Sycamore Street project is also waiting for I.D.O.T approval.

He is working on a plat for the city attorney regarding the potential land the city may purchase from Mr. Murphy for the drainage project. Once the attorney finishes the draft of an agreement and the plat identifying the land is completed, a representative from the city will discuss with Mr. Murphy and bring the information back to the committee.
