Summary

City engineer reported a targeted $2 million paving program, escrow release and two-week start for the Broadway Hill Cemetery sewer work, and maintained a July target for substantial completion of the Crescent Avenue Bridge.

The city engineer reported to the council that the 2026 street-paving program is being finalized with a target of roughly $2,000,000 of paving work plus a $156,000 city share for the Crescent Avenue Bridge.

As the engineer described, "target about $2,000,000 of work" and discussed that the only anticipated cost increases would stem from fuel and asphalt price adjustments. The engineer also said the Broadway Hill Cemetery sewer project received escrow money and is expected to start in about two weeks, and that the Crescent Avenue Bridge still targets substantial completion and opening in July.

Council members asked for the street list and details for further review; the engineer indicated a $100,000 contingency is included in estimates to cover unforeseen conditions.
