The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved the second reading of Bill B25‑11 and adopted Ordinance 2472 to accept TAP funding for upgrades at the Kirby Road intersection and improvements on Eagles Parkway.
Aldermen asked whether the improvements serve a nearby school and whether the school district would contribute. Staff said the project includes adding turn lanes and making the intersection safer; to date there is no agreement with the school to share costs. Staff also stated the grant was split 80/20 (city share 20 percent, grant 80 percent), as discussed at the meeting.
The ordinance passed on roll call: Aldermen Knox, Soule, Skinner, Myers and Lindbergh voted yes; the measure passed 5‑0. With adoption the city is authorized to execute the TAP agreement and proceed with project implementation according to grant terms.
