Nutter Fort tables proposed repaving requirement for utility street excavations
Summary
Council discussed Ordinance 2025-03 to require utility companies disturbing more than 20% of a street to repave up to the next block; after comparisons to Bridgeport’s standard and questions about timing, council asked for a redraft and tabled the ordinance pending revision.
On first reading the council considered Ordinance 2025-03, which would amend Article 911 to require utility companies that disturb more than 20% of a street to repave up to the next block. Resident Rezin Hudkins said Bridgeport requires restoration to previous condition rather than a fixed percentage, and the council directed staff to redraft language similar to Bridgeport’s approach.
Recorder Natalie Haddix asked about the timing of the ordinance; council members agreed a short delay would not affect pending work. The ordinance was tabled for revision after a motion by Councilor Charlene Louk and a second from Councilor Karen Phillips.
