A City of Jonesboro committee voted to forward to full council a resolution authorizing a supplemental agreement with Fisher Arnold for $25,870 in additional services on the University Heights Link Trail project.

Craig, a city staff member, told the committee the supplemental work includes plan adjustments to minimize negative impacts at the Fielder Road and Aggie Road intersection. "Fielder Road is a road that intersects with Aggie and the existing grade on the road is about 18% which is very steep," Craig said. He said the supplemental agreement would examine improvements to lessen that slope and bring the roadway closer to compliance with city code for new construction so trail users and drivers would not meet at an unsafe angle.

The resolution specifies that funding for the fee proposal will come from the capital improvement budget and that compensation will be paid in accordance with the supplemental agreement. The committee moved and seconded the referral to full council, members cast ballots, and the resolution was approved and forwarded for council consideration.
