Board reviews pavement-management plan and projected 2025 contributions, asks for clearer 3A share estimates
Summary
Public works presented the city’s pavement-management projections through 2029, including planned 2025 pavement-management spending of about $4.9 million and carryover and debt-funded projects; board members requested clearer estimates of the expected 3A contribution to large, multi-source projects.
The Capital Improvement Sales Tax Board examined Littleton’s pavement-management plan through 2029 and discussed how 3A funds fit with other revenue sources such as the Highway Users Tax Fund (HUTF) and transfers tied to the fire department changeover.
Public works staff presented an overview of anticipated pavement work and associated costs through 2029. For 2025 staff cited a total pavement-management figure of about $4,900,000, of which roughly $1,300,000 was identified for mill-and-overlay work and about $2,400,000 for annual street rehabilitation. Attachment materials summarized larger out-year estimates and a combined, multi-year total figure (the staff packet showed a $29,000,000 summation across several years of projects). Staff said some major projects remain listed as “TBD” because their final cost or financing approach (including potential debt) is still under development.
Board members pressed staff to be explicit about what percentage of large projects the board should expect 3A to cover. Staff replied that for some items there are dedicated outside sources (for example, an approximate $1.7 million transfer tied to the fire department transition that was directed to pavement management and a Highway Users Tax Fund allocation near $1.6 million) and that overall the 3A contribution toward mill-and-overlay and street-rehabilitation programs is substantial but not the sole funding source. One board member summarized staff comments as roughly 50–60% of mill-and-overlay work being supported by 3A together with other funds, but staff emphasized that exact shares change year to year and depend on project-specific financing decisions.
Staff also noted several large capital projects on the board’s horizon (Bellevue Service Center, Town Hall Arts improvements and a Broadway pedestrian walkway contribution) and explained that some projects are being evaluated for debt financing and so were left as TBD in the packet. Board members asked staff to include a secondary column in future materials showing staff’s expected 3A contribution (a percentage or dollar estimate) for each large project to give the board better visibility before council consideration.
Ending: Staff said it will add clearer estimates of the expected 3A contribution to future presentations and will present the finalized memo and package to city council at the June 10 study session.
