Alderman O’Brien
Thank you.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
In the Contract 1, do you know when that is supposed to start?
Mr. Hudson
Sure again it is the same contract and we met with them and they intend to come in at the beginning of April,
start some milling work probably the first couple of weeks of April. Of course, this is all weather-dependent, we
will be watching the weather closely when we get there. And then we will start paving about mid-month. Then
they plan to be here consistently. In these contracts this year we’ve set milestones, so there’s certain
milestones they need to meet throughout the year. We did have to try to encourage you know a good effort
early on to hopefully avoid some of the carry over in the following year like we’ve seen in the past. So yeah
they should be paving mid-April.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Well | guess | want to say | am happy to see that Marian Lane is finally on the list because all of the streets
around me have been done. And | had a very hard time last year with my neighbors, because we couldn’t
understand how all the streets around us and just totally did not get Marian and we have 3 potholes right now
and one huge one right in front of my property.
Mayor Donchess
Get out there and get Marian Lane right away.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Will we know in advance the areas you are going to be working in?
Mr. Hudson
Yes.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Because | might want to look at getting my driveway done, the same thing and all that.
Mr. Hudson
Yes so we are sending out notices now so people should be receiving and are probably going to have
questions, they can contact us if they have any. So those notices are going out. As we come to working on a
street, our public relations person Lauren Byers, she will be posting more timely information, “we will be there
paving”. So you expect we are doing your street, but you don’t know exactly when. So as we come to your
street, there should be noticed posted.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Thank you.
