Jeff Heiman –
– Revisited the alley issue and agreed that additional information regarding measurements and utilities should be known before moving forward.
Rance Roberts

– Update on Bridge on Boone St. The East side guard railing would be covered under the sidewalk project, but the West side guard rail would not be. The engineer indicated it might be more affordable to do the west side guard rail during the project and have it added as a “non-participating cost”.
