Maroa council authorizes $19,000 ground prep and accepts asphalt quote for Wood Street sidewalk
Summary
At a July 24 special meeting, Maroa alderpersons approved $19,000 for ground preparation by Doak Backhoe and accepted an asphalt installation quote from Dunn Co. at $2.61 per square foot for the Wood Street sidewalk project; both motions passed by roll call with one member absent.
The Maroa City Council on July 24 approved two measures to move the Wood Street sidewalk project forward, authorizing ground preparation work and accepting a contractor quote for asphalt installation.
"Motion by Alderperson Grider to authorize Doak Backhoe to proceed with ground preparation for the Wood Street sidewalk project at a cost of $19,000," the minutes record. Alderperson Matt Riley seconded the motion, and roll call showed Alderperson Blake West not present and Alderpersons Angela Bogle, Jeremiah Grider, Matt Riley, Toni Stoutenborough and Monty Greutman voting Aye, carrying the measure.
Council members had reviewed the project layout earlier in the meeting. The north section will run from Taft Street to Baller's along the west side of Wood Street; the south section will run from the former Coastal building to Casey's along the east side. The plan includes crosswalks at Dollar General and Casey's and calls for a sidewalk approximately nine feet wide. Staff discussion touched on property-line locations, the condition of ditch banks and other groundwork needed before paving.
A separate motion approved contracting Dunn Co. to provide and install asphalt for the project at a cost of $2.61 per square foot. "Motion by Alderperson Bogle to accept the quote from Dunn Co. to provide and install asphalt for the Wood Street sidewalk project at a cost of $2.61 per square foot," the minutes state; Alderperson Jeremiah Grider seconded and the same five available alderpersons voted Aye. The council did not record any abstentions or opposing votes.
The council took no public comments at the special meeting and adjourned at 6:00 p.m. The minutes do not specify a construction schedule, total estimated square footage, or funding source for the work; those details were not provided in the meeting record.
