In Butler City Council news, they’re trying to stay ahead of the
problems and right now they’re looking at street improvements slated for next spring and summer. Right now, they’re looking at Nursery Street from the Fairgrounds to Business 49/71... Fulton Street from Nursery to Fort Scott…High Street from Nursery to Fort Scott…Pine Street from Business 49/71 to Mechanic, and from Prospect to the railroad. They’ll also be doing micro-seals on several streets as the weather permits next spring and summer.
In his memorandum for the meeting, Butler City Administrator Mark Arbuthnot, noted that Pine Street from Mechanic to the cemetery doesn’t require milling and overlay, and is included under streets to be micro sealed. Bids on the work to be done will be put out to bid in January.
Elizabeth Ogg, the new Bates County Economic Developer, was at the
Council meeting. We’ve told you in earlier newscasts that she will be
looking for ways to increase job opportunities in the county. She’s
already at work, and in fact has made progress with a business that
would relocate her in Bates County. She’ll be having public meetings
which we’ll announce to you as they come up.
The Butler Police Department will buy one more vehicle to make a total of three hey’re putting into service…the Butler City Council approved a new Dodge Charger which will be picked up in St. Louis, and two others vehicles had been approved last August and have been ordered, so they’ll be along soon. They were purchased through Max Motors under the state bid price. It was time. Old age and high mileage was getting to some of the police cars, which must be ready 24 hours a day.
The City of Butler has closed the sale of the Industrial Park property to MC Power Companies for the development of the Solar Farm. The payment of a bit over 75 Thousand dollars has been paid.
know by now that the City will be flushing water hydrants twice, later
this month. Flushing can cause water to be colored, so put these dates
on your calendars…on Wednesday and Thursday, the 16th and 17th of thismonth, will be the first flushing, and Thursday and Friday the 24th and 25th will be the second time.
City Administrator Mark Arbuthnot said quite a number of you have
signed up for this free service, which will tell you in your email when
the City is doing something that you’ll want to know about. If you
haven’t signed up, call City Hall for where to go in your email to do it.
It’s called the “Tapecaster Service.”
