During a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing infrastructure projects and their implications for local businesses and residents. A key topic was the cautious approach to managing drainage issues on a property that may be transferred to the city in the future. Officials expressed a preference for the current owners to handle the site, citing concerns about potential complications.

The meeting also highlighted the final phase of a three-year maintenance contract with Bennett Paving, focusing on improvements to the east end of Main Street. City representatives emphasized the importance of coordinating with local businesses and the school district to minimize disruptions during the busy holiday shopping season. They plan to schedule construction during school breaks and avoid peak shopping times to support local commerce.

Bennett Paving is expected to complete the project in three days, weather permitting, with a detailed plan for repairs and lane management. Officials expressed confidence in the contractor's capabilities and noted that the project is projected to remain under budget, with costs expected to be below $500,000. The meeting concluded with a call for further updates from city staff on related matters.
