Hi everyone! This one's a little late. I hope all the kids went to Breakfast With Santa yesterday! I was in the back busy printing pictures of those that visited with the REAL Santa - yup, we had the real Santa there! Thanks to everyone that made it happen!
For the real news! TxDot awarded the project to do the intersection improvements at SH 71 and Serene Hills Drive to Capital Excavation. The project will probably start in late January or early February. I'll share the actual schedule as soon as it is available.
After ZAPCO again turned down the Special Use Application for Speedy Stop, they are withdrawing their application. This officially means this project is dead.
The Charter Review Committee is working toward a recommendation to the City Council for proposed changes to the city charter. It is not finalized at this time but it looks like there will be several changes. The plan is to have it to the council in February so it can be on the ballot in the May election.
Ramming Paving completed one day of a three day crack sealing contract that involved putting sealer in almost four miles of cracks located mostly on Lohman's Crossing between the fire station and Hurst Creek. This doesn't look real good but is necessary to help extend the life of the pavement. We are working on plans and a cost estimate for reconstruction of the road in this area.
The City continues to monitor the failure on Rough Hollow Rd. The developer has an engineered restoration plan and intends to start construction as soon as possible. More as this saga continues!
Chief Radford has promoted Benny Reid from Dispatch Supervisor to a newly created position of Police Manager. He will supervise and administer most of the civilian functions of the department including dispatch and the investigations division. Chief Radford thinks this is a great fit and we are looking forward to further utilizing his skills!
The police department is preparing to hire two new officers, our new patrol car is inn and we are waiting on a new patrol truck.
Thats all for today! Thanks for all the support!
