He said the segment of road could add approximately $40,000.00 annually to the operations and maintenance of the City's streets. Mayor Kuykendall thanked Councilman Kuknyo for pushing the item through the system. Councilman Kuknyo said a lot of people worked on getting the project back on the schedule. Councilwoman Wilcox asked about the future roundabout into State land and why that would be needed. Mr. Tkach said the roundabout would open up some state land for potential development. Craig McConnell, City Manager, added that there was state land, for which access has to be provided. He said that it makes sense to design the roundabout into the project now, rather than try to figure out where to put an intersection in at a later date. Mayor Kuykendall asked if the City of Prescott would maintain the roundabout. Mr. McConnell answered that ADOT is willing to work with the City of Prescott to widen the segment, so Prescott will have to maintain the segment. He noted that there are four existing lanes and ADOT will do a construction and resurfacing treatment on those lanes to add, not less than, a ten year service life.
