CITY COUNCIL
-Continuedfrom PAGE ONE Cutsforth, who said the
“ I am not in good
en o u g h h e a lth to get
aggressive about this to
get it done myself,” she
later told the G azette-
Times, “and I felt it was
the city and the engineers’
responsibility to make this
right.”
She a ls o c a lle d
R e p r e s e n ta tiv e G re g
Smith’s office and told one
of Smith’s associate about
the problem.
C ity M anager Kim
Cutsforth told the council
that engineers had gone
down Water Street during
th e p ro je c t p la n n in g
stage, and talked to all
the home owners about
their driveway entrances,
but for some reason had
missed McDaniel’s home.
Therefore when the curbs
and gutters were put in, no
driveway entranced was
installed. Cutsforth said she
had called Ferguson about
the issue and they were
supposed to have someone
here Tuesday to look at the
problem, which they did.
“ I am e n o rm o u sly
happy about how this came
out,” McDaniel repeatedly
told the G azette-Tim es
Tuesday.
In other business the
council heard a report
from City Manager Kim
Barratt Blvd. project was
alm ost com pleted with
landscaping and paint on
the barriers and handrails
the only remaining things
to do. The lights on the
stairway had been installed
and were working.
The B a ltim o r e
walkway to the grade school
stairs had been completed,
Cutsforth said, except for
irrigation and gravel. The
lights are up and working
on Lovers Land Bridge. She
said the Elder and Quaid
Street curbing has been
started and sidewalks will
be put in this week. She
said if the paving does not
get done before bad weather
sets in the paving will be
put off until next spring and
the city will have a couple
of gravel streets until then.
Cutsforth said work has
begun on the Sperry Street
bridge project, but that
removal of the bridge will
actually be the last thing
done on the project.
She also reported that
there was no financial
statement to give the city
council because the city
was having trouble with
its accounting software.
Cutsforth reported that an
easement to one of the city
water reservoirs had been
purchased and recorded
