200 NORTH STREET PROJECT
Finance Director Justin Johnson reported that upon completion of this County project, additional
funds amounting to $300,000 were needed because the project cost more than originally anticipated
by the County. Roosevelt had already invested approximately $200,000 for easements and utility
line replacement under the road before asphalt was applied. The County expected Roosevelt City to
fund the overruns because the street is within the City even though used primarily by County
residents. Roosevelt had requested Revitalization Funds to help with street construction around the
County Hospital. At the County’s suggestions, these funds (revitalization) will be used to defray the
cost overruns on 200 North and Roosevelt City will pay for the hospital street from its General Fund
street budget. As a result, other streets that were a higher priority in Roosevelt than 200 North will
have to wait for future funding in order to be addressed. Even though 200 North has been
completed, city officials expressed some consternation because of the additional unexpected cost to
the City.
COUNCIL REPORTS
Vaun Ryan reported that Pam Bryson has requested that weeds collected from a cleanup effort be
allowed to be taken to a city site to be burned. Council directed that the Parks Director and Police
Department need to be contacted to coordinate the burning.
Guy Coleman didn’t have anything to report.
