MONROE - In a meeting Monday, the City of Monroe Board of Public Works:
• Recommended to Council to review and accept bids and award contract for the streetlights for the downtown streetscape project.
• Authorized the sale of an unused 1978 Chevrolet step van.
• Authorized the sale of an 1988 International truck with bio-solids spreader. The unit was replaced last year.
• Recommended to Council to levy special assessments for 2008 sidewalk repair.
• Review and accept quotes for painting the swimming pool and authorize Coplien Painting to perform the work. Alderman Mark Coplien abstained from the discussion and vote.
• Recommended to Council to approve a change order for the streetscape project contract with E & N Hughes to install a handicapped accessible ramp in the 1100 block of 16th Avenue. City Engineer Al Gerber estimated the cost at between $6,000 and $10,000. The recommendation is based on the exact cost being submitted by Council meeting Tuesday.
• Reiterated that costs of replacing the steps on the north side of the Square have not been determined yet. Removal of the steps began Aug. 4. Council President Dan Henke said when contractor bills are submitted, they will come through the board first.
"The priority was to get the businesses up and running," he said.
Alderman Thurston Hanson was absent.
