The entrance to the new City Building on River Avenue has been brightened with flower boxes and planters and issues regarding the final signoff on the building remodel have been resolved. City Clerk Tammy Jenkins said the City will receive a refund from the painting and problems with the windows have been resolved.

The Street Department will be restructured. Daily tasks will be assigned by Turley with emphasis on both performing the street work and keeping City property mowed and weeded. Approval was given to hire three additional workers to work on the storm sewer project. Council decided it was more cost efficient to perform the work inhouse.
