Council flags failed road sections near prison, considers short-term patch or contractor bids
Summary
Council member Tony Atherley reported two small failed sections behind a residence near the prison that likely require repair within two to three months and asked staff to inspect and either do temporary in‑house repairs or solicit contractor bids.
Tony Atherley told the council there are two failed segments of roadway behind a house near the prison — roughly a combined 14 feet of damaged asphalt — that need attention. He asked public‑works staff to inspect the area and recommended either a temporary in‑house patch or soliciting two contractor bids to repair the sections.
Council members discussed consolidating several small projects (including Church Street) so in‑house crews could haul enough hot asphalt to complete multiple repairs; one member said waiting for state or federal project funds would take too long. The council agreed staff should evaluate whether the city can do the work in‑house or should pursue contractor quotes and report back.
