Shelton council adopts 6‑year transportation plan, approves asset‑management software and EMR study
Summary
The Shelton City Council on June 16 adopted a six-year Transportation Improvement Program for 2027–2032 and approved two administrative resolutions: a CivicPlus asset-management purchase and an FCS Group equipment maintenance and replacement (EMR) study; staff said funding will rely on grants and TIP credits.
The Shelton City Council voted on June 16 to adopt the city’s six‑year Transportation Improvement Program for 2027–2032 and approved two administrative contracts to modernize asset and fleet management.
Interim public works director Brent Armstrong presented the TIP, describing a 21-project list the city will use to pursue state TIP funding and grant matches. Armstrong told the council that Olympic Highway North is in design and that construction is anticipated in summer 2027, and that the city will use transportation-impact fees to help provide local match when required.
Council read and adopted resolution 1444‑0526, “adopting the comprehensive 6‑year transportation improvement program for the city of Shelton for the years 2027–2032.” The resolution passed by voice vote; the transcript records the motion and a second and confirms the motion carried.
The council also approved resolution 1442‑0526 authorizing the city manager to purchase CivicPlus asset-management software through a sole‑source cooperative agreement with SHI Corporation. Colton Hickel told council the purchase falls within approved departmental budgets and that the tool will help staff manage city assets more efficiently.
Finally, council adopted resolution 1443‑0526, authorizing the city manager to execute a professional‑services contract with FCS Group to perform an equipment maintenance and replacement (EMR) study. Armstrong said savings from recently deferred equipment purchases made funding the study possible and that the study will update the city’s cost model for fleet and heavy equipment replacement.
All three measures were adopted by voice vote during the meeting. Council discussion noted the need to move projects into the state TIP to access grants and credits and to continue reporting on the projects’ funding and schedules.
What happens next: Public Works will track project funding and schedules for TIP items; staff will implement the CivicPlus rollout per departmental budgets and engage FCS Group to begin the EMR study.
