Old Business
Evergy/Streetlight issues: Waiting for Evergy to make repairs and/or installations of new lights on existing poles.
Fire Station Repairs: The City has received two bids for the roof repairs. Mayor Moore is working on obtaining a third bid per Fishing River Fire Protection District requirements.
City Hall Doors: John Tennant’s bid to use fiberglass doors with a wood like surface on the front door at the old City Hall bid was discussed. Not everyone had seen details of the bid so a final vote was postponed. The Council agreed that, due to excessive cost, fiberglass with wood like surface is the way to go. The Clerk will resend the bid to everyone.
