Summary
The advisory board approved using 2000 CIP sales tax funds to build about 2,000 linear feet of sidewalk on the north side of 30 Third Street between Thornbrook and Bryant after staff said the project is long-planned in the ADA transition plan.
The Edmond Capital Improvements Projects Advisory Board voted Oct. 21 to fund a sidewalk project on the north side of 30 Third Street between Thornbrook and Bryant, using 2000 CIP sales tax dollars at an estimated cost of $200,000.
Brad Murray, senior civil engineer, told the board the project would construct about 2,000 linear feet of sidewalk and that it has been on the city’s ADA transition plan for years but had not been included in a CIP budget before. Staff said the project is needed and that declining general-fund sales tax revenue made using a CIP funding source preferable to paying from day-to-day general-fund dollars.
Board members asked questions and then moved to approve the allocation. Staff noted ADA projects are traditionally funded from the general fund but presented the CIP option because of current revenue conditions.
The board approved the motion; staff will proceed with project delivery and subsequent contracting steps. No additional design or construction dates were provided in the meeting materials.
