The Elizabethtown City Council met for a special meeting Monday.
The council approved a municipal order which accepted a $1,846,000 bid from Dirt Works Unlimited for the Diecks Drive Improvement Phase One Project. Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory noted that this phase of the project is actually for work on Village Drive.
“We budgeted $2 million for this project and it came in about $150,000 under budget, which is always a good thing, and it’s going to be new road, new sidewalks, stormwater projects, and we’re going to clean that up and make it really nice down through there, so we’re excited about this project, especially since it came in under budget,” Gregory said.
The council also approved four municipal orders approving bids for paint (Pennington Properties – $19,750), audio/visual equipment (Stilwell Sound LLC – $73,179.58), carpet (Corvin’s Floor and Cabinets – $16,901.28), and a wall partition (Hub City Glass and Mirror – $17,500) at the new city council chambers, which will be quasi-temporarily located at 212 West Dixie Avenue.
“We intend to be there for probably five to six years while we work on our new City Hall campus downtown, where E-Town Laundry is right now,” Gregory said. “It’s gonna be the start of what we’re going to start building down there eventually, but we want to have nice chambers and one that’s accommodating to the public, and that’s why we’re working on the old Basketball Hall of Fame building.”
A municipal order approving easements and right-of-ways for the Commerce Drive Roadway Project was also approved.
The first reading was held on an ordinance that corrects the city ordinance concerning signage on scenic parkways to replace Miles Street with Saint John Road. The first reading was also held on an ordinance amending the city’s natural gas ordinance, including new rates.
“For section 51.20, the general rate will be $10,” said City Attorney Ken Howard, reading from the ordinance. “The base rate will be $3.44 per MCF. Section 51.21, the heat rate, the facility charge will be $10. The base rate will be $4.47 per MCF.”
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet October 20.
