Commissioners split on $7,491 park parking-lot treatment; vote to obtain another quote
Summary
Parks director recommended a $7,491 seal-coat and re-striping of the lower park lot to extend concrete life; the board approved seeking another quote after a 3–2 vote, with concerns about single-quote procurement and Powell Bill eligibility.
Parks & Recreation Director Sarah Goldsmith told the board that a $7,491 seal‑coat treatment with re‑striping would preserve the lower parking lot and delay full repaving, which a single lot had been estimated at about $107,000.
Commissioner Jerry Beasley and others pressed for additional bids; Goldsmith said a second contractor declined the small project because of concrete condition and a third had not submitted a quote. Commissioner Kelvin Gilbert described the $7,491 treatment as a good price to preserve concrete life but reiterated the priority of addressing a bump at the park entrance.
Public Works Director Wes Blount said Park Lane was a state road and that he would inquire whether anything could be done about the bump; the board then approved a motion "RESOLVED, to get at least one more quote." The vote was Ayes (3) — Beasley, Allen, Powell; Noes (2) — Gilbert, W. C.
