Carleton approves $3,000 for cold‑patch road repairs
Summary
The Carleton Village Council approved $3,000 to buy cold patch for pothole repairs after President Penix presented two price quotes; the council will buy from the closer supplier when possible to save on fuel and time.
At a special meeting April 14, 2026, the Village of Carleton Village Council authorized $3,000 to purchase cold patch material for road repairs, combining a new $2,000 allocation with an unused $1,000 previously approved Sept. 2, 2025.
President James Penix told the council there were two price quotes: "The first quote is from Detroit for $135.00 per ton. The second quote is from Romulus for $140.00 per ton, but they are only open two days per week." Penix said he would buy from Romulus when it was open because it was closer, and from Detroit on other days to avoid extra truck fuel costs. The motion, made by Councilmember Terry Burkardt and supported by Tiffany Mousel, passed on a roll call vote 4–0.
The approved funds are intended for immediate cold‑patch purchases and short‑term pothole repairs on neighborhood streets, including areas residents identified during public comment. The council did not adopt a longer‑term resurfacing plan at this meeting; staff did not provide additional engineering estimates or a multi‑year paving schedule during the session.
