Street Resurfacing Capital Loan Program

At a glance

What: Satya B. Mitra asked the City Manager for a report on the annual debt service schedule if the city authorized $20 million a year in loan orders for five years ($100 million total) for resurfacing and rehabilitating main arteries and sidewalks.
Where it stands: both orders adopted on 2026-07-21; the Mitra order passed 7-3 (nays: Robert A. Bilotta, Luis A. Ojeda, Gary Rosen; King abstained).
Next: reports pending; the 2025 Pavement Management study goes to a joint committee meeting.

Mitra's debt service report.
Khrystian E. King's added request for the city's strategy and priorities for a street repaving and infrastructure capital program.

The same night Tony Economou's order sent the 2025 Pavement Management study (Apex Companies and Cyvl.ai) to a joint Public Works and Traffic and Parking committee meeting.

Meeting	Minutes
2026-07-21 - City Council	22

2026-11-10 - City Council Meeting - On the agenda: a City Manager item (11.26F) for a $1,000,000 street and sidewalk resurfacing investment.
2026-08-25 - Public Works and Traffic and Parking Joint Committee — Satya B. Mitra told the joint committee he wants the roughly 20 major arteries on Stephen S. Rolle's list (about $300 million, he said) resurfaced over three to four years, starting with three or four streets at a time, and said he has already asked the City Manager about a loan program. Related to the 2025 Pavement Management Plan.
2026-07-21 - City Council — Item 12h: Mitra's debt-service report order adopted 7-3, King abstaining; King's strategy report adopted under suspension. Debate centered on a "$600 million" figure Mitra cited: Eric D. Batista said it is unborrowed loan authorization from earlier projects, not cash, and that a $100 million program would exceed current debt capacity, risk the bond rating and could require higher taxes or layoffs; Mitra said he only wanted the cost figures. Gary Rosen said he could not support even the report and asked for the roll call; King said he would abstain and wanted a priorities report (the administration said capital priorities are communicated only through the budget process). Economou's pavement management plan order (12m) referred to Public Works and Traffic and Parking.
