Pre-RFPPublic WorksDetected Jul 7, 2026

The council approved a $30,000 scope with Fehr Graham to develop a comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan and street plan, including utility mapping, street condition review, and 3-, 5-, and 10-year project priorities. They also discussed possibly dedicating a 1% sales tax via ordinance to fund streets, sidewalks, curbs, and related infrastructure, using the plan to improve communication and grant competitiveness. While Fehr Graham is leading the plan, this sets up a pipeline of future projects where other firms can support implementation, funding, and project delivery.

Plan will guide realistic, financially feasible infrastructure projects and support grant applications.
