Council reviews Phase I spending, delays Phase II engineering and authorizes 2025 street project
Summary
Finance Officer Trudy Waterman presented a Phase I expenditures spreadsheet; Mayor Al Cerny said Phase II engineering should wait until Phase I is underway because Phase II funding will be more difficult. The council authorized the 2025 Street Project, moving the project into implementation planning.
Finance Officer Trudy Waterman presented a District III spreadsheet showing Phase I cost‑to‑date with expenditures categorized as grant or loan funded. Council discussion focused on sequencing and funding: Mayor Al Cerny said he wants to delay requesting Phase II engineering until Phase I is substantially underway and noted that finding funding for Phase II will be more challenging.
On a separate motion, the council authorized staff to proceed with the 2025 Street Project. Laura Petersen moved to start the 2025 Street Project and Alex Hamilton seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The authorization advances engineering and procurement planning for local streets under the city's capital projects schedule.
Council assigned Public Works to return with cost estimates when required; the minutes do not record specific dollar amounts for the 2025 Street Project authorization beyond the Phase I spreadsheet presentation.
