Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

1. Background: Tarrant County originally approved $5,321,025 in 2021 Transportation Bond Program funding for the Glenview Drive Reconstruction Project and later added $500,000 in 2006 bond discretionary funding. On June 8, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 654-26, directing that funding previously allocated or contemplated for the larger Glenview project be redirected to Booth Calloway, while Glenview is addressed through a lower-cost mill and overlay approach with utility work evaluated as needed. The County’s proposed agreement reflects the remaining available allocation: $5,321,025 from the 2021 program and $400,401.64 from the 2006 program.
