Grant City Considers $300,000 Bond Issue to Finish Streets

Grant City is considering pushing a $300,000 bond issue in order to finish doing the streets. It would be put on the April ballot.

The council agreed to move Dale Saville's water meter closer to his home.

Fall cleanup will be September 26th this year.

The pool is closed for the year; the final day was August 18th, the day before school starts.

Dora Martz of the Student Council requested and got permission from the city to close streets for the September 11th Homecoming. The parade will be 1:30 and will go past the Worth County Convalescent Center before proceeding to the south side of the Square. The parade will go clockwise along the Square before returning to the school.

The coronation will be held Thursday night along with a powder puff game. Speaking for the cheerleaders, Ms. Martz requested and got permission for the school to shoot fireworks following the cheerleaders' routine at the halftime show. Ben Fletcher will shoot off the fireworks. The theme this year will be "Hometown 'Merica Mashup."

Water Superintendent Caleb Moyer reported that the DNR had recommended an inspection of the water tower. The city approved Engineering America to inspect the tower for any kind of structural defects. Moyer reported that some brackets were rusted off the 7th street lift station.

Public Works Director Carl Staton reported that the city was cleaning out ditches from recent rains. The city patched potholes on School Bus Road and worked on the grader. Thieves made off with a side panel off the skid loader in broad daylight while crews were occupied. Estimate for the loss was around $360. City crews were occupied Sunday stopping a gas leak from a riser that was cut by a mower. The city will assess costs to the property owner.

Next month's meeting has been rescheduled to September 23rd.
