§ 14.31.055. Road service area match program.

A.

There is established pursuant to KPB 5.20.170 a borough match program for RIAD projects that upgrade existing roads. The RSA board may authorize up to 50 percent of the costs of a RIAD be defrayed from this fund for any project that upgrades existing roads subject to the assembly's annual appropriation to that fund.

B.

A borough match may be considered for the following types of RIAD projects:

1.

Pavement projects for existing roads which have been certified for borough maintenance;

2.

Pavement or gravel projects for existing roads, which do not meet borough standards in order that the road will be brought to borough standards; and

3.

Pavement or gravel projects for existing substandard gravel roads, which have been certified for borough maintenance in order that the road will be brought to borough standards.

C.

The annual deadline application for the match program is July 1 of each year, and must be submitted with the application to form a proposed district.

D.

The RSA board shall consider the following factors in evaluating applications for the match program:

1.

Whether it is economically feasible to improve the road to RSA certification standards;

2.

To what extent do the assessed values of properties support the scope of work for each project;

3.

The number of applications for projects received that year;

4.

The funds available in the Road Improvement Assessment District Match Fund;

5.

Whether an application for district formation has been previously filed and whether conditions have changed to make the project more feasible than in past application years;

6.

The number of residents served;

7.

The number of parcels served;

8.

The feasibility of the project's compliance with KPB 14.31.080 criteria regarding restrictions on formation; and

9.

Whether there is alternate access to properties served by the road and the condition of that alternate access.

E.

The road service area board may adopt procedures by board resolution for implementation of this program consistent with this chapter.
