Fourth District Commissioner Carolyn McNary seconded the motion moved by At-Large Commissioner Lucas Allen; the motion carried unanimously.
Micro-surface and crack filling: Commissioners authorized a $596,000 purchase order to Pavement Maintenance Systems, using $150,000 from local streets fund balance, a $124,000 transfer from major streets to local streets, and $15,500 from major streets fund balance for the major-street portion. First District Commissioner Pat Dane seconded At-Large Commissioner Torrey Brown’s motion, which passed unanimously.
DPS parking lot replacement: The commission approved a purchase order of $89,995.60 to Lakeland Asphalt for the DPS Parking Lot Replacement Phase 3. The motion, moved by At-Large Commissioner Lucas Allen and seconded by Second District Commissioner Steven Haigh, passed 6-1, with Lucas Allen recorded as the sole opposing vote on the tally recorded in the minutes.

The motion was moved by First District Commissioner Pat Dane, seconded by Second District Commissioner Steven Haigh, and carried unanimously.
The commission also adopted resolutions accepting changes to the Act 51 street system, a procedural acceptance that affects which streets are eligible for certain state transportation funds. Commissioners did not add conditions or amendments to the contracts during the meeting.
What comes next: Engineering and procurement departments will finalize contracts and scopes; construction timelines were not specified in the meeting minutes and will be set in subsequent staff-level actions.
