In Butler City Council news, they’re trying to stay ahead of the
problems and right now they’re looking at street improvements slated for next spring and summer. Right now, they’re looking at Nursery Street from the Fairgrounds to Business 49/71... Fulton Street from Nursery to Fort Scott…High Street from Nursery to Fort Scott…Pine Street from Business 49/71 to Mechanic, and from Prospect to the railroad. They’ll also be doing micro-seals on several streets as the weather permits next spring and summer.
In his memorandum for the meeting, Butler City Administrator Mark Arbuthnot, noted that Pine Street from Mechanic to the cemetery doesn’t require milling and overlay, and is included under streets to be micro sealed. Bids on the work to be done will be put out to bid in January.
Elizabeth Ogg, the new Bates County Economic Developer, was at the
Council meeting. We’ve told you in earlier newscasts that she will be
looking for ways to increase job opportunities in the county. She’s
already at work, and in fact has made progress with a business that
would relocate her in Bates County. She’ll be having public meetings
which we’ll announce to you as they come up.
The Butler Police Department will buy one more vehicle to make a total of three hey’re putting into service…the Butler City Council approved a new Dodge Charger which will be picked up in St. Louis, and two others vehicles had been approved last August and have been ordered, so they’ll be along soon. They were purchased through Max Motors under the state bid price. It was time. Old age and high mileage was getting to some of the police cars, which must be ready 24 hours a day.
