Summary

Public Works Director Gary Coffman reported the SE Cherry Street water main project is complete and paid, staff responded to a weekend water-tower overflow, routine maintenance continues, Kramer Services submitted 18 utility locates for a fiber project, and Lagoon Phase II is expected to go to bid this fall.

Public Works Director Gary Coffman told the council the SE Cherry Street water main project has been completed and paid in full. He said crews completed the annual crack-sealing project and continued pothole repairs, mowing, trimming, street sweeping and spraying.

Coffman reported that over the weekend the water tower overflowed, requiring staff call-outs to address the issue. He also said Lagoon Phase II is anticipated to go out for bid this fall. Kramer Services has submitted 18 utility locates for a fiber project in town.

Why it matters: Completion of the Cherry Street water main closes a capital-improvement item; the overflow incident required staff time and may prompt a follow-up on tower maintenance or operational procedures. Planned bidding for Lagoon Phase II signals an upcoming infrastructure procurement and potential budgetary decisions later this year.
