Mount Pleasant Streets Committee denies right-of-way sale, approves two paving measures
Summary
The Streets Committee denied a request by Committee member Jeff Cole to buy City right-of-way behind his property, authorized up to $50,000 for asphalt on S. Jackson in front of the Catholic Church, and approved an alley overlay between the Fire Department and Home Furniture. Discussion on further S. Jackson and Linden Drive projects was continued.
The Mount Pleasant City Streets Committee on July 23 denied a request from Committee member Jeff Cole to purchase City right-of-way behind his property and approved two paving actions, while continuing discussion of additional projects on S. Jackson and Linden Drive.
Committee minutes show Jeff Cole’s proposal to buy the right-of-way was discussed and then rejected. Committee member Rick Mullin noted that the city Utilities department plans to replace electric service at some point, and Committee member Jim Warner cautioned that if the city ever needed to expand S. Grand Ave it would likely require as much land as the City currently owns. The transcript does not record a mover, seconder, or vote tally for the denial.
The Committee authorized Rick Mullin to spend up to $50,000 to asphalt S. Jackson in front of the Catholic Church; the minutes record the spending cap but do not specify the funding source or a formal vote tally. The body also approved an asphalt overlay of the alley between the Fire Department and Home Furniture; again, the record notes approval without naming a mover, seconder, or vote counts.
Members continued discussion of potential projects on S. Jackson and Linden Drive but took no formal action on those project concepts at this meeting. The minutes record that no vote was taken on those items and they remain under consideration.
The meeting record lists Kent White, Steve Engberg, Mayor Steve Brimhall, Brent Schleisman, Rick Mullin, Jim Warner and Jeff Cole as present and Kevin Glaha as absent. The minutes include signature lines for preparation and approval but do not show final signatures or dates in the transcript provided.
