Proposed 0.15% Income Tax Increase
How much will the proposed increase generate?
Estimated additional $1.6 million annually, to be dedicated to the
improvement of the street / transportation system in Newark.
What will this cost the taxpayer?
An additional $1.25 per month for every $10,000 of earned income
Not all Income is taxable!
Income Tax is only collected on EARNED income
Income tax is NOT collected by the City on:
Retirement Funds, Social Security, Annuities, Pensions, IRAs,
Life Insurance Pay-outs, Capital Gains, State Unemployment, Alimony,
Government Allotments, Welfare Payments, Workers Compensation
History
1986 - City Engineer presents concerns regarding lack of dedicated
funding for street maintenance issues.
1993-1995 Lack of funding reduces preventative maintenance to
minimum standards.
1990-2008 Growth of street network, primarily due to new residential
development across the city.
2001 Council defeated a proposed increase to LPPT.
2008 Council approves $5 increase in LPPT. Collection begins.
2009 Council approves $10 increase in LPPT. Collection begins.
2011 Pavement Maintenance Analysis is conducted on all streets.
2014 Council approves 0.15% income tax increase to appear on 11/2014
ballot.
Paving / Resurfacing
Paving is not just asphalt
Install ADA-compliant curb ramps at intersections with sidewalk
Milling / grinding existing top layer of asphalt pavement
Make full depth repairs to areas of base failure
Place new asphalt surface typically 1.25 to 3 thick
Re-grade berms
Install new pavement stripes and markings
Replace signal detector loops at intersections
Adjust manhole and water valve boxes to new surface level
All of these additional items contribute to the costs of paving a street!
High cost - $7 to $11 per square yard
Non-Compliant Curb Ramp
Curb Ramp Under Construction
Preventative Maintenance
Crack Sealing 3 to 5 years after resurfacing
Slurry Sealing 4 to 7 years after resurfacing
Microsurfacing 4 to 7 years after resurfacing
Pothole Patching Done by Street Dept.
We are not doing enough of these first 3 items to preserve the life of the
pavement!
Lower cost than resurfacing - $1.50 to $5.00 per square yard
Pavement Deterioration and Life Cycle Costs
Pavement Life Cycle Curve
Newarks Street System
226 centerline miles of streets in the City, approximately 480 lane
miles
Currently, the City is paving an average of 8.5 miles of streets per year
At the current rate, would take 27 years to complete cycle of paving
each street one time
For good quality streets, we should be on a 15 year cycle, paving an
average of 15 miles of streets per year
Equates to findings of Pavement Analysis study - $2.26 million
annually to keep system from declining further
Pavement Analysis and Management Results
City of Newark, Ohio
The goal of the Pavement Management System is to give a
reasonably accurate model of the roadway system,
then identify strategies to maintain the system
to the level decided upon by the owner.
Data Collection Activities
Pavement Distress (Surface Condition)
Pavement Roughness/Smoothness Acceptance
Overall Pavement Quality
Analysis of all factors is used to develop a Pavement
Condition Index number
PCI ranges from -0- (very poor) to 100 (new pavement)
Pavement Distress
Surface Distress Index (SDI) by street section
Surface Distress Rating System is a score that takes
into account:
Patching (ACC)
Rippling & Shoving
Raveling & Streak
Flushing & Bleeding
Deformation & Distortions
Excessive Crown
Progressive Edge Cracking
Alligator Cracking
Potholes
Map Cracking
Longitudinal Cracking
Transverse Cracks
Wheel Track Rutting

Annual Funding Sources for all
Transportation Projects
License Plate Permissive Tax (LPPT) funds - $800,000
State Gas Tax (SGT) funds - $300,000
City Capital Improvements (CI) funds - $500,000
Community Development Block Grant funds - $50,000 for ADA
ramps
Water, Sanitary, Stormwater Utility funds - $20,000 for utility
adjustments
Total - $1,670,000 for 2014
From the above, approximately $800,000 to $1,000,000 is needed annually
to provide the matching funds for the following:
OPWC-SCIP Grant / Loan funds variable $ per project
Federal funds administered by ODOT variable $ per project
The Citys match on these projects consists of design work, right-of-way
acquisition costs and a portion of the construction costs.
A Note on Federal and State Funding
Federal & State funds are available for projects on those streets generally
classified as arterials and collectors. For local and residential streets, the
City must provide its own funding for street maintenance.
We want to continue to apply and receive the Federal and State funding,
but these all require matching funds.
To keep the grant money coming, we use a large portion of the Citys
current transportation funds to provide the needed matching funds.
Leaves fewer $$ left for work on the local / residential streets that are 100%
City costs.
The proposed increase will allow us to continue accessing the Federal and
State funds for the major streets, while greatly improving the local and
residential street network.

If the Increase is Passed
City will establish a Citizens Committee to review
the expenditures of the increased funds annually,
and publically report on the uses.
City is considering budgeting an annual amount to
reconstruct or resurface alleys in older
neighborhoods.
City will increase preventative maintenance in an
effort to preserve the life of recently paved streets.
