Knob Noster to seek information on a street bond; county offered chip-seal option
Summary
The board authorized staff to contact bonding companies to explore a Street Bond for citywide road repair. Johnson County offered to chip-seal specific gravel roads near the new high school at about $2,000 of chip-seal product per road.
City leaders discussed multiple options for repairing Knob Noster streets, including pursuing a city-wide Street Bond and short-term county assistance. Alderman Thering emphasized that all city roads need repair and said a Street Bond would be the most realistic way to address widespread replacement. The board noted the city's Master Services Agreement with Marvin Wesley, LLC, references city-wide road repair needs.
Johnson County told city staff it could chip-seal roads near the new high school using roughly $2,000 of chip-seal material per road. Alderman Palmer moved, and Alderman Thering seconded, to have the City Administrator contact bonding companies to collect information about a Street Bond; the motion carried 6-0. The minutes record the authorization but do not include a bonding timeline or estimated total bond amount.
