Council approves resurfacing of Guy Avenue, debates ARPA use for water projects
Summary
Council voted to resurface Guy Avenue, directing staff to obligate ARPA funds for that project while continuing work on pump station diagnostics; members debated whether ARPA should instead be applied to the Upper East End pump station.
Council reviewed a slate of candidate paving projects and discussed which streets are town‑owned and which contain private utility work (notably Habitat for Humanity infrastructure under East California). Staff supplied approximate cost ranges and noted that projects over $100,000 would require sealed bidding. Members weighed using remaining ARPA funds for paving versus water/sewer mitigation and debated financing and fund-balance options.
A council member moved to proceed with resurfacing Guy Avenue and the motion carried after a second. The manager noted cost ranges for Guy Avenue of roughly $40,000–$45,000 and that ARPA funds must be obligated by the town’s deadlines; council directed staff to obligate ARPA funds for Guy Avenue at this time and to return with more detailed cost and procurement timelines for both paving and pump station options.
