Summary

Council and an agency official reported ongoing talks with county supervisors about a local agreement for street repairs, potential replacement of covers to reduce flooding, and use of county equipment and labor in town.

An agency official told the council that supervisors have been receptive to language permitting a local agreement in which the county would assist with street repair, dirt work and drainage; the mayor and staff discussed which items the county would initially pay for and which might remain a city responsibility.

Council members asked whether replacement of covers and flood mitigation would be included; the official said covers may or may not be covered by the county and that the city would likely need to provide quotes for some items. The official also described limited in-house equipment and older mowers, saying the city often spends more on repairs than replacement.
