Council approves contractor hire for Jewells sewer line work, flags tree‑root damage
Summary
Council voted to hire FIT to address an offset in the Jewells sewer line and discussed use of AARPA or regular funds; maintenance staff said the line is riddled with tree roots and that this is likely phase one of repairs.
The council reviewed bids and footage showing an offset in the Jewells sewer line, heard from maintenance staff that the line is extensively affected by tree roots, and approved hiring FIT to complete the immediate work.
Danny Gamblin and contractors measured the location and presented footage of the offset. Council Member Matt Craig moved to hire FIT; Council Member Kyle Maichel seconded and the motion passed 5-0. The minutes record discussion about paying from regular funds and a suggestion from Clerk Jim Koger that AARPA funds could be used. Danny Gamblin noted this is likely phase one of the overall repair effort.
The council did not adopt a multi‑phase funding plan at the meeting; members asked staff to continue evaluating needs and costs for subsequent phases.
