Lemoore Council approves crosswalk engineering and boosts public works engineering budget
Summary
The Lemoore City Council unanimously approved two consent calendar budget amendments June 23: engineering funding for a Freedom Drive crosswalk near an elementary school and a general increase to the public works engineering budget tied to higher private development workload.
The Lemoore City Council approved two budget amendments on the consent calendar at a June 23 special meeting, voting 3-0 with two members absent.
Council members moved and passed Item 1-1, funding the engineering phase for an upgraded crosswalk on Freedom Drive at 19th Street near the elementary school. City staff said the item covers engineering and design; most of the expense is expected to be reimbursed and the work includes raised elevations and improved crosswalk visibility for students.
Item 1-2 increased the city's general public works engineering budget to account for a rise in private development and subdivision activity. Staff explained the higher allocation reflects greater demand for engineering services from multiple new developments and is not tied to a single project.
Both items were pulled briefly for council questions before each was approved. The motions carried 3-0; two council members were recorded absent. The meeting then proceeded to the scheduled public hearing on the housing element.
