For the North Main paving package, members confirmed that the engineering specifications needed to be finalized for the bid package and requested that staff circulate an email updating the council on bid deadlines and advertising channels. Staff said the bid package would be distributed through state contract lists and local newspaper notices and that additional advertising options would be used as needed.
The clerk recorded unanimous roll-call approvals for the items listed above. The council also noted plans to record a 21-acre dedication from Family Market at a later August meeting and scheduled future meetings in August.
