Mayor Cal Sheehy and city staff provided an on-site update about resurfacing work on Jamaica Boulevard in Lake Havasu City. The project uses a mill-and-fill method that city staff say cuts costs and prepares a better base for new asphalt.

"We bring in a rotor miller," said Billy, a staff member who described the technique. "It's about $7 to $14 cheaper a square yard." He said the machine grinds down the asphalt "approximately 2 and a half to 3 inches depending on what we wanna put back," and crews typically repave about a half inch above the milled surface.

The city is using a pavement condition index to prioritize repairs. Mayor Cal Sheehy said the PCI guides decisions about which streets to fix. Billy said inspectors look for "cracks, bumps, shoves, weathering, and...patches," and that Jamaica Boulevard in particular had many patches and service-line cuts that created a rough ride.

Billy said the resurfacing stretch runs "from Saddleback Drive down to Pena, which is the last street on Lake Havasu Avenue." Sheehy called the work "a great, improvement project" and said the city plans more investments in roads and infrastructure.

No formal vote or decision was reported in the update; the segment was presented as an informational progress report on the pavement work and the city's approach to maintaining roadways.
