Council tables alley-paving plan and geotechnical testing pending cost estimates
Summary
Council tabled a proposal to spend roughly three-quarters of available liquid fuels funds on alley paving and a related geotechnical sampling proposal after members asked for firm cost quotes; motions to table were passed.
Montoursville Borough Council debated using liquid fuels funds for alley paving and whether to hire Geo-Technology Associates, Inc. to core-sample alley bases before paving. Streets & Water coordinator Mr. Hoffman said about three-quarters of the available liquid fuels funds would be used for the project but could not provide a firm dollar figure without quotes. Council Member Misty Emick said she 'doesn’t want to write a blank check for this project,' and the council ultimately tabled the alley-paving item and the geotechnical proposal until cost estimates are available.
Dr. Kline initially made and then rescinded a motion to authorize the geotechnical work; the council voted to table both items (Alley Paving tabled on motion by Mrs. Emick; geotech item tabled on motion by Dr. Kline). No quotes or project schedule were presented at the meeting.
