City Dads Discuss Zoning Changes and Pump Station Plans
City commissioners advanced two zoning change studies including home occupation limits and expanded South Lincoln commercial zones while urging public input. They reviewed the river pumping station project tied to an $850000 water upgrade approved in August and approved payment of 42090.93 to Elliott Co. for turbine and generator with $4915 remaining. An Elm Street and Plummer Street street bid from Freeto Construction Co. was rejected for exceeding estimates. Election boards were appointed and a Nov 10 meeting set to avoid Veterans Day. Public hearings on Cherry zoning were scheduled for Nov 25 with no final decision yet.
