AGENDA ITEM
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Paul Grohman, City Manager
Subject: Consideration and Possible Action - An Ordinance
Appropriating Funds for Street Maintenance
Date: November 4, 1992
When we first began identifying street projects, one source of
funds was a balance of $760,090.00 in the 1988 Street Bonds left
over from the first F.M. 518 widening project. The Orange Street
Project was charged to this account and I had planned to charge the
street reconstruction projects there also. However, now that the
true cost of the upcoming F.M. 518 widening project is known, I
recommend reserving the bond funds for F.M. 518.
At our current pace, I anticipate that the street overlay funds
will be exhausted by the end of November. If the City Council
wishes to continue the Cooperative City/County Street Overlay
Program with Brazoria County, you will need to allocate additional
funds. To complete the list of street overlay projects (copy
attached), we will need $325,000 to $350,000 more.
There are several other potential sources

the ordinance. A summary of current sources of funds and projected
costs is attached.
