Morrow City adds Lake Harbin Road sidewalk bids to next meeting; council recesses into executive session

Morrow City officials on Jan. 14 agreed to place two bids for a 360-foot stretch of sidewalk on Lake Harbin Road on the agenda for the upcoming regular council meeting, City Manager Jeff Baker told the council and audience.

The move came during the council’s work session, which Mayor John J. Lampl II opened at 6:30 p.m. Baker said two bids relating to installing the sidewalk would be added to the regular meeting packet; the transcript does not specify the bidders, estimated cost, or funding source.

After that briefing, Mayor Lampl called for a motion to recess the work session and convene into executive session to discuss personnel and legal matters. Councilman Khoa Vuong moved to recess; Councilwoman Dorothy Dean seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Following the executive session, Mayor Lampl called for a motion to adjourn the executive session. Councilwoman Renee S. Knight moved to adjourn; Councilman Khoa Vuong seconded, and the motion again passed unanimously. Mayor Lampl then adjourned the work session at 7:30 p.m.; the minutes were attested by City Clerk Victor Aguilar and approved Jan. 28, 2025.

The council’s addition of sidewalk bids to the packet initiates a public, open-meeting review of those proposals at the next regular meeting; the transcript does not record discussion of funding sources, timelines, or contractor names. The public notice attached to the agenda states work sessions begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Morrow Municipal Complex and will continue after the regular meeting if necessary.
