City engineer outlines 2025–26 engineering budget and multiple capital requests
Summary
City Engineer Steve Glass presented the engineering division's 2025–26 budget (2.91% increase tied to filling two vacancies), permit and inspection metrics, and capital requests including a $100,000 PCI study, a $150,000 ADT study, an $800,000 Old Mill Road design, and a $910,000 wastewater‑collection‑system model.
Steve Glass, the city engineer for Greenville, presented the engineering division’s 2025–26 operating and capital budget and described planned work across streets, utilities and development review. "My name is Steve Glass, city engineer for city of Greenville," he told the council, and summarized the department’s duties from plan review and construction inspection to floodplain administration and GIS updates. He said the proposed budget shows a 2.91% increase that reflects filling two vacant positions (an engineering technician and an administrative assistant).
Glass listed several capital requests and their purposes: a PCI (pavement condition index) study at $100,000 and an ADT (average daily traffic) study at $150,000 to objectively prioritize overlays and reconstruction; ENG 2602, an $800,000 design request for Old Mill Road and drainage improvements from Edgewood Drive to Bethel Road; and a $910,000 wastewater‑collection‑system model to evaluate capacity on mains 10 inches and larger and guide a capacity‑based CIP. "The PCI study quantifies the condition of the payment of city owned streets to objectively assess the condition," Glass said during his presentation. Council members asked clarifying questions about how the PCI/ADT studies would be used for bond timing and regular street‑program prioritization.
