CITY L1G•18.1EllS OFFICE
CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE
On approximately March 28th your City Treasurer will receive
a check for your city's share of $2,250,000.00 from the state sur-
plus appropriated by Act 436 of 1979 (approximately $1.77 per
person to your city).
We recommend that this money be deposited in a special Street
Fund Maintenance Account or at least accounted for separately from
your other street funds. Under the provisions of Act 436 of 1979,
you can use this money to match your city's share of the state
street aid money accumulated for the past three (3) years totaling
$3,164,460.00 and appropriated by Act 199 of 1979 (approximately
$2.54 per person to your city). Provisions of Act 436 of 1979
permit you to use all these funds for maintenance of city streets
and waive all provisions of the state street aid bill requiring
the money to be used for construction.
Your League staff is recommending that all this money be used
for city-wide street maintenance; thereby, you can receive the
money almost immediately and begin patching potholes and doing
other street maintenance.
If you want to schedule construction projects with or without
Federal Aid, we would recommend that you use your monthly alloca-
tions of street turnback. This procedure will eliminate as much
"red tape" as possible.
Enclosed is information on the procedures which need to be
followed to obtain the Street -Aid funds. We suggest that you
secure passage of the enclosed resolution at your next Council or
Board meeting and then immediately send it and the letter (sample
enclosed) to Mr. Henry Gray on your municipality's letterhead.
If we can be of further assistance, please call on us.
