ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Ibarra?
Mr. Ibarra
Thank you Mr. Mayor. So as you know we have a mill and fill program that we do City-wide that works hand-in-
hand with the paving program. So we try and for lack of a better word Band-Aid streets that may not be being
addressed with paving in any fiscal year. So we try to extend the life of those roads until they do make the
paving program. We also have been tasked with doing more larger pavement projects in-house since we have
the equipment and the talent at Street Department | might say. This roller will help us do larger scale projects:
we are looking at potentially doing the Holman Parking Lot and the Stellos Parking Lot. Last season we did the
Lincoln Park Project and the upper lot we paved. So this is a heavier roller than what we currently have and we
will just get larger projects done in-house.
