The Clovis Public Works Committee convened on January 28, 2026, to review recent infrastructure completions, approve new capital projects, and discuss future strategic initiatives. Key topics included the allocation of solar-powered street light funding, the potential closure of a railroad crossing, annual residential paving plans, and the utilization of road bond funds for major arterial improvements. The meeting also featured updates from the City Manager and School District Superintendent regarding ongoing construction timelines and facility strategies.
Even if they just made the skills of things to say that I think you know we'll still do it once a month. Okay, we'll go ahead and call the committee to order of the uh public works committee. And Ms. Falcon, will you call roll, please? Mayor Pro Tem Bryant. Here. Commissioner Zamora. Commissioner Porter. Commissioner Jones. Clifford Martin. Here. Len Voe. Here. Randy Rodriguez. Here. Donald Goings. Here. Okay. Thank you. I also welcome Donald Goines is our new member for public work. We appreciate your interest in this committee. Thank you. Thank you for doing it. Okay, we're down to approval of the minutes from July twenty-third. Is there any correction, or do we have a motion to approve? Motion to approve. Second. All those in favor, take the common saying aye. Moves on to new business. And it allowed us to install around twenty uh solar-powered street lights throughout the community. It's kind of interesting that uh we received the money during the twenty twenty-five legislative session. We are now in the twenty twenty-six legislative session, so that kind of shows you how long sometimes it takes us to get the grant agreements in place uh from the state uh in order for us to go and utilize uh those capital outlay funds. Um, on packet page 14 uh in your packets, uh, we worked with uh our GIS uh folks, and they actually in as well as got data from Excel Energy and Farmers Electric on all the street lights that we have in town. Uh and then we analyzed the the intersections that do not have street lights at them. Uh and so we actually have it broken down in two different tables there. You'll see one where we don't have a street light within one hundred feet of an intersection, uh, and the other table shows where we don't have a street light within a hundred and fifty feet of the intersect of an intersection. Uh it's broken down by each district, so one, two, three, and four. Uh I'm just gonna use the top table for the example here. Uh within a hundred feet, we have a total intersections of three hundred and one uh intersections without street lights at them. Uh there are sixty-eight in district one, eighty-nine in district two, seventy-eight in uh district three, and sixty-six in district four. On packet pages uh ten through thirteen, uh we've provided kind of the each district uh shown there. So district is on packet page 10 is district three, they're not in order. Uh packet page 11 is district two. Packet page 12 is district uh one and packet page 13 is district four. We have had requests um in district one as well as in district three for the street lights. Uh in District Three, which is on packet page ten, uh we've had individuals request street lights down uh South Main Street in Navajo. Uh and so that's on the very southern portion of District 3. Uh and you can see there's probably about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven lights along uh South Main and then on Kimberley uh that don't have uh street lights at them. In District One, we've received a request for the intersection of Colonial Estates in Lew Wallace. That's up on the northern portion of the district on kind of the top left-hand corner of the page there.
