Council weighs recoding engineering expenses, notes KSA will bill for road management

Dec 8, 2025

Council discussed recategorizing $87,169 in road and drainage engineering costs as a major project, noted a larger $142,000 project line and that KSA — asked to manage town roads — will likely bill the town for hours; staff will monitor run rates before making budget coding changes.

A member pointed to line items showing $87,169 budgeted for road and drainage engineering and said larger project spending has appeared elsewhere; staff and council discussed moving engineering costs into a major projects category so the accounts better match the work being done.
