Street paving plans dominate final May city council meeting
The council discussed sidewalk requests for the east side of the school grounds and noted the school board lacks funds to build it now. Mariner & Samso won the Byard street paving contract, with Maple and Pratt streets targeted for summer work. The city will supply grading. The health department will handle nuisance abatement on Carpenter street with penalties for noncompliance. A city market is set to start next month on Still Street near Court, with tables provided by the city. Mill Street paving costs rose to about 7700, and East Side storm sewers were outlined with 20 percent city funding likely, plus future public notices for property owners.
