The Council discussed the urgency of the project, noting the requirement for completion by April 3rd to meet the grant’s conditions. The total cost of the project is $170,000, with the city only incurring $20,000 of that, leveraging the grant to cover the majority of expenses. The base bid includes Second and Fourth Streets, with an alternate phase for First Street, which could be substituted if necessary due to the project’s quick turnaround. The rapid schedule and the significant price differential between the city’s cost and the total project value were of particular interest during the discussion.

The meeting encountered a momentary pause due to a lack of quorum when a council member had to briefly step away, but it resumed shortly thereafter. Once a quorum was reestablished, the resolution was moved, seconded, and unanimously passed by the present council members. Additionally, the Council held a public comment session, where no members of the public chose to speak.
