Staff Report & Agenda Item Details
<h2 style="margin-left:0in;" data-pasted="true">1. Decision Requested</h2><p style="margin-left:0in;">Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize staff to eliminate the Glenview project at this time, move the funding originally allocated for Glenview to Booth Calloway, and proceed with a lower-cost Glenview mill and overlay partnership with Tarrant County, with sewer line pipe bursting evaluated as needed.</p><p style="margin-left:0in;">The decision before Council is whether to redirect limited project funding to Booth Calloway while addressing Glenview through a more limited maintenance approach.</p><h2 style="margin-left:0in;">2. Executive Summary</h2><p style="margin-left:0in;">This item is before Council because the City must prioritize limited capital and bond funding within the five-year CIP and budget stabilization framework. Staff recommends moving the funding originally allocated for Glenview to Booth Calloway because Booth Calloway is the higher-priority project at this time.</p><p style="margin-left:0in;">Glenview would not be ignored. Instead, staff would eliminate the larger Glenview project at this time and coordinate with Tarrant County on a mill and overlay approach, while evaluating sewer line pipe bursting if utility conditions require it.</p><p style="margin-left:0in;">If approved, staff will update the project funding plan, coordinate with Tarrant County, and bring back any required agreements, amendments, or utility-related actions.</p><h2 style="margin-left:0in;">3. Background</h2><p style="margin-left:0in;">The City previously considered funding for Glenview. Since then, the five-year financial forecast and CIP review have shown the need to prioritize projects more tightly.</p><p style="margin-left:0in;">Booth Calloway has emerged as the recommended use of the available Tarrant County bond funding, while Glenview may be addressed more affordably through a mill and overlay strategy and targeted utility work if needed.</p><div style="margin-left:0in;"><ul style="list-style-type: disc;margin-left: -0.25in;"><li style="margin-left:0in;">This action redirects funding rather than adding a new funding source.</li><li style="margin-left:0in;">This action removes the larger Glenview project from the current funding plan.</li><li style="margin-left:0in;">This action allows Glenview to remain on the maintenance radar through a county mill and overlay approach.</li><li style="margin-left:0in;">Sewer line pipe bursting should be evaluated before or in connection with the street work if needed to avoid rework.</li></ul></div><h2 style="margin-left:0in;">4. Key Facts</h2><div style="margin-left:0in;"><ul style="list-style-type: disc;margin-left: -0.25in;"><li style="margin-left:0in;">Current condition: Funding had been allocated or contemplated for Glenview, but staff now recommends moving that funding to Booth Calloway.</li><li style="margin-left:0in;">Need or opportunity: The City can align limited funding with the higher-priori
