Downtown bids too high at Shafter council meeting
Guinn-led Shafter City Council tackled 11 items, advancing School Safety Zone sections and South Shafter water service plans. A new automated refuse truck bid of 131,948.61 was approved, along with vacating 10 feet of East Ash Avenue right‑of‑way for Helena Chemical and a CalTrans cost share review. The panel sought more bid clarity for Downtown Revitalization bids and scheduled a March 28 follow‑up.
