City approves interlocal agreement with Johnson County to share Hospital Road paving costs
Summary
Franklin City approved Resolution 25-13 to allocate Hospital Road paving costs. Total project cost reported at $77,073.88, with the city's share $24,663.64 and the county paying $52,410.24; the project is complete and funds were previously budgeted.
Franklin City Council on Nov. 17 approved Resolution 25-13, an interlocal agreement with Johnson County to allocate costs for the Hospital Road paving project.
The mayor explained the county led the project and that the work has been completed. The total project cost reported to the council was $77,073.88; the city's share is $24,663.64 and the county's share $52,410.24. The mayor said the city's portion was already included in the 2025 budget and will be paid from the Board of Works 400 series account.
The mayor described the coordination benefit of combining adjacent jurisdiction work to avoid duplicate mobilization and costs: "From a taxpayer standpoint, it makes a whole heck of a lot more sense to do it all when you have the whole paving crew out there, rather than have 2 separate projects," the mayor said, and noted the county engineers coordinated with the city's engineers. The mayor added the project met state accounting requirements and that the Board of Works also passed a resolution authorizing the interlocal agreement.
A council member moved to approve the resolution, the motion was seconded, and the council approved it by voice vote. After the meeting council members signed the interlocal resolution so it could be executed.
Next steps: city staff will finalize the interlocal agreement paperwork and record the city's share from the approved 2025 budget appropriation.
