Bond Issues - Water Lines and New City Hall and Public Safety Building

[Kevin Glasheen]

The voters have approved bonds for new water lines and for a new City Hall and Public Safety building. Our engineering firm K Friese is expected to present a proposal at our January council meeting for engineering services to design the water system upgrade, along with a proposed phasing of the project and a proposed schedule. The engineers told us it would take about six months to design the work, and maybe another six months to do the work for each phase. They are probably going to recommend two phases. More details later after they present in January.

Regarding our new City Hall and public safety building, Mayor Massengill suggested we form a citizen committee to work with architects to develop a proposal for design services and some preliminary design suggestions. Council approved the recommendation.
