The committee recommended that the city pay for and install new signs and paint the parking spaces. The Methodist Church will be given permission to install new curb cuts at their own expense. A motion was made by Bill Scott to approve this recommendation. Thomas Davis abstained advising that he was a member of the Methodist Church. City Manager Emory Stephens advised that engineers had inspected the Sky Country road and recommended that a retaining wall be built or that the road be moved.
Cost estimates are to be submitted for both options.
These will be submitted to the Street Committee. Mr. Stephens also asked City Attorney Doug Parks about the options for requiring a bond to insure roads are not torn up by large trucks when new construction is being performed. Mr. Parks advised that there is no precedent for an ordinance for this and he will continue to work on a draft ordinance. The council was also informed that the DOT has not repaired the street next to Freddy Welch's new building. This was to be coordinated with the DOT by NGC officials.
