Graham council OKs $15,000 supplemental for police station parking‑lot repairs
Summary
Council approved a $15,000 supplemental appropriation to repair the Burnham Police Station parking lot, with staff noting larger work will total about $30,000 and be funded by a mix of a seizures account and general fund reserves.
The Graham City Council approved a supplemental appropriation request of $15,000 to address safety issues in the Burnham Police Station parking lot.
Chief Bullock described pavement cracking, weeds, and at least one sizable pothole that have emerged over years without major maintenance. Staff said the total repair is estimated at about $30,000; Chief Bullock proposed using $15,000 from a special seizures account (eligible for facility maintenance) and authorizing the finance director to transfer $15,000 from general fund reserves to match that amount.
Council discussed procurement thresholds and whether competitive quotes or formal bids would be required; staff said the work is under the $50,000 threshold, so quotes will be sought rather than a formal sealed bid. Council approved the request on a voice vote (motion by Grant; second by Jeff).
Staff indicated they will coordinate with the contractor the city typically uses and proceed with needed repairs; a specific contractor and timeline were not recorded in the meeting transcript.
