COW STUDY SESSION – DISCUSSION ITEM ADDITIONAL 2019 ROAD PROJECT
Jeremy Palm, Interim City Manager, presented this item to the Council and provided an update on 2019 roadway construction that is underway in the city. He reported that the past winter has caused an increase in deterioration in some of the City's streets not included in the approved 5-year road plan. We have notable issues on portions of Genseke Crt. Rhett Butler Dr., W. Stanton St. and Powell St. He has projected that $100,00 in budgeted funds will remain after the already awarded projects are paid. He recommends we use these funds to alleviate the majority of the pavement issues and increase the life of the streets until they can be included in a future 5-year road plan. The members of the Council came to a consensus to move ahead with the additional road work for the city.
