Loading...
Summary
The committee approved forwarding a renewal intergovernmental agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation to continue City maintenance services on three State Highway segments; the fee schedule increases about 5% annually beginning with a payment of roughly $171,000 in the first renewed year.
The Transportation & Public Safety committee voted to advance a renewal intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) that authorizes the City of Aurora to provide routine maintenance on three State Highway segments.
Curt Yollner, Deputy Director of Public Works Operations, told the committee the agreement covers storm drainage, patching, sweeping, trash removal and other day‑to‑day maintenance functions but does not include major rehabilitation work. The three sections identified in the presentation are:
- State Highway 40: Colfax Avenue from Yosemite Street to Tower Road; - State Highway 30: Havana Street from Parker Road to Sixth Avenue; - State Highway 30: Sixth Avenue from Havana Street to Airport Boulevard.
Yollner said the new IGA renews the prior arrangement (previous term noted as October 2020 to September 2025) with the same scope. He told the committee CDOT increased the fee schedule by about 5% and that the first year payment under the renewed schedule would be roughly $171,000; fees would then increase approximately 5% year‑over‑year for the term of the agreement. (Transcript included an unclear expiry date for the new term; staff did not provide a clear calendar expiration in the committee discussion.)
Councilmembers expressed support for forwarding the resolution. The committee voted to move the resolution and the IGA to the next available study session.
What’s next: Staff will advance the IGA to study session for council consideration. The agreement defines routine maintenance responsibilities between the City and CDOT but excludes major rehabilitation, which remains CDOT’s responsibility according to the presentation.
