Budget Review

Office Manager Passage presented the September budget. The committee reviewed the budgets for the Road & Bridge Fund, Motor Fuel Tax Fund, and the Water/Sewer Fund.

Sidewalk Program Applications

No applications were submitted

High Usage Waiver

Office Manager Passage presented a high usage waiver request from Rita Hartley for David McCartney, 621 A Truitt. There was high usage for the months of July to August and August to September. Superintendent Sutherland investigated and could not determine where the usage was used. He advised the care taker of the property to replace the parts in the stool as a precaution. A discussion was held and the consensus of the committee was to waive $37.06 from the account.

Alley Vacation

Office Manager Passage stated that the vacation plat has been completed and the attorney has drafted the ordinance to vacate the portion of the alley behind 721Third. The consensus of the committee was to present the ordinance to vacate the alley to the city council for approval.

Sharrows – Bradley Avenue

The City Engineer reported that an estimate has been provided in the amount of $1650 to paint sharrows on Bradley Ave between Cloverdale and Sycamore Street. The Engineer noted that since most of the length has shoulder, a bike path symbol could be used in those areas, spaced at 250 foot intervals. The length north of Cloverdale Road on the west side would have sharrows painted in the lane.

Superintendent Sutherland stated that he believes the cost to stripe Bradley Ave. and Cloverdale was under what was approved and there would be no additional outlay of money. The committee agreed and will recommended approval of the cost and method at the next council meeting.

Tires – Truck 23

Superintendent Sutherland advised the committee that the tires need to be replaced on Truck 23. He presented a proposal from Beau Tire in the amount of $1,260.00. This cost would be split between the water/sewer fund and road & bridge fund. The consensus of the committee was to present the proposal for approval at the council meeting Oct. 8, 2018.
