Minden officials push Shepherd Street to top of street repair list, ask council to pick district priorities
Summary
Chair asked council members to select one of two candidate streets in their districts for inclusion in a consolidated streets packet; Shepherd Street and Industrial Drive were highlighted as immediate priorities to address long‑standing drainage and surface problems.
The chair urged the council to prioritize street repairs and told members staff compiled a proposed packet that would group multiple projects to reduce costs. He said Tyler and Terry Combs prepared a proposed list and asked each member to select one of two candidate roads in their district so staff can pursue combined funding and scheduling.
"I would like for us to move on this Shepherd Street," the chair said, noting Shepherd runs from East Union to Highway 80 and that repairing it and Industrial Drive would remove two major headaches for residents. He asked council members to respond in the coming weeks so staff can assemble a packet that is cheaper to execute when done together.
The chair acknowledged funding constraints and suggested staff would work with Tyler and Terry Combs to explore available funds and how far the city can get. No formal vote was recorded in the transcript; council action was requested for the next month.
