Council members highlight infrastructure fixes, parking plans and board openings
Summary
Council members updated the public on alley and road repairs, forthcoming off‑street parking work tied to 2nd Street milling, ditch-cleaning efforts, and open board appointments with application deadlines in August and September.
Council members used the work session to report on routine infrastructure and constituent concerns. Councilman McDonald (Ward A) reported alley repairs on the 800 block of South Side of 8th Street and raised the need for attention at the old Lyons Field. Councilman Davis outlined plans to address drainage and infrastructure as part of the budget process and noted that off-street parking work will use milling from 2nd Street's grind-and-overlay, saying county roadwork should reach Freeport in about a month.
Councilwoman Morales (Ward C) praised staff for ditch-cleaning efforts and said she has received calls about homelessness, noting the police department responds to related calls. Doctor Kelly reminded the public of open appointments: one Board of Adjustment alternate (applications due Aug. 7), one Senior Citizens Commission opening (due Aug. 17) and Parks & Recreation Board openings with applications due Sept. 11.
