Summary
Public Works Director Ron Seave Bridal told the board Saint Nicholas Court fails city standards and requires about $150,000 in repairs (sewer trench recompaction, repaving, drainage and concrete work). Staff recommended accepting the street into the city paving program and splitting costs between street and stormwater funds.
Public Works Director Ron Seave Bridal presented Ordinance O-26-03 seeking acceptance of Saint Nicholas Court as a Class A city street. Seave Bridal said the short cul-de-sac was annexed into the city in 1969 and later rezoned; inspection shows the segment does not meet city standards and will need approximately $150,000 of repairs, including recompacting a sewer trench, repaving, drainage improvements and concrete repairs. He said there are nine houses on the 390‑foot segment.
Seave Bridal explained the street likely should have been accepted by the city following subdivision approvals in the late 1990s and noted previous utility cuts and a sinking wastewater main requiring corrected bedding. Staff recommended accepting the street into the city's paving program and funding repairs through a split of the general street fund and stormwater utility. Board members confirmed the paving component is included in the 2026 street list presented elsewhere on the agenda.
"There is approximately a $150,000 worth of repairs that need to be completed," Seave Bridal said when summarizing the inspection findings. The board had no additional questions and will consider formal action at the Jan. 20 meeting.
