The latest, from Oct 26: The council has a discussion and decision item on future street repairs. The agenda gives no project list, budget, or vendor, so this is still an early planning signal. It suggests the city is shaping a road maintenance program rather than buying a specific service yet. A seller would want to learn how the repair list, funding, and timing will be set after this meeting.
