent water intrusion and damage by sealing cracks which are more than 1⁄4” wide. ▼ Sealed cracks, a few feet
apart.

Reflection cracks Cracks in overlays reflect the crack pattern in the pavement underneath. They are difficult to prevent and correct. Thick overlays or reconstruction is usually required. ▼ Concrete joints reflected through bituminous overlay.
Slippage cracks Crescent or rounded cracks in the direction of traffic, caused by slippage between an overlay and an underlying pavement. Slippage is most likely to occur at intersections where traffic is stopping and starting. Repair by removing the top surface and resurfacing using a tack coat. ▼ Crescent- shaped cracks characteristic of slippage. ▼ Loss of bond between pavement layers allows traffic to break loose pieces of surface.
133135 EVALUATION — Cracks 9

▼ Cracks running in the direction of traffic are longitudinal cracks. Center line or lane cracks are caused by inadequate bonding during construction or reflect Edge cracking cracks in underlying pavement. Longi- from weakened tudinal cracks in the wheel path indicate subbase and fatigue failure from heavy vehicle loads. traffic loads. ▼ Cracks within one foot of the edge are caused by insufficient shoulder support, poor drainage, or frost action. Cracks usually start as hairline or vary narrow and widen and erode with age. Without crack filling, they can ravel, develop multiple cracks, and become wide enough to require patching. Filling and sealing cracks will reduce moisture penetration and prevent further subgrade weakening. Multiple longitudinal cracks in the wheel path or pavement edge indicate a need for strengthening with an overlay or reconstruction. ▼ First stage of wheelpath cracking caused by heavy traffic loads.

134136 10 EVALUATION — Cracks
Block cracks
Block cracking is interconnected cracks forming large blocks. Cracks usually inter- sect at nearly right angles. Blocks may range from one foot to approximately 10’ or more across. The closer spacing indicates more advanced aging caused by shrinking and hardening of the asphalt over time. Repair with sealcoating during early stages to reduce weathering of the asphalt. Overlay or reconstruction required in the advanced stages. ▼ Large blocks, approximately 10’ across. ▼ Intermediate-size block cracking, 1’-5’ across with open cracks.
▼ Extensive block cracking in an irregular pattern. ▼ Severe block cracking – 1‘ or smaller blocks. Tight cracks with no raveling. 135137 EVALUATION — Cracks 11
Alligator cracks
Interconnected cracks forming small pieces ranging in size from about 1” to 6”. This is caused by failure of the surfacing due to traffic loading (fatigue) and very often also due to inadequate base or subgrade support. Repair by excavating localized areas and replacing base and surface. Large areas require reconstruction. Improvements in drainage may often be required. ▼▼
Alligator crack pattern. Tight cracks and one patch.
Characteristic “chicken wire” crack pattern shows smaller pavement pieces and patching. ▼
Open raveled alligator cracking with settlement along lane edge most likely due to very soft subgrade.
136138 12 EVALUATION — Patches and Potholes
PATCHES AND POTHOLES Patches Original surface repaired with new asphalt patch material. This indicates a pavement defect or utility excavation which has been repaired. Patches with cracking, settlement or distortions indicate underlying causes still remain. Recycling or reconstruction are required when extensive patching shows distress. ▼ Typical repair of utility excavation. Patch in fair to good condition. ▼ Edge wedging. Pavement edges strengthened with wedges of asphalt. Patch is in very good condition. ▼ Extensive patching in very poor condition.
137139 EVALUATION — Patches and Potholes 13
Potholes
Holes and loss of pavement material caused by traffic loading, fatigue and inadequate strength. Often combined with poor drainage. Repair by excavating or rebuilding localized potholes. Reconstruction required for extensive defects. ▼
Small pothole where top course has broken away. ▼
Multiple potholes show pavement failure, probably due to poor subgrade soils, frost heave, and bad drainage. ▼ Large, isolated pothole, extends through base. Note adjacent alligator cracks which commonly deteriorate into potholes.

TO: Mayor Kogon and Members of Amherst Town Council
SUBMITTED BY: Jason MacDonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
DATE: March 1, 2020
SUBJECT: LaPlanche Street Sidewalk
ORIGIN: September 21, 2020 Committee of the Whole information item indicating that the extension of the sidewalk along LaPlanche Street to the Town boundary will be part of the 2021/22 budget discussions.
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: MGA Section 65 The council shall adopt an operating budget and a capital budget for each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: That $20,000 be allocated in the 2021/22 general capital budget for the extension of the sidewalk along LaPlanche Street to the beginning of the marsh trail behind the Dwight Jones Baseball Field.
BACKGROUND: In the fall of 2020 staff were asked to provide a budget estimate for the extension of the sidewalk on LaPlanche Street to the Town boundary. The memo presented at that time indicated:
“This work can be completed by Town crews, but it is not straightforward due to the need to cut and fill the bank in front of the Robbs Baseball Complex as well as the telephone poles and Town signage in the area. The estimated cost of the work is $20,000 and can be included in the 2021/2022 Capital Budget deliberations.
This sidewalk would also help link the Downtown to the trail system just north of the baseball complex.”
DISCUSSION: The addition of the sidewalk along this route would indeed connect the marsh trail system to the Town sidewalk system. Staff suggest that the sidewalk be connected to the trail and not across the last driveway in front of Dean Allen’s Garage. This slight change will create a desired connection between the trail and sidewalk while eliminating a potential condition where a sidewalk ends abruptly at a Town boundary.
The 2018 Active Transportation Plan shows this route as an existing connection which is obviously not the case.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: $20,000 to be included in the 2021/22 general capital budget to be funded by Gas Tax. The sidewalk construction will be undertaken by Town crews.

158 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: A public advisory would be issued to impacted residents / businesses prior to the start of work.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: There are minimal environmental implications to this decision.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS: Constructing the sidewalk will improve safety and accessibility for users.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not install the sidewalk at this time.
ATTACHMENTS: None
