In June, Empire offered to install the light poles and lights for $42,500, providing that the city excavate roughly 2,500 cubic feet of trench for two transformers and the poles.<\/p>\n
The plan would entail installing three lights on South Sligo and four lights on Seventh Street near South Madison Street.<\/p>\n
While the city didn\u2019t budget for this project specifically this year, City Manager Shane Hale said some funds can moved from the Industrial Park expansion project that likely won\u2019t be completed by the end of the fiscal year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had capital, we had budgeted this year, I think $800,000 for the development of the industrial park, while we do want to get going on that this fall, but I know there\u2019s no way we\u2019re going to finish it this year. There\u2019s no way we\u2019re going to spend that money this year,\u201d said Hale.<\/p>\n
When the project was discussed at the June city council workshop, questions were raised about the possibility of connecting the sidewalk from the Seventh Street bridge to the path in front of school on south Sligo. Public Works director Phil Johnson said construction estimates for a 7-foot-wide sidewalk to connect and finish the path came in at $26,350. Approximately, $4,000 of that work can be done by the Public Works Department. The remainder will be funded by the city\u2019s concrete cost share program.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to do everything we can in-house to keep those costs down,\u201d said Johnson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
