The City of At hens has budget ed an average of $902,600.00 over the last four years for the 
maintenance of streets.  The city currently has approximately 64 miles of city-maintained streets.  By 
taking the amount budgeted f or street maintenance and dividing it by the num ber of street m iles the 
City maintains ( 902,600/64), it can be reasonably concluded that the City is spending approxi mately  
$14,103.13 per mile on stree t maintenance.  If the annexation  area includes those st reets described 
above the city could expect to  spend approximately $2,679.60 (0.19@$14,103.13) per year on str eet 
maintenance.

budget of the public works department.  Items that could see increases if the annexation were to occur 
include traffi c control, stre et signage (including all applica ble city signage), sanitat ion, salaries,

Street Lighting 
At this time this study does not make a determination of the cost per installment of streetlights within 
the Portion of Parcel 047-226.00 on Velma Road Annexation Area.  However, Street lighting will be 
installed in the annexed area in accordance with the City of Athens street lighting policies at the cost 
set by AUB at the time of the installation.    
   
City School System 
Since the property does not have any population at this time and is undeveloped of any structures, the

time.
