Eagle River council narrows 2026 resurfacing, approves $112,741.83 chipseal contract
Summary
The Eagle River Common Council voted to remove one block of 1st Street from its 2026 resurfacing plan and awarded a $112,741.83 chipseal contract to Fahrner; Councilmember Kim Schaffer abstained on the chipseal vote. City staff will return June 9 with a parking-lot millings proposal.
The Eagle River Common Council voted May 26 to remove a single block of 1st Street — from Sheridan to Court Streets — from the city's 2026 resurfacing plan and to accept a chipseal bid from Fahrner for $112,741.83.
City Administrator Robin C. Ginner told the council that she will "come back to the June 9 Council meeting with a request to remove the asphalt at the parking lot on Second Street, south of Wall, and replace it with millings and chipseal." That proposal will return as a separate request for council action.
The motion to change the scope of the 2026 road project passed on a roll-call vote. The chipseal contract was approved by roll call as well; the minutes record that Councilmember Kim Schaffer abstained on the contract vote.
Why it matters: the actions set the city's paving priorities for the season and authorize a procurement that commits $112,741.83 of city funds to chipsealing work. The council did not specify additional funding sources in the meeting minutes.
Council procedure and next steps: Ginner will bring the Second Street parking-lot proposal back to the June 9 council meeting with details; the council did not take further action on that item at the special session.
No statutes, ordinances, or outside authorities were cited during the discussion in the minutes.
