Harrah Council approves Bridge Formula Program resolutions to replace two E. Reno Avenue bridges

The Harrah City Council on July 17 unanimously authorized two resolutions to pursue federal Bridge Formula Program projects to replace two city bridges on East Reno Avenue. The council approved Resolution No. 07172025CC1 to replace National Bridge Inventory (NBI) structure 14933 over a creek on E. Reno Avenue approximately 0.24 miles west of North Harrah Road, and Resolution No. 07172025CC2 to replace NBI structure 09320 over a creek on E. Reno Avenue approximately 0.07 miles west of South Luther Road. The action came under agenda item 3 as the council voted 5-0. Councilmember Tim Rudek moved to approve Resolution No. 07172025CC1; Vice Mayor Steve Scalzo seconded. For Resolution No. 07172025CC2, Scalzo moved and Councilmember Jennifer McCammond seconded; both motions passed with Mayor Paul Wiegert, McCammond, Rudek, Bill Lisby and Scalzo voting in favor. The resolutions authorize the execution of project agreements for the Bridge Formula Program; the council record does not include project funding amounts, construction timelines, or contractor selections. The motions as recorded direct city staff to execute the Project documents required for participation in the Bridge Formula Program under the resolution numbers approved. Council minutes identify the two bridges by their NBI numbers and specific locations on E. Reno Avenue but do not record further technical details discussed, such as load limits, detour plans, or estimated construction schedules. The council did not take additional legislative steps or adopt zoning or permit changes as part of these resolutions. The next administrative steps, implied by the approved resolutions, are execution of the Project documents and any subsequent funding or procurement steps handled by city staff and relevant state or federal program administrators. Mayor Paul Wiegert and council members recorded a unanimous vote to approve both resolutions.
