Council discusses crack sealing, paving priorities and estimated costs for 2026
Summary
Council members discussed adding crack-filling money to the budget, suggested a $20,000 appropriation, and noted typical contractor cost around $2 per linear foot; they discussed options to buy a pallet of material that could include machine rental.
Council members identified street maintenance as a budget priority and discussed funding for crack filling and early-season paving.
Members said they have discussed putting $20,000 in the budget for crack filling and that typical contractor pricing is about $2 per linear foot. One council member said buying a pallet of materials (sufficient for roughly 2,000 linear feet) could include use of the laying machine, but would still require labor; contracting the work out remains an option priced per linear foot.
Council discussed coordinating with the street department, reviewing recent paving records for the last several years to prioritize work, and ensuring funds target streets that have not recently been paved. No formal appropriation was made in the committee discussion recorded in the transcript.
