The resurfacing of Route 246 is now on the Missouri Department of Transportation's radar, Matthew Stein of the DOT told the Sheridan City Council Monday, August 4th. The road received a temporary fix two years ago, but it is starting to crumble again, especially near Hopkins. That brought up the topic of overhauling the parking lot in front of the storefront. It was commonly believed at the city for at least 20 years that the DOT owned the parking lot as well as the road itself; however, no deeds to that effect have been found. The DOT is believed to own the tubes running under 246 from 6th Street to the railroad; however, no deeds have been found besides one for 6th Street.
The council voted to reopen the road at 4th & Crescent that it had closed at July meeting. The city's barricades came down the next day. However, the posts on the portion of the area that Jerry and Valerie Rauch say they own and that had been encroached on by traffic using the road over the years remained up with a rope barrier added. The council tabled further discussion of the issue until all council members could be present.
Barry Lyle reported that city's water tower was inspected. The inspectors said that the tower needs to be drained and cleaned.
The county will haul rock for 6th Street soon.
The city will seek reimbursement for expenses in replacing a tube on the south side of town on 4th Street as well as the roof replacement at the outhouse in the park, among other projects, following President Donald Trump's disaster declaration for Worth and other counties for damage from storms in June. The council authorized Abby Hawk to work on the project.
The city put in a new water main for a customer, for which it will be reimbursed.
The tax rate hearing will be held on Monday, August 24th at 6:00 pm.
