Council reviewed a Veil Design contract for $68,290 paid from the general fund to design South Cherry Street reconstruction (Fayette to Jefferson), including street and storm sewer; item to return on OVA for formal approval.

City engineering staff outlined plans to reconstruct South Cherry Street from Fayette to Jefferson, a two-block stretch east of the Silk Purse and St. John's Lutheran Church. The council reviewed a proposed design contract with Veil Design for $68,290 to prepare plans for street and storm sewer work, paid from the general fund.

Staff said the street's condition was worsened by recent sewer work and adjacent IDOT activity; reconstruction is likely in the next fiscal year. Council voiced no objections and asked that the resolution be returned on the omnibus vote agenda for formal approval.
