Grant City had a cleanup day on September 26th. Now, the city is intensifying its efforts to help people clean up the town as the Baptist Church secured cooperation with the city for a volunteer cleanup day on October 24th at the regular Grant City Council Meeting Wednesday. On that day, volunteers will go to various residents' houses and help them clean their yards. The city will be a central planning center for the efforts, and the brush dump will be open that day. Wanda Fletchall of the church said that they were busy enlisting other churches and organizations in the effort. She said that the goal was to hold this event twice a year.
Water Superintendent Caleb Moyer said that the water truck was having transmission issues and that it would cost around $1,800 to rebuild. The city is in the process of getting bids to repair the baby pool. The main pool also needs repairs; they are covered under warranty. The city will have a special meeting on October 1st to take bids for the baby pool.
Public Works Director Carl Staton reported that city crews have been cutting brush, especially on the road leading past Crestwood to the school. They have also patched potholes and repaired the drive leading to Dollar General.
The city proclaimed October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the week of September 17th to 23rd as US Constitution Week.
Clerk Ayvonne Morin reported that major repairs would need to be made on the city hall building roof, which she said was leaking during downpours. It leaks in the middle area and she said she had to put out buckets. The furnace, which was put in back in the 1980's, will also need replacing.
Worth Treatin' will be held on October 25th this year.
