The full story

City Manager Squyres asked the council to authorize solicitation of requests for proposals (RFPs) for three DRRP grant projects, each described in the meeting as worth $2 million. The projects are: a WWTP digester project (separated from an original $5.3 million project to keep that work within budget), the Lane Street sewer line project to address sewer overflows after large storms, and a Fixed Communications Equipment project to replace aging generators (including at the fire station) and upgrade the radio system to P25 standards.
