Town manager reports $349,282 in street projects and lists state bills affecting municipalities
Summary
Town manager Gan Deornic updated council on trailhead work, utilities for a new public works and police facility, and four street projects totaling $349,282; he also reviewed multiple state bills and reminded council of the FY2026 grant deadline May 29.
Town manager Gan Deornic told the Georgetown Town Council the Parson Lane trailhead blacktop is complete, erosion control was installed and additional work remains. He said pipe stakeout at the public works and police facility is complete and that utilities will be installed in the order of sewer, then storm water, then water; column locations for the new facility are being set this week.
Deornic listed four street projects with a reported total of $349,282 to be funded through the municipal street aid account. The items named were: East North Street (north Road Avenue to Kimmy Street), Clover Drive (South Bedford Street to Meto Run), East Laurel Street (North Ray Street to Leighton Avenue), and Lee Avenue (West North Street to Alfred Street). Some line-item amounts in the spoken record contain transcription errors; the total allocation was reported as $349,282.
He also noted completed street-light installation by Delmarva Power at the circle and a sidewalk-art project tied to America 250 recognition. Deornic reminded council the fiscal-year 2026 grant application deadline is Friday, May 29 at 4:30 p.m., and listed several upcoming committee meetings and association events.
Deornic reviewed recent state legislative activity affecting municipalities, naming numerous House and Senate bills (for example, House Bill 294 on parking for pregnant persons at state-owned buildings, House Bill 416 on realty transfer tax adjustments, and Senate Bill 310 on a disaster recovery fund) and reporting the committee status for each as given in his presentation.
Council asked whether the listed street projects were the result of competitive bids; Deornic said letter bids were received under state purchasing guidelines and that he would confirm whether the same contractor would perform multiple projects.
The council did not vote on project awards at the meeting; the manager’s report supplied project status, funding source and legislative updates for council review.
