City Council Sails Through Fast One
City Council meeting runs 45 minutes with a sharp audience exchange as Thomas Clark blasts the mayor over senior citizen funding. Bids for Mead Park are deemed excessively high and all bids will be rejected and rebid to avoid delays. Council approves two municipal appointments and notes a slow budget process tied to police arbitration. Parking meter case remains suspended over a $65 offer versus $135 claim. City work this summer totals $169,742 across paving, resurfacing, sewers, curbing, and related tasks.
