PUBLIC WORKS Public Works Director Tom Wooddell updated the Board that he
had purchased 4 old hay wagons for$400 and repurposed them
to be used as material spreader racks to protect the material
spreader equipment from being outside and weathering during the
off season. Racks specifically made for such a purpose are
approximately $2,000 each. Wagon pictures were shared to show
the repurposing process. Wooddell also had pictures of a large
cottonwood tree along Interurban trail that was dead and needed
cut down. The trunk made two large 20 ft. logs weighing a total of
approximately 6,000 lbs that were taken to Gower to a pallet
sawmill. The City was paid $284.00, which helps offset the cost
of the wagons. Kudos was given to Public Works Director
Wooddell for his ingenuity.
LEVEE BOARD Alderman Super commented there will be a meeting tomorrow and
City staff will attend as well, to discuss the sill on Gateway.
