Rance –
– Will be assisting the township as needed because they helped the City out so much.
– Chip n’seal update: Jones street is completed, and it looks great. There were some issues with the sealant oil from another tanker that did not pass KDOT inspections, we were anticipating a wait on continuing the chip n’ seal project.

– Had Kevin relief cut the entrance to Clark street so it can be ripped out and repaired.
