This project is heading toward the final stretch and the Council expects to have the facility reopened this fall.

There were people who spoke both in favor and in opposition of fireworks in City limits.

The following resolution the City approved a resolution with Nudgers Inc. for them to oversee the project.

The Council then approved a resolution regarding  the consideration of bids for the purchase of the City’s General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds. The winning bid came in at over $4 millions dollars and with less than 1% interest. This bond will not raise any taxes.
