Council weighs Community Crossings grant for Madison Street stormwater and road rebuild
Summary
Public works presented breakdowns for three segments of Madison Street tied to stormwater improvements; the application opens Sept. 1 and closes Sept. 30. Staff said doing segments a and b would require about $89,000 in local match, and doing all three could require approximately $142,000 in local match as discussed on the record.
Public works staff walked the council through cost estimates for three segments of Madison Street that package road reconstruction with required stormwater work. The presentation emphasized that the stormwater scope significantly increases costs: the transcript records a two-segment package cost given in discussion as "about total is $4.44" and a full three-segment total later cited in discussion as "$7,711,000," with an associated matching figure in the discussion identified as "$1.42" for local match in the transcript's phrasing.
Staff recommended prioritizing segments a and b together because the stormwater system ties the two segments and must be completed in tandem. Council members noted the application window opens September 1 and closes September 30 and asked staff to prepare estimates and, if needed, call a special meeting so the board could act before the deadline. One council member summarized the local-match exposure discussed on the record: "So to make sure I understand, so we, we do a and b. We're on the hook for roughly $89,000." Staff confirmed that figure in the discussion.
