Crockett council allocates $425,000 for new street construction, sets aside maintenance funds
Summary
Council reviewed street-budget numbers and directed staff to allocate approximately $425,000 for new road construction and roughly $116,000 for maintenance; members agreed to use public-works prioritization and to divide seed funds across precincts.
City public-works staff told the council the current streets budget leaves about $425,000 for new construction and roughly $116,006 to cover maintenance. Staff urged preserving maintenance funds so newly built streets are not neglected and presented the option of dividing the new-construction allocation equally across the city’s five precincts.
Council members asked for clarity about prior grant-funded projects versus the current budget and emphasized prioritization based on surface area and need rather than mileage alone. Staff said they would return with figures to support precinct-level prioritization and recommended that council rely on public-works assessments when distributing the funds.
The council moved to allocate the available new-construction funds with direction to follow the public-works prioritization process; members discussed using a portion of seed funds for precinct-specific needs and possible reallocation of leftover funds between precincts.
