Council hears public-works updates: hydrant flushing, tree removals, valve replacement planned for July

May 12, 2026

Council members heard public-works and related reports: hydrant flushing will occur the last Thursday and Friday of the month starting in May; two trees in the park need removal; and the shut-off valve at Calhoun and Marion will be replaced in July through a joint city–county effort.

The full story

Council member Regan and staff provided several public-works and maintenance updates at the May 12 meeting. Regan said he had followed up on reports of dogs running loose and advised the council that the city has the authority to take animals running loose to the Jackson County Humane Society. Regan also noted a water shut-off valve at Calhoun and Marion will be replaced in July as a joint city–county project.
