Atlanta council approves $25,006.35 sidewalk repair, agrees to reappropriate funds
Summary
The council approved a $25,006.35 sidewalk replacement quote for a stretch of Walnut Street, agreed to use remaining sidewalk and general-fund carryover funds, and instructed staff to process a modest reappropriation to cover the remainder.
The Town of Atlanta approved a contractor quote of $25,006.35 to replace sidewalks on a block of Walnut Street and adjacent alley details, with an ADA-compliant thicker section through the alley. The council voted to proceed and directed staff to use remaining sidewalk-line funds and to prepare an additional appropriation for the remainder.
Staff reported the sidewalk fund balance at $5,800 and identified an additional $9,927.50 available within other services and charges; another general fund line contained $6,128.26 that could be used. Council members said using carryover and reappropriating roughly $6,000 would cover the project's cost and directed staff to complete the paperwork required for a DLGF appropriation if necessary.
A council member who moved approval noted the contractor has previously performed work for the town and suggested additional review of trees along the route to avoid damage to new concrete. The motion to accept the quote and proceed with funding adjustments was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote. Council asked staff to secure a formal written quote and to return any required appropriation paperwork to the board for final action.
Next steps: staff will secure a binding written contract from the contractor, process the appropriation paperwork, and schedule work.
