part of the oversight performed by NMDOT (New Mexico
Department of Transportation). The NMDOT has instructed
all funded entities to have a current update by December
2017. Update must meet current requirements.
The City has had an ADA Transition Plan since January 2009,
with the last update of July 2011. See attached plan.
The City submitted to NMDOT a timetable in which the City
will proceed with the update. Ryan Porter, P.E., City
Engineering Department has been tasked with updating
plan. Along with Infrastructure Committee review,
Engineering Department will have a future public hearing to
allow citizen input. As one reviews the current Plan, this
will be an ongoing process due primarily to economic
factors.

The purpose of this Transition Plan is for the City of Roswell to have a plan as to how
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) issues are currently being addressed and how
they will be addressed in the future. This plan takes into account areas of new
construction and reconstruction, by the City of Roswell as well as by private contractors
doing business for the City of Roswell and as independents for themselves or other
developers.
I. Background
The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is a Federal Civil Rights
Legislation which mandates non-discrimination to persons with disabilities. The
ADA, Title II prohibits discrimination by public entities on the basis of disability.
Therefore, it is important that the City of Roswell and the community comply
with all applicable laws and regulations, including those protecting persons with
disabilities.
In order to accomplish this, the City of Roswell developed a Transition Plan by
conducting a self-evaluation of the accessibility by persons with disabilities on
City facilities; identifying issues of accessibility that need to be addressed;
upgrading its program for improvement of those facilities and comply with ADA
mandated standards. The City will progressively remove physical barriers to
accessibility when facilities cannot ensure access to persons with disabilities.
Realizing that geometric, infrastructure and structural changes will take time and
money to upgrade the existing facilities, the City’s Transition Plan includes
provisions to include specifications on all upcoming design projects, to comply
with ADA requirements.
The ADA regulations further require the Transition Plan to contain the following
elements:
A list of physical barriers in the public entity’s facilities that limit accessibility of
its programs, services, or activities to individuals with disabilities;
A detail description of the methods to be utilized to remove these barriers and
make the facilities accessible;
The Schedule for taking the necessary steps to achieve compliance with Title II;
The name of the official responsible for the plan’s implementation;
-3-
24
A schedule for providing ADA compliance pedestrian facilities, where pedestrian
walkways cross the streets.
The City of Roswell currently has standards that conform to ADA laws. These
standards and details are published under the City of Roswell’s “Public Works
Specification”, Ordinance Number 05-01, February 25, 2005.
II. ADA Program
A. Responsible Official
A Disability Program Coordinator, David M. Storey, P.E., has been designated by the
City of Roswell as the person responsible for the development and implementation of
the City of Roswell’s ADA Transition Plan.
B. Internal Review
In January of 2009, the City began developing a “Transition Plan.” The City
acknowledged the need for such a plan and the need to upgrade and implement ADA
regulations throughout the City, beyond the current practices. The Mayor developed
an ad-hoc Committee to discuss ADA and sidewalk issues. This Committee
consisted of a City Councilor, City Staff, and members of the local community. The
Committee realized what a daunting task was involved in not only identifying areas
needing improvement but also the enormous cost involved to undertake such a task.
City Staff agreed to continue looking into ways to address the “problems.”
C. Self-Evaluation
As required by ADA legislation, the City of Roswell conducted a preliminary self-
evaluation survey of all facilities within its jurisdiction. The City has approximately
three hundred (300) miles of roadway. Of that, approximately 15% or forty-five (45)
miles do not have curb and gutter, which suffices to say, there are no curb ramps or
sidewalks along these roadways. A rough estimate to build these facilities is
approximately thirty-two ($32,000,000) million dollars.
Up until the early 1970’s, sidewalks were not “required” as part of residential
development. Therefore, approximately 40-50% of the existing roads with curb and
gutter, do not have curb ramps or sidewalks. Although, the cost would be enormous,
The cost estimate to build sidewalks and ADA drive pads has not been estimated.
The City identified approximately 1,520 intersection located within the City Limits.
Multiplying by four (4) gives a rough estimate of 6,072 corners needing curb ramps
and other facilities. Reducing this number for “T” intersections as well as new
subdivisions and other recent improvements, a viable number of “corners” needing
improvements is estimated at five (5,000) thousand. This number will be accurately
-4-
25
identified with the final survey and plan. Based on recent projects, the cost to rebuild
one (1) corner is approximately ten-thousand ($10,000) dollars. Obviously, each
corner would be different. This results in a preliminary estimate to rebuild five
thousand (5,000) corners at a cost of fifty million ($50,000,000) dollars.
As part of this transition plan, the City has begun working on identifying all
intersection corners, their status, and the improvements required for ADA
accessibility. The City assumes this will take quite some time as the City’s
Engineering Dept. will be responsible for this work, as well as their normal job
requirements.
The City has eight (8) signalized intersections within the City’s jurisdiction. The
remaining signalized intersections within the City Limits are along State Highways.
Six (6) of these “City” intersections have been recently updated with new software
and hardware. All signalized intersections will be surveyed with recommendations to
correct any deficiencies.
III. Transition Plan
A. Prioritization
The City of Roswell has the responsibility of identifying barriers and implementing a
corrective program. During the 2009 “Committee” meetings, it was determined to
begin modifications and improvements to the corners located within the C-3 Central
Business District. This C-3 District is downtown. Those intersections and
corresponding corners were identified and prioritized by the City Engineer.
The City of Roswell has limited funding options and opted to apply to the NMDOT
for funding assistance with the Cooperative Agreement funding. (See section X on
Recent and/or Pending Projects)
The City has set up the following prioritization criteria as follows,
1) “High” priority areas will include downtown areas which tend to have the highest
pedestrian population as well as vehicle counts. The downtown area includes the
City’s Library, City Hall, U.S. Post Office, Federal Building as well as other
government buildings. Additionally, areas of assisted living, housing for the
disabled, routes to transit stops, disability routes, etc. will be considered in this
category. Citizen requests and/or complaints will also be included.
2) “Medium” priority areas will include commercial and public areas, including
schools, parks, and areas of public gatherings.
3) “Low” priority areas include transitioning outward from the downtown area to
include residential and other areas. Group homes, retirement facilities, etc. will
also be considered. The majority of these types of facilities are located within
residential neighborhoods.
-5-
26
Where structural modifications are necessary to achieve program accessibility – as in
the addition of curb ramps – the DOJ regulation requires State and local governments
that employ 50 or more staff members to develop a transition plan that provides for
the removal of the barriers at issue. With respect to pedestrian facilities, the DOJ
regulation imposes a specific construction requirement. This requirement directs
each jurisdiction to include in its transition plan a schedule for providing curb ramps
where pedestrian walkways cross curbs and specifies a priority for locating them at:
State and local government offices and facilities;
Transportation;
places of public accommodation (private sector facilities covered by title III);
places of employment; and
other locations (for instance, along routes used by residents with disabilities).
B. Facility Classification
Access to and utilization of the City facilities by individuals with disabilities is
frequently compromised by barriers described below. Barrier descriptions are not
necessarily complete, but they represent the type of barriers identified by the City
during our site survey.
In general, the City’s roadway provides traveling routes in which local and the
traveling public visit public buildings and other services. Sidewalks are the
pedestrian travel way, and are frequently obstructed by protruding barriers.
Therefore, pedestrian destination from transportation facilities is
interrupted, and sometimes it is not accessible. Handicap ramps are absent or do
not meet the current requirements. The following facility classification was
notorious during the City’s preliminary field survey,
1. Public parking facilities and street parking lack accessible areas where a
disabled person can merge into and out of the pedestrian facilities. Signage
is missing or non-existing.
2. Stairs and handrails do not meet the shape and height requirements. Visual
warnings are not provided at tread nosing.
3. Fire hydrants, utility poles, street signs, landscaping, and other
obstructions are often located within the sidewalk boundaries make these
facilities noncompliant.
4. Wide streets were also constructed in some areas of the city. These wide
streets are typically Collector and Arterial roadways. Street Median
Refuge and/or Pedestrian Crossing Refuge Islands are sporadic and may
be required; this may be determined as deemed necessary in the future. As
per the Americans with Disabilities Act Title II Guidelines for transition
plans, section 2.3.1.

D. Targeted Barrier Removal Projects
Upon funding availability, the City of Roswell will implement a barrier removal
program within the City’s jurisdiction. Cooperative Agreement projects with the
NMDOT will continue to be pursued. In addition, new residential and
commercial development will be required to further enhance pedestrian facilities
as development occurs. (See Section IX)
The City of Roswell’s ADA Coordinator in coordination with City’s Engineering and
Planning and Zoning Departments is responsible for the City’s Transition Plan within the
City of Roswell Right-of-Way. Most of the problems within the Right-of-Way concern
physical barriers that cannot be addressed through other options such as Policy Changes
or alternative methods. Therefore, the Public Right-of-Way can only be made accessible
via a realistic and fundable strategy for Curb and Gutter Modifications, Wheelchair Ramp
construction and some sidewalk modifications.
IV. Strategy
The following strategy is recommended to assist the City in meeting ADA
requirements,
A. Handicap Ramps
The City contracts for upgrading of existing ramps as funding is available. This is
typically done with a Contract Bidding Process, and the City’s Annual Maintenance
Contract, relying on negotiated Price Agreement Projects. ( See sections IX and X)
-7-
28
B. Local Governments
The City of Roswell works with the NMDOT on all Cooperative Agreement projects
to assure compliance with all ADA requirements.
C. Utilities
Whenever a utility relocation, construction or alteration occurs within the Public
Right-of-Way, the City will ensure that ADA requirements are implemented.
D. Transit
Transit Stops are regulated by the City and steps and remediations will be identified
and to ensure that the public stops are accessible.
V. Funding
The City will strategically commit, upon fund availability, funding for City
maintenance projects from its annual budget, towards ADA compliance projects.
In addition, developer impacts on the Public’s Right-of-Way will be required to
further enhance pedestrian facilities. To date, it is unknown the amount of money
that the City has invested into ADA Compliance.
VI. City Jurisdiction
The City of Roswell is independent and has it’s own budget. The City Engineer, under
the direction of the City Council, will determine the financial considerations and will be
subject to ADA regulations.
VII. Jurisdictional Areas:
The City of Roswell is responsible for the areas within the City Proper with the following
exceptions:
1) West Second Street – US 70-380.
2) East Second Street – US 380.
3) South Main Street – FL 4685 (US 285)
4) South East Main Street – FL 4685 (US 285)
5) North Main Street – FL 4685 (US 70-285)
These roadways are located within the State’s Right-Of-Way and under the jurisdiction of
the New Mexico Department of Transportation.
VIII. Existing Codes and Ordinances
The following are existing City Codes and Ordinances that address sidewalk and ADA
issues.
Roswell City Code, 1999 Edition and as modified with the July 2000 supplement.
Chapter 22 – Streets and Sidewalks. More specifically;
-8-
29
1) Section 22-1 (b). “The City reserves the right to remove from a street,
sidewalk or right of way any object that obstructs the free flow of pedestrian
or vehicular traffic thereon. This includes but is not limited to obstructions
impairing the line of sight, trees, signs, walls, shrubs and vehicles.”
2) Section 22-15. Applicability to sidewalks.
“Sidewalks on public property shall be governed by the provisions of this
article. Sidewalks on private property shall be subject to the Uniform
Building Code as adopted by the city. The foregoing not withstanding,
construction of sidewalks having a value, including the cost of materials and
labor, of four hundred dollars ($400.00) or less are expressly exempted from
the bond and permit requirement of this article.
Maintenance of all sidewalks shall be the responsibility of the person
owning property which abuts such sidewalks; the city shall not be
responsible for such maintenance.”
City of Roswell, Subdivision Ordinance, August 1, 1999.
Article 5: General Provisions, Section 7. Sidewalks
A. Required Improvements:
1. Sidewalks shall be included with the dedicated non-pavement right-of-way
of all streets, and shall be installed prior to occupancy of the lot of which
the sidewalk serves.
2. Concrete sidewalks shall be placed either flush with the curb or at the
property line in accordance with the City of Roswell Public Works
Specifications.
3. In dedicated pedestrian access ways, sidewalks shall be constructed in
order to facilitate pedestrian access from the road to schools, parks,
playgrounds, or other nearby roads. Such sidewalks shall be constructed
by the developer at the time of street construction.
City of Roswell, Public Works Specifications. Ordinance Number 05-01,
February 25, 2005.
Article IV: Standard Specifications for Sidewalk, Fillet and Drivepad Construction,
Section 2. Polices Regarding Sidewalk and Drivepad Construction.
1. General
“This section shall deal with the placement, replacement and/or removal
of sidewalks, fillets, and drivepads within the public rights of way of the
City of Roswell. Subgrade preparation, placement of sidewalk, fillets and
drivepads, location of sidewalks, fillets, and drivepads, and grades for
sidewalks, fillets and drivepads shall be as defined below. Compliance
with Article I – Polices and Specifications of these specifications is
mandatory. All construction shall meet American Disabilities Act (ADA)
requirements.”
-9-
30
The remaining portions of Article IV deals with sidewalk locations, widths,
thicknesses, grades, obstructions and typical details of construction. Copies of the
Public Works Specifications are available in the City’s Planning and Zoning
Department and Engineering Department. Copies are available at 415 N.
Richardson Avenue.
IX. Existing Policies and Practices:
New Roadway Construction: All new construction and reconstruction dealing with
streets and roadways are rebuilt to ADA standards. This includes sidewalks, drivepads,
and accessibility ramps. In addition, if a signalized intersection is upgraded, new
pedestrian push-buttons and pedestrian count down assemblies are installed. These
changes are incorporated into the plans and specifications for each project. (See Recent
and/or Pending Projects section)
New Residential and Commercial Construction: The City requires the developer of any
new commercial development to build sidewalks, drivepads, etc. to meet or exceed our
ADA standards. These improvements are required as part of the design plans submitted
to obtain a Building Permit. The City’s Building Inspector oversees this work.
The City requires the developer of new residential subdivisions to install sidewalks along
“side lots” abutting Major Collectors and Minor Arterial streets. The individual lot
owner is responsible for the sidewalk in the front of the house on all streets and along the
side of the lot on residential streets. The City’s Building Inspector and Engineering Dept.
oversee this work.
Maintenance Practices: If during the course of water main, sewer main or other
maintenance requires the removal of sidewalks, fillets, etc., these areas are rebuilt to meet
ADA standards.
Citizen Participation: If a property owner installs or repairs their abutting sidewalk on a
corner lot, the City will pay for and rebuild the sidewalks, ramps, and fillets on the street
approach as needed to meet ADA standards.
Sidewalk Grinding Program: In January 2011, the City began a sidewalk “grinding”
program to grind down any sidewalks with a raised section. The work began adjacent to
all City owned facilities and will expand outward thru the downtown commercial district
and eventually thru residential areas.

ACTION REQUESTED: Discussion of RIAC Water Tower Tank Replacement
BACKGROUND: The Roswell Industrial Air Center (RIAC) water tower tank
was built in 1943, (pre UFO Crash). An inspection report
presented in October 2016 indicates it’s time to program
replacement. This is no surprise due to age. Additionally
the Water System Master Plan Report of October 2012
recommended a 2 million gallon reservoir capacity needed
for RIAC.
City Engineering & Public Works are proposing 2 – 1 million
gallon reservoirs be built at RIAC. This would provide
needed reservoir capacity and also redundancy protection
if one fails. The geometry proposed is also the slimmer
taller ground reservoirs versus elevated tanks or the shorter
round reservoirs. This would also assist with the transition
of communications use by current water tower.
Estimated cost is $4 to 5 million dollars for 2 reservoirs and
connection to existing water system. City Engineer has
already initiated an application for an EPA Drinking Water
Revolving Loan and striving for 75% forgiveness on a $4
million loan. Design will proceed through procurement of
consultant in the near future.

ACTION REQUESTED: Discussion McGaffey Ave – Mill and Fill Project
BACKGROUND: The City of Roswell has over 330 miles of streets. As one
drives around town the need for pavement repair is quite
apparent. One section of pavement in dire need of
maintenance is W. McGaffey Ave. from Union Ave. to
Richardson Ave. Not only does it have local traffic but is
part of the designated truck route. This section is
approximately 3360 feet long.
The Streets Department has a very limited budget, and has
experienced drastic budget cuts the past 2 years. This is a
recommendation to take the last monies of FY 2017 budget
for road repair and slurry seals; and cold mill 3” off
McGaffey and fill with 3” of new pavement. There would
be no spring slurry seal program this year. Estimated cost
is $500K. Engineering is going to bid this work out with a
start date in May. This will provide some buffer of time to
assure no other severe roadway repair needs are needed
prior to end of fiscal year.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: Project would be funded by concentrating all overlay and
road repair monies from FY 2017 Road fund into this 1
section of roadway.
LEGAL REVIEW: None at this time.
BOARD OR Update and discussion for Infrastructure Committee.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
STAFF Continue with project with due diligence.
RECOMMENDATION:

ACTION REQUESTED: Discussion Del Norte Park to RISD.
BACKGROUND: Roswell Independent School District (RISD) has requested
Del Norte Park be transacted over to RISD to allow
construction of a new Del Norte School.
The site is approximately 4 acres. City staff recommends
transaction over to RISD, if RISD allows public use of the
playground, a backstop, playground equipment etc. when
school is not in session.
The benefit to the City would be less maintenance of a park,
as RISD would be maintaining school grounds.
RISD would prepare agreement for review by City, and
absorb all legal and transfer costs.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: None at this time
LEGAL REVIEW: None at this time.
BOARD OR Update and discussion for Infrastructure Committee.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
STAFF Continue with park transfer development for review by
RECOMMENDATION: City Council, Attorney and Staff.
