Responsible Department: City Manager
On an annual bans, the City M Bangor receives funding from the Stare to support overlay and reconstruction
of local mads. Historically, the City of Bangor has rudeiveal approximately $200,900 per year for this purpose.
Over the last several years, funding for this program has been problematic given the shwifalls expenenced by
the Sate Highway Fund.
Over tins last year, the Oty, worlung with the Maine Municipal ASwmilden and the Maine Depamnentof
Traroportation, has devoted considerable staff time to an effort to revive and modernize this State program.
In partcolar, this effort was addressed toward eliminating sane of the inequities in the existing program that
penalised the Some's service center communities. As a result of this effort, the Local Read Pssistance Program
has been replamJ by a new State Urban - Rural Initiative designed to address these concerns and eliminate
the annual uncertainty about the program and Its funding lerels.
Under MS program, Bangor will remve $233,536 in slate road support in the Coming year, an increase of
about 14%. FuM , we anWwW thatthese funds will now increase on an annual basis as mmpared to a
previously fixnd flat funding level. Overall, the new prpgram wall benefit the City of Bangor and the State's
other service center communities.
The zldched resolve will appropriate these funds ro our Capital Fund forme purpose of our annual overlay,
and mmnrtruction prolamin. I recommend your approval.
