Item D Councilman Jonathon Hisey addressed the council There was a check cut for the road grader repair. Total of $44,380. We were quoted at $33,750. Why was it more than what we were quoted? Public Works Director Doug Baustert addressed the council Once the work was started on the grader, a couple of other things needed fixed as well like the water pump. It was the motor that was repaired. The wiring harness needed done. It now has a new motor, but it is not a new grader. Councilman Ron Cardwell addressed the council We pretty much have a new grader. Staff needs to look at the number of street lights we are paying for. We need to make sure that the amount we are being billed for is the correct amount. We need to make sure we are paying for these out of the correct places as well - not general funds. The schools should pay for their one street signs, City’s don't usually pay that.

It has been three months since the road election. I hope now that we have a full council again, we are looking into new ideas and funding for street projects. I do hope we get storage for the public works equipment. The streets downtown need to be cleaned up, roads and all. Melissa Purves addressed the council I want to talk about item b, the only road to get to my house. Citizens in this neighborhood paid for roads. We waited to see if anything could and would happen to help with these roads, and sometimes waiting works, we have waited and now we need some type of repair. We need our road stable like 164th. No loose gravel. County has agreed to help Piedmont save money. We don't want to dive in the ditches. Public Works Director Doug Baustert addressed the council We are going to put an asphalt overlay on that road. We will be working on that road. 10.
