ACTION:
Request for Approval of a Budget Adjustment Request (BAR) in the Total Amount of $3,450,000 to
Allocate ½% GRT to Complete Streets FY27 WIP Construction and Design for City-Wide Roadway
Preservation, Sidewalk Repair, Pavement Condition Assessment and a Cooperative Cost-Share for
Drainage Infrastructure Improvements with the Georgia O’Keefe Museum. (Marcos Esquibel, Interim
Complete Streets Division Director: mpesquibel@santafenm.gov)
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY:
The Public Works Department requests approval of a $3,450,000 FY27 budget adjustment to support
infrastructure preservation and asset management through the Complete Streets Division. The
proposed allocation includes:
Roadway Preservation: $2,000,000: Implement preventive treatments, including crack sealing
and fog sealing, to extend pavement life and preserve streets before deterioration requires
more costly rehabilitation or reconstruction. The amount of roadway treated will depend on the
treatment mix, pavement conditions, and pricing.
Sidewalk Repair: $900,000: Implement sidewalk improvement projects, prioritized by safety
hazards, accessibility needs, pedestrian activity, and opportunities to coordinate with other
infrastructure work.
Citywide Pavement Condition Assessment: $500,000: Establish consistent, network-wide
pavement condition ratings to support objective project prioritization, selection of appropriate
maintenance treatments, and multiyear investment planning. Assessment results will support
integration with the City’s GIS and asset management systems.
Drainage Infrastructure Cost Share: $50,000: Fund the City’s proposed 50% contribution toward
a $100,000 storm drain inlet replacement completed by the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.
2
Roadway preservation and sidewalk repair are ongoing annual needs that have historically relied on
one-time appropriations. This approach limits the City’s ability to plan preventive maintenance and
increases reliance on reactive repairs after infrastructure has deteriorated. The pavement condition
assessment, which should be updated approximately every three to five years, will provide the data
needed to direct funding where it can deliver the greatest long-term benefit.
Approval of this BAR will fund the FY27 work and strengthen the foundation for a comprehensive
transportation asset management program. These investments will improve safety and accessibility,
protect existing infrastructure, and reduce future repair costs. Sustaining the roadway preservation and
sidewalk repair programs will require continued funding in subsequent fiscal years.
