Committee approves Norris Asphalt quotes for cemetery paving and Harrison Street, recommends City Council review

On June 26, 2026, the Personnel & Finance Committees of Mount Pleasant City approved quotes from Norris Asphalt to repave a section of the city cemetery and to pave a portion of Harrison Street and recommended both contracts be forwarded to the City Council for final consideration. Public Works Director Drew Schumacher presented a map showing the cemetery section scheduled for paving this year and areas completed in prior years, and also presented the quote for Harrison Street, covering the block from Monroe Street to Madison Street.

The committee’s action was a recommendation to the full City Council rather than a final contract award. The committee approved both quotes and forwarded them to the City Council for final consideration; the transcript does not record a mover, seconder, or a vote tally. The presentation included a location map and scope notes, but the transcript does not specify contract amounts, start dates, or the exact cemetery subsection by lot or gravesite numbers.

Because the committee’s approval was advisory to the council, final contract execution, budget appropriation and scheduling remain subject to City Council review and any additional procurement requirements. The Public Works Director’s presentation focused on the contractor selection (Norris Asphalt) and the two project sites: the cemetery section slated for this year’s work and Harrison Street between Monroe and Madison streets. No statutory references or grant funding sources were mentioned in the transcript.

The committee recorded its recommendation to forward both quotes to the City Council for final consideration.
