City Council - Sep 22, 2026
Multiple residents begged for repaving: Diane Roby's Kenton Club street floods her garage, Charles Johnson says St. Andrews Drive hasn't been repaved in 40+ years, and Laretha Wells showed photos of dumping-ravaged streets. Foote's item 25 pushed to keep the existing unit-cost contract moving; the Mayor confirmed 600+ streets and a $40M bond package.
City Council - Sep 8, 2026
A supplemental agreement with EJES, Inc. would align Phase 2 street resurfacing with Special Sales Tax Commission funding. No record shows action taken.
Public Works - Mar 4, 2026
