Why This Vote Matters
A motion to delay the Dornan Drive tunnel repair project until October failed in a divided 4-3 vote, with Beckles, Butt, Ritterman, and McLaughlin voting against the delay. Councilmembers Boozé, Bates, and Rogers had wanted city staff to first report back on whether the tunnel repairs are actually necessary right now. The repair contract includes $74,575 for unexpected costs during construction plus an additional $31,000 for design services. The council will now proceed to consider the repair contract itself at this meeting.
