Pleasantville council approves up to $93,000 for pond road seal coat and overlay
Summary
The Pleasantville City Council approved up to $93,000 for a seal coat and 1.5-inch asphalt overlay on the road around the pond, with staff noting available Road Use Tax funds and that pea gravel would not hold up on the low section of road.
Pleasantville’s City Council voted May 19 to authorize up to $93,000 for a seal coat and 1.5-inch asphalt overlay on the road around the city pond.
Public Works Director Shawn Breazeale said the quoted work covers an asphalt overlay configured to address a dip on the north side of the pond and that pea gravel would not be durable for the affected section. Councilmember Aaron Hurt sought clarification whether pea gravel had been intended; Breazeale replied the quote is specifically for asphalt overlay and that crews plan to remove some of the surface where needed to level short sections.
City Clerk/Admin Rachel Reed told the council the project is a budgeted line item rather than an interfund transfer and noted the city currently has about $95,000 in the budget that will not be used this fiscal year because the work cannot take place until after July 1. Reed said the new budget allocates $100,000 for the project and that the Road Use Tax fund’s cash balance sits at approximately $657,000. Councilmember Jordan Van Ness asked whether the quoted work includes the entrance area where gravel washes out; Breazeale said that area will be deferred to a future budget.
Van Ness moved to approve spending up to $93,000 for the seal coat and overlay; Councilmember Aaron Hurt seconded. All council members voted in favor and the motion carried.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the work scope described to the council and schedule construction timing after July 1 when crews and contracts can be arranged.
