Summary
Director Emily Fisher presented the city’s street maintenance program: 371 centerline miles maintained (73% asphalt), an average city PCI around 89, and a roadway maintenance budget that has risen to about $6.5 million this year. Council and staff discussed priorities and ways for residents to report potholes and needed repairs.
Emily Fisher, Director of Public Works, briefed the City Council April 23 on the annual street maintenance program and multi‑year plan.
Key figures in the presentation: the city maintains about 371 centerline miles of roadway (73% asphalt, 27% concrete); the citywide average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) hovers near 89; last year’s street maintenance spending was about $6.3 million and this year’s roadway maintenance fund is approximately $6.5 million. Fisher described in‑house work versus contract work (Brazos Paving for asphalt, Larry Young Paving for concrete) and explained the PCI methodology used to prioritize subareas.
Staff outlined short‑term priorities (current work in McCullough and Holloman areas), next‑year target areas (South Knoll, The Glades, Southwood) and longer‑term projects tied to CIP work where utility rehabilitation will precede paving. Fisher said the city visually inspects streets annually to compute PCIs and uses asset management software to track and schedule maintenance.
Council members thanked staff for long‑range planning and asked about reporting mechanisms for potholes and emergency repairs; staff said residents can report via the city website, email or the city’s ClickFix tool. No action was required; the item was presented for information and follow‑up.
What happens next: the street maintenance plan will be posted on the city website; staff will continue to update the council on program progress and respond to citizen requests.
