Stonecrest council approves 2026 street‑resurfacing resolution; engineer says contract ready to start

The Stonecrest City Council on April 27 approved a resolution authorizing execution of the 2026 Street Resurfacing Project contract with DCBC LLC and voted to move forward with contract implementation.

City Engineer Harry told the council the contract had already been signed by the mayor on April 3 and staff would send a notice to proceed; he estimated crews would mobilize in about 10 days. The project list and street names are posted on the city engineer's page on the city website, he said.

The resolution read into the record included an authorization language for an amount "not to exceed" as shown in the meeting materials. Council members moved and seconded the resolution, and the council recorded the vote as 5–0 in favor.

Why it matters: resurfacing is a routine but visible public‑works investment that affects traffic, road safety and local budgets. City staff said certain streets are slated and the website lists the scope; the engineer indicated the contract and procurement steps are complete and the work is imminent.

What the council said: Councilman George Turner asked when work would begin; Harry said the contractor would begin survey and mobilization within about 10 days. Mayor Pro Tem provided general updates on related infrastructure priorities and staff coordination.

Next steps: staff will issue the notice to proceed and begin construction staging; the council did not detail a construction phasing schedule in the open meeting.

Quote: "We have the contract already signed by the mayor, and then, it has been ready since April 3," City Engineer Harry said. "Most likely 10 [days]."

Vote: The council approved the resolution by recorded vote, 5–0.

Note on the record: in the meeting transcript the resolution amount was read with a numeric string that appears anomalous in formatting; article reports the council action and engineer's timeline as stated in the meeting.
