Meeting Minutes
Committee Member Albin- Smith inquired about going all out on some of the roads and eliminating the others. Assistant Director O’Neal explained in detail this project is focusing on pavement preservation and maintaining the roadways we have that are still in good conditions so they do not fall into a failed state as that is more costly to fix.
Aaron discussed the plan for maintaining the roads by explaining the recommendations for pursuing a slurry seal and microsurfacing approach for roads that are still in good condition broken out into a high and low priority to stay within budget. This decision was made after careful consideration of various factors, and Aaron outlined the key points that led to this conclusion.
Assistant Director O’Neal reiterated the purpose of meeting today to recognize that the scope of work for the project has changed and to receive affirmation on changes before moving forward with next steps in the project.
Committee Member Albin- Smith inquired about the CDGB street project and if the projects could be combined. Assistant Director O’Neal explained we did not receive the grant funding.
Both Committee Members Peters and Albin-Smith agree with the incremental changes to the scope of work.
No Public Comment was received on this item
