Streets were discussed at the regular Grant City Council Meeting Wednesday. If the city does not get enough to do all the streets from its upcoming bond issue, they will do the ones with the most traffic and most homes. Possible candidates include School Bus Road. Third street behind the Worth County Care & Rehab Center along with the street that runs by Jerry Drake's and Comish's has seen much more traffic since Casey's expanded and built a back entrance; third street is seeing a lot of truck traffic while there is also a lot of traffic that goes out to the school and Head Start. Public Works Director Carl Staton will draw up protocol for streets to be paved and bring it to the next meeting.
The council is in the process of putting on an issue to charge a use tax for out of state car sales.
Councilwoman Cathy James was named Mayor Pro Tem in Debbie Roach's absence. Staton reported that the city had cleaned up ditches, reshaped first street, and plans to reshape third street. The city put up some new signs around the school and patched potholes on the road north of the Christian Church.
Gas man Guy Fletchall reported that the boiler was burning out tubes and that it needed to be replaced. The city took bids and the council voted to award the bid to Allstate Production Equipment for a cost of $4,655. Another bid came in at over $10,000. Shipping will cost from $600 to $800 extra and the city will install it.
