Mayor Rickord and Matt Schultz, Street/Sanitation Department superintendent, introduced the council to Vialytics, a third-party street-assessment platform the city has been exploring.
Schultz described the system’s capabilities, saying, "It is amazing what the software can catch regarding street issues," and noted the program can detect defects including manholes that are too high or too low. The council was told a vendor incentive could waive $4,750 if the city signs before the end of the year; the 2026 annual subscription fee was presented as $14,560. Mayor Rickord and Schultz said they will meet with company representatives and return to the council in January with additional specifics and a procurement recommendation.
Council members did not take formal action on procurement at the Dec. 16 meeting; staff will bring detailed pricing, contract terms and implementation implications to a future meeting.
