Paving and equipment projects outlined; Punkin Town Road targeted for SPLOST funding
Summary
Streets department presented a roughly $1.4 million operating budget and identified capital work including Punkin Town Road (SPLOST), an LMIG-funded resurfacing, and equipment purchases (e.g., $108,000 Kubota tractor reimbursed by Douglas County).
Staff presented the streets operating budget at about $1.4 million and detailed planned capital projects. Punkin Town Road resurfacing is planned with SPLOST funding; additional resurfacing will use LMIG and SPLOST resources. Staff listed equipment purchases including a Kubota tractor and attachments, skid steer, stump grinder and trenching gear for $108,000, to be paid by Douglas County.
The department has eight full-time employees and reported an 11% decrease from the prior year because prior-year Safe Streets for All projects were completed. Staff said larger paving contracts (bundling multiple roads) are more attractive to contractors and that accumulating LMIG funds across multiple years allows the city to bid larger packages and get better results.
