During a recent City Council meeting, significant updates were provided regarding the Fourth Street and Bryant project, with plans to move forward on September 23rd. The project has faced challenges due to groundwater issues, described as \"oatmeal underneath,\" which has necessitated continuous pumping to dry out the area for excavation. Silver Star Construction is set to begin work on Monday, with an alternative method identified to create an acceptable base for the construction materials.

Additionally, the City Manager congratulated the local Chamber of Commerce for the success of the recent Grillstock event held at Buck Thomas Park, noting its high attendance and plans for expansion next year. The police and fire departments were also acknowledged for their contributions to the event's success.

The meeting concluded with a motion to enter an executive session to discuss a pending claim against the city, filed by Randall Polk on behalf of Connor Beatty. The council unanimously voted to convene in executive session to address this legal matter.
