FY27 Proposed Budget

Recent Accomplishments: • Used 293 tons of asphalt to patch potholes throughout the city. • Poured 2,394 yards of concrete panel replacing streets in need of maintenance. • Leaf program picked up 473 loads totaling 1,617 tons in fiscal year 2025. • Replaced 3,223 street signs in fiscal year 2025 to comply with Federal retro-reflectivity requirements. • Completed four street sweeping passes of the entire street network. • Street sweeping program picked up 109 loads totaling 665 tons in fiscal year 2025. • Sprayed all pavement markings including bike lanes and crosswalks. • Assisted other Divisions and Departments with tasks such as sign installations, water main breaks, traffic control setup, erosion control, tree removal, and concrete projects. Upcoming Challenges: • Limited road use tax revenues inhibit adequate preventive street maintenance and material cost increase. • Deferred maintenance will result in poorer pavement quality and increased demand for patching and temporary repairs and reconstruction. • Completing existing work assignments such as pavement repairs, leaf collection, and snow plowing with current revenue and resource levels. • Additional bike lanes, crosswalks, speed humps, and roundabouts to maintain pavement markings. • Supply, demand, and cost for equipment has gone up. This has increased the ongoing cost of replacement for equipment and has made a huge impact on our rental end loader fleet for winter services. • Cold storage for equipment and material when Transit and Equipment move on to the Public Works site. • Continuing the replacement and upgrading signal detection, PTZ cameras, and controllers. • Signal poles along Highway 6 and Highway 1 are very old and will need to be replaced at some point. • Additional specialty lighting, school speed zone, flashing lights, and banners to maintain. • Keep up with replacement and maintenance on all light fixtures. Lots of LED fixtures have been changing to purple in color. Most of ours have not to this point.
