Public works superintendent briefs committee on River Road, Serny Park and 2025 road program
Summary
Superintendent Jamie Clark updated the committee on recent capital maintenance projects: River Road curb and gutter is complete and mostly county‑funded, Serny Park Phase 1 is largely finished with punch‑list items remaining, and the Sanchez Drive 2025 road program is nearing paving and expected to finish under budget.
Superintendent Jamie Clark briefed the committee Oct. 13 on capital maintenance and replacement plan projects including River Road, Serny Park Phase 1 and the 2025 road program.
Clark said River Road work included installation of approximately 1,500 feet of 12‑inch storm sewer, 30 catch basins, about 4,000 feet of contractor‑installed curb, and contractor landscaping. He said the project finished recently with recessed striping reflectors installed and that the budget will be near what was approved. Clark said the work was paid from the capital maintenance and replacement plan (CMRP) and that county funds were received; he cited a $407,000 contract and indicated city crew storm‑sewer work cost roughly $50,000–$60,000.
On Serny Park Phase 1, Clark said playground surfacing, pavilion improvements, pickleball courts and other major elements are in place; remaining punch‑list items include painting, concrete and asphalt. Clark said an undercutting pay item for the pickleball courts was not needed and that city crews replaced and relocated park streetlights and completed conduit work.
Clark also reviewed the 2025 road program work on Sanchez Drive and adjacent courts — curbs, patching and sidewalks are installed and paving was scheduled for the coming weekend. He said the project should finish this week and come in under budget.
Committee members praised the visible results and asked questions about watering, ongoing maintenance and whether the city should consider purchasing watering equipment; Clark said staffing and equipment needs would require further evaluation.
