Public Works Report at Owen City Council Meeting
Tuesday, March 19th, 2019 -- 9:44 AM
-The Owen City Council heard the Public Works Report at their meeting last week.The Public Works Director stated there had been an enormous amount of snow removal, a water leak on 5th Street, they had to pull the pump from Lift Station #4 and now were clearing ice and snow from storm drains. The council also heard the Parks and Rec Report. They met on March 11th and voted to recommend the $28,500 bid from Lester Brubaker Construction for the renovation of the bathrooms at Crowley Park and the addition of two coin operated showers. The council will receive a final drawing and total to approve soon. The council also heard the Police Report and Treasurer’s Report. The council approved having the Deputy Clerk attend the Municipal Clerks and Treasurers Institute July 14th-19th in Green Bay at the cost of $495 plus hotel.
Under the Public Opinion portion of the meeting, one resident stated the city was doing a wonderful job removing snow, but he also feels the Quiet Zone will cost way more than it’s worth and, as his area of the city was illegally surveyed many years ago, he alone should not have to pay to have it redone. Another resident inquired as to how Deputy Clerk Tracy Rau’s employment with the city could have already been in the paper on the same Tuesday as it was approved by the council. The city clerk had responded that they had asked.
