Greenwood council approves 2025 county paving request, will seek CTC funds in June
Summary
The Greenwood City Council voted to approve a list of city streets to submit to the Ringwood County Transportation Committee (CTC) for 2025 paving funding. Staff said allocations will be announced in June and, if awarded, the city expects to bid projects by late summer or early fall.
The Greenwood City Council voted unanimously to approve a proposed list of city streets to submit to the Ringwood County Transportation Committee for 2025 paving funding.
City staff told the council the list will be taken to the county CTC in April and that the committee typically allocates money at its June meeting; the city would receive an allocation letter and then proceed to bid any funded projects.
A city staff member summarized the multi-year backlog and how lists are developed. The staff member said an infusion of funds in 2022 and 2023 lengthened regional lists and slowed local paving schedules. They said the CTC is finishing the 2023 list, which was funded under a contract of a little more than $1,200,000, and that typical yearly allocations for Greenwood are in the $350,000–$450,000 range. The staff member added that if the city applied its 2024 bid prices to the proposed 2025 list, the total would be about $1,800,000, meaning Greenwood will likely receive partial, not full, funding and will prioritize the worst-condition streets.
The staff member described the list-development process: public works staff ride and grade roads, identify the worst streets, and a CTC representative typically rides with city staff to confirm needs. The presenter also clarified jurisdictional responsibilities: CTC money is used for city-owned roads; the state Department of Transportation pays DOT roads; the county pays county roads.
Councilmember Barnes moved to approve the proposed 2025 CTC paving list as presented by staff. Councilmember Huddle seconded. Mayor Smith called the vote; the motion passed unanimously, recorded as "7 to zip." The council did not identify individual roll-call votes in the transcript.
If Greenwood receives an allocation from the CTC in June, staff said the city could put projects out to bid by August or September and then contract with the low bidder to complete the work.
The agenda item and the vote were the only substantive discussion on paving at the meeting; no amendments or additional conditions were recorded.
