A quick round of voting led to the approval to start several key projects around the city during last week’s city commission meeting. Thanks to Veterans Day, City Hall opened its doors Tuesday night rather than Monday for the scheduled meeting. Though only a consent agenda and reports were on the schedule, several pieces were set into motion.
Commissioners approved a change in the contract with C.W. Roberts Contracting, Inc., which would add additional streets to the pre-planned schedule of repairs for the current fiscal year. This is not the first time the city has found wiggle room in the budget to add more of the “low hanging fruit” to the lineup. However, City Manager Bill McDaniel said the city will soon run out of easy options when it comes to simple repairs.
