Council members report sinkhole on State Road 36, easement concerns near Little Baptist Church and overgrown limbs at water plant
Summary
Council members said an alleyway was cleared, reported a developing sinkhole on State Road 36 in front of Dollar General, noted a resident easement concern near Little Baptist Church and agreed to trim overgrown limbs at water plant well houses on a recurring schedule.
Council members told the Town Board that several local maintenance issues need attention, including a developing sinkhole on State Road 36 and vegetation problems at water-utility facilities.
A council member reported: "There's a a sinkhole coming up on 36. It's right in front of, Dollar General." That member said they were unsure whether the state or the town is responsible for repairs. The transcript records agreement that the condition is dangerous and needs to be fixed, but no formal assignment of responsibility or follow-up owner was recorded in the meeting minutes.
Board members also said an alleyway had been cleared and discussed a tree trunk that was not cut down. A council member raised a resident concern about an easement near the Little Baptist Church on South Walnut and said, according to the meeting transcript, "Alberto said he would get that taken care of." Members also agreed to push back limbs at the water plant and well houses because they were overgrown, and confirmed that the trimming would be done on roughly a two-year cycle.
Next steps: the board discussed the issues but did not record a formal vote or assign a named department in the transcript; follow-up responsibilities were described verbally (Alberto) but not formalized in the meeting record.
