Summary

A downtown resident asked the board when construction would finish. City Administrator Kim Rogers said the water rehabilitation work was 99% complete; remaining tasks include installing grinder pumps on West Hill Ave. and tying sewer lines, with sidewalk work taking longer and a grant application for paving under way.

During public comment, resident Janet Walton asked when downtown construction would be finished. Walton provided a street address and asked the board about timing for downtown repairs and paving.

City Administrator Kim Rogers responded with a status update: "the water rehab was 99% finished. They only had to install grinder pumps on West Hill Ave. for the sewer and tie them onto the line, but the sidewalk project would take a while longer," the minutes state. Rogers added that roads would be repaired where cuts were made and that the city is applying for a grant to pay for paving.

The board did not establish a final timeline in the minutes; the update provided specific remaining tasks (grinder pumps, sewer tie-ins, sidewalk work) and noted a pending grant application for paving.
