Gunter approves county ILA for 20 hours of shared roadwork to address potholes
Summary
Council approved an interlocal agreement allowing county crews to provide up to 20 hours of discretionary pothole/road patching on shared roads for $5,935.70; staff said the arrangement is meant to increase efficiency by having county crews address small repairs while already working nearby.
Council reviewed an interlocal agreement with the county that would authorize up to 20 hours of discretionary roadwork on shared roads, at a total not‑to‑exceed amount of $5,935.70. The mayor said the arrangement would allow county crews to perform small repairs while doing scheduled work in the area rather than requiring separate city mobilizations.
A council member moved to approve the ILA as written; the motion passed unanimously. Officials discussed how the hourly accounting and material usage would be tallied (time-based charging and materials included in the hourly rate as appropriate). Council asked staff to track hours and build an annual budget estimate if the program is continued in subsequent years.
The mayor said staff will implement the agreement and provide budget updates, and council expressed interest in expanding the approach if it proves cost effective.
