Council approves $2M 2026 street program contract and appropriates $1.6M from state MFT fund
Summary
The council approved a $2 million contract for the 2026 street program (Resolution 2026‑069‑R) and adopted a resolution to appropriate $1.6 million from the state Motor Fuel Tax fund to support the work (Resolution 2026‑070‑R); members said safety-related follow-up discussions will continue.
Council approved a large street‑improvement contract for the 2026 street program and voted to appropriate $1.6 million from the State Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) fund to help pay for the work.
Councilors noted the contract and funding had been discussed at length at a prior Committee of the Whole meeting; staff emphasized the project’s scale and the need for careful oversight. One member said a follow-up discussion on safety concerns raised previously would occur, but that the contract itself needed to move forward.
Both resolutions — the contract authorization (Resolution 2026‑069‑R) and the MFT appropriation (Resolution 2026‑070‑R) — passed by roll call with 12 ayes and two members absent.
