Mayor updates council on wastewater RFP, water‑system work, tower repair and grant applications
Summary
The mayor provided updates on multiple infrastructure projects including wastewater treatment firm selection, trash contract bids, awarded meter extensions, work on the city communication tower, and a grant application for zoning and strategic development; no votes were taken on these projects at the meeting.
Mayor Campbell updated council on several ongoing and upcoming infrastructure projects, reporting progress on wastewater planning, contract bids and water-system improvements.
The mayor said the city interviewed four firms for the wastewater treatment plant RFP and was finalizing a selection while pursuing state and federal funding opportunities for the project. Trash contract bids were due to the city in May and a pre-bid meeting for a skater project was scheduled. The mayor reported that awards had been issued for a water tank and 10‑inch meter extensions and that EPA officials had indicated comfort with those extensions, allowing the city to move forward.
Work on a city communication tower was under way and crews had begun running lines; climbing and installation are scheduled to await improved weather. The mayor also said a grant for signage and a generator associated with well fields, previously received, did not require an additional hold and could be executed. The city filed an application with a mayoral partnership for strategic development funds to help update zoning codes and support development near a local hospital.
No formal council vote on project selection or appropriations for these projects was recorded at the meeting. The mayor indicated that more details — scope, fees and timelines — would be shared with council as firms finalize proposals and state/federal approvals advance.
