Council approves $20,500 contract for guardrail repairs
Summary
The council voted to approve a contractor-led guardrail repair package totaling $20,500. Council members said two of the repairs follow DUI crashes this summer and the town expects to seek reimbursement from those responsible.
The council voted to approve a contractor contract to repair multiple highway guardrail locations, with the total cost for the grouped projects stated as $20,500. A council member moved to approve the contract and the motion passed after an aye vote by the council.
Council member Dudley explained why the town sought exact costs for some repairs: "The Pine Butte Drive and Highway 39 and the Pine Butte Drive and Power Road repairs, there are DUIs that happened this summer... so the police and then our lawyers wanted the costs from us to get that repaired. They want to charge the people with it." Dudley said the town expects to pursue reimbursement where appropriate.
The council completed a roll call and held the vote; multiple members voted in favor and the motion carried. The council did not record an explicit breakdown of individual named votes in the transcript; the outcome recorded in the meeting was approval of the guardrail repair contract. The motion will proceed to implementation steps under the town's contracting procedures.
