Committee declines to accept Rimini Drive until housing authority answers concerns

City of Virden Public Works Committee · May 21, 2026

Summary

Public Works recommended not accepting Rimini Drive, citing Fire Chief concerns about emergency access and unanswered issues from the Macoupin County Housing Authority; the committee reached consensus to withhold acceptance.

Director Gary Etter recommended the city not accept Rimini Drive, telling the committee he reviewed the contract and consulted the Fire Chief, who also expressed concern that emergency vehicles might not have true access if the city accepted the road. Etter said outstanding items raised at the April 16 meeting to the Macoupin County Housing Authority remain unanswered.

The committee reached consensus to withhold acceptance of Rimini Drive until the Macoupin County Housing Authority addresses the outstanding issues. No formal motion to accept the road was made; the committee directed staff to seek responses from the housing authority before further action.
