BRAZORIA COUNTY ROAD ALLOCATION FOR 1981:
City Manager Wicker reported that the County has made provisions, at the request of
some of the cities, whereby instead of the County doing the work for the cities, that
they would make the funds directly available to the cities, and the cities would be
responsible for doing the work. Mr. Wicker recommended that the City continue the
same as we have in the past. This would be having the County do the work on roads
designated by the City Council. Mr. Wicker stated that he felt the unit prices and
quantities made the County able to get better prices than we could. It was moved by
Councilman McComb, seconded by Councilman Mack that the County Commissioner be.advisod
through the County Engineer, that the City wishes to stay with Option (1) with the
County performing the work and charging it against the City's account, and that these
funds be allocated to Old Alvin Road beginning at Walnut Street and proceeding south
as far as the money will go. Motion passed 5 to 0.
City Manager Ron Wicker stated that if we could not work out something with the County
on the small section of Old Alvin Road, between F. M. 518 and Walnut, that we could
probably do it under a unit price on bids on street materials to be reviewed by the
City Council at the next meeting.
