Summary

Superintendent Chris Remick said a preconstruction meeting with IDOT was held and work on the Spotsylvania Street project should begin this week with a projected completion of Dec. 13. He also described plans for a sewer repair at Van Buren St. and removal work at the Riverhouse/marina.

Superintendent of Public Works Chris Remick told the board that he and Mayor Behnken attended a preconstruction meeting with IDOT for the Spotsylvania Street project and that work "should be starting this week," with a projected finish date of Dec. 13. Remick said the crew will rent a concrete breaker for $750 per day to address a sewer repair at Van Buren St. and Spotsylvania St., though he noted that a local resident, Steve Galle, said his equipment could be used at no cost.

Remick also reported that crews have been working on the Riverhouse/marina removal and that some trees at Okaw Valley Park have been removed as part of public property work. The board did not record specific project budgets or contractor names in the meeting minutes beyond the IDOT preconstruction meeting and the rental cost cited for the breaker.
