Summary

Public-works staff briefed the board on a paving plan that combines public input and an AI pavement scan; staff said the goal is roughly 10–14 miles this year and about 25 miles across two years toward maintaining a 119‑mile network, prioritizing most‑traveled roads first.

Public-works staff told the Board of Works that the city's paving strategy combines resident input with an AI road‑condition scan performed by the contractor; the combined approach will prioritize the most‑traveled roads first. Staff estimated this year's mileage at "somewhere between... 10 to 14" miles and said, conservatively across this year and next, to "call it 25 miles" toward a total network of 119 miles.

Staff noted the pavement assessment uses a PACER rating with an average target of 6 and said the work will be a mix of mill/overlay depths adjusted in places where other utilities required deeper sections. Councilors thanked staff and highlighted the importance of pursuing additional funding rather than relying solely on limited state CCMG money.

Board members also discussed coordination with neighborhood input and thanked staff members (including Courtney Partoon) for grant‑finding efforts to supplement state funding.
