Summary

With the original developer defunct, council approved using restricted funds and impact fees to complete Ore Road between two previously paved sections, awarding a contract and opting for a 4‑inch asphalt overlay for greater longevity.

Council approved a budget amendment and contract award to complete the outstanding segment of Ore Road, connecting previously paved sections near Forest Grove and East Winnicoff.

Staff explained the developer responsible under an earlier development agreement is no longer operating and that the city must complete the remaining improvements. Two options were presented: a 2‑inch overlay (per the original agreement) or a more durable 4‑inch overlay. Engineers and councilors favored the 4‑inch option to align with adjacent pavement and provide longer life. Council amended the budget to transfer restricted '5 Oaks' funds and available impact fees and awarded a construction contract to Texas Materials Group, approving the 4‑inch overlay.

Council directed staff to proceed with contract execution and noted construction traffic and safety will be managed during work.
