The Grand Jury finds that Ventura, with its dedicated and knowledgeable staff, would make effective use of the funds allocated for street maintenance. City Response: The City agrees with the Grand Jury on this finding. As the Grand Jury addresses in their report, the real contributing problem to poorer pavement conditions is there are more pavement needs then there is available funds. The City of Ventura, with its limited resources, uses three main delivery systems to address and improve its pavement system: capital improvement projects, maintenance projects, and on- 501 Poli Street • Ventura, CA 93001 • (805) 654-7800 • www.cityofventura.ca.gov CITY OF going street repairs. This multi-pronged approach is helping hold together the City's pavements. The capital projects focus on pavements that have deteriorated beyond simple maintenance treatments. Maintenance projects focus on keeping pavements that are in good condition, in good condition, by applying surface treatments, such as a slurry seal, that protect the original roadway pavement from the oxidizing effects of the sun and water. On-going street repairs and maintenance is work performed by City crews that include addressing immediate localized repairs such as filling potholes that develop and assisting with long term pavement care by crack sealing the pavements to protect the pavements from water intrusion. City crews also complete smaller resurfacing projects where streets have degraded and capital and maintenance projects are not planned within the 5-year horizon. City staff has learned how to effectively use these delivery systems to stretch any pavement dollars given them. The issue of not achieving a higher PCI is the result of insufficient funding.
