They have determined that patch and overlay method of repair is most cost effective and best for preventing further deterioration. The estimated cost is $17,185. The City Engineer advised the Council that construction projects over $10,000 must be publicly advertised and bid out. There are four areas that they feel are absolutely necessary, and they are Highlands Trail between DeMontreville Trail and High Trail, two areas in the Hidden Bay area; Deer Pond Trail from Hidden Bay on the south and then right at the fork between Jackpine Trail and Deerpond Trail and lastly up on the northern part of the City on 55th street near Howard Springborne's driveway. They felt that it was small enough that the City crew could handle 20th street.
