Belleville council approves $623,100 local match for North Douglas Avenue and several street and contract actions
Summary
Council approved a commitment of local funds (up to $623,100) for the North Douglas Avenue improvement project, renewed a contract with Electrico Inc., approved additional funding for the Kilmart Woods Drive project, and authorized disposal of two Public Works mowers.
The Belleville City Council on March 2 approved several motions affecting street projects and public‑works purchases, including a commitment of local funds not to exceed $623,100 as a local match for North Douglas Avenue improvements and related CDBG funding.
Alderperson Randall moved the set of Streets and Grades items that included: a commitment of local funds (not to exceed $623,100) for the North Douglas Avenue project; renewal of contract 26‑0000‑2‑GM with Electrico Inc. (unit prices for fiscal year 2026–2027; transcript shows amounts with formatting irregularities); additional funding for the Kilmart Woods Drive project in the amount of $19,212.10 from motor fuel tax funds; and authorization to sell or auction two Public Works zero‑turn mowers (2011 and 2007 models with serial numbers transcribed). The motions were moved, seconded and carried on roll call.
Why it matters: The local commitment enables a federal or state Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project to proceed and advances several street and maintenance items that affect city infrastructure.
Next steps: Staff will proceed with contract renewal procedures, project agreements and scheduling for the North Douglas Avenue improvements and associated planning and procurement steps.
