City Manager Lon Squyres told the council the city is still waiting on three DRRP contracts from the Texas General Land Office (GLO), and that processing takes a long time. ‘‘As soon as that starts, you’ll see three major projects starting: one is to fix communications through the city, one is a new sewer line that runs adjacent to Lane Street and the other one is a section of the wastewater treatment plant, a major repair project there,’’ Squyres said.
