What this means
Committee members approved motions to send a package of items to the full City Council for final approval. Those items fund traffic and school-zone signal materials, large water and sewer repair and rehabilitation contracts, storm sewer mapping work, a safety consulting services agreement, and membership dues to a regional watershed group. Residents can expect continued water-main and sewer repairs, updates to stormwater mapping, and installation/maintenance of traffic and school zone flashers as projects move forward. Several property easements and an encroachment agreement were also recommended to allow planned water facility and water-main work.
