City, county to negotiate cost‑sharing for 5th Avenue overlay and related parking work
Summary
Council heard that the county intends to reconstruct the east side of 5th Avenue, including ADA ramps and sidewalks, and council members gave staff a general blessing to continue negotiating cost‑shares and timing, with a further update expected at the next meeting.
Staff updated the council on a joint city–county effort to overlay 5th Avenue between the new courthouse and the AOC building and to make related parking‑area and sidewalk improvements. Staff said the county will fund and perform east‑side removals, ADA ramps and nearby curb and sidewalk work, and that the city could use its street maintenance capital fund for its portion of any overlay.
Council members asked whether the $82,000 estimate included the parking area; staff clarified that the $82,000 estimate covered the two streets only and did not include the parking lot. Staff said the county is discussing acquiring a school lot for parking and that the next project meeting is scheduled for the 29th; council members said they support continued negotiation and requested revised estimates at a future meeting.
