Council approves $32,859 in patching and seal coating for priority streets, slightly over budget
Summary
The council approved a street maintenance contract of $32,859 for patching, crack filling and seal coating at several priority locations (Recreation Drive, dog‑park parking, basketball court, Highland Park and a small parking lot), roughly $900 above the line‑item budget of $32,448. The street committee recommended proceeding to extend pavement life.
Public works staff presented two required quotes for patching, crack filling and seal coating across priority locations, explaining the work can extend pavement life by five to 10 years. The recommended low quote totaled $32,859 against a budget line of $32,448 (about $900 over budget). The street committee recommended proceeding and the council approved a resolution to award the work and fund the modest overrun.
Staff identified priority sites including Recreation Drive, the dog‑park parking area, a basketball court, Highland Park road surfaces and a small parking lot near the old telephone office. Council members emphasized preventive maintenance to preserve pavement and reduce larger future replacement costs.
