Council hears roads update; seeks county help for potholes and plans design timeline for larger streets project
Summary
Public-works staff reported road work is scheduled to start next month and discussed using milled material at the park if available. The council said it will request county pothole work before the fiscal-year end and noted a larger joint-highway-funded streets project is slated for design (October 2027) and construction (October 2028).
Public-works and roads updates at the May 7 meeting covered an upcoming milling and chip-seal program and short-term pothole repairs.
"They're starting the road next month," a council member reported; staff said the contractor is prepared to mill and chip-seal, and the town will follow up on specifications (including trench backfill and road crossing details for the cemetery waterline bid). Councilors discussed the possibility of reusing milled pavement material at the park if the contractor has material to spare.
Members also said they will ask county crews to prioritize pothole patching within the current fiscal year to capture the expense in this budget cycle. For a larger streets project funded through the joint highway committee, staff reported that design could start in October 2027 with construction in October 2028; the meeting transcript did not provide a clear dollar amount for that award, and staff told the council to expect confirmation of grant and match amounts in the coming months.
Councilors asked staff to coordinate closely with county public-works contacts and to flag any work that must move forward before the fiscal year closes.
