Aug 1 Council Meeting

Well we started with 3 council members, another got there 2 minutes late, and another one 25 minutes later. The first 6 items on the agenda went pretty quickly.

We heard that the water tower painting should begin sometime around the 8th. Work on replacing the concrete on Bryan Ave should be starting within a couple weeks. We will be installing better water drainage underneath. Also, we are getting quotes for asphalting the north part of Logan Street.

The installation of the diamonds has begun in Britson Park. Tile was installed under the diamonds. They are now being dug out to put gravel underneath, and then the field surface will go on top.

We had a discussion about the soil sampling that went on along the proposed path of the trunk sewer line. Frankly it was a cluster. Drillings did not go where they were supposed to. And the samplers ended up on people's yards that did not give permission to do so. I'm not pleased how this went down. We need to figure out how to prevent that in the future.

We also found out that one of our council members, Chad Proctor, will be leaving Roland for a new job in Missouri. Not really sure when that will happen. But if you have an interest in the city council, let me know. The city council will have to appoint a replacement when Chad officially resigns.

  2. We will need a council replacement. The council can decide to appoint, or hold an election. If you are interested in the job, let me or a council member know. I've already had a couple people inquire.
