City Council Holds Paving and Sewer Talks in Tuesday Meet
City council spent much of Tuesday evening addressing ongoing paving and sewer work. They approved re evaluating insurance policies with John Lee as coordinator and planned tiling near the municipal airport. A sump pump was approved for 431 South Third Avenue to ease sewer depth issues and the street in front of St James school may be widened to relieve parking concerns. The alley paving proposal was rejected due to lack of federal funding assurance, though a plan to relieve city financial responsibility was later discussed.
