*No action on uptown the restrooms, discussion only. The bathrooms are needed for the tourists and will benefit our uptown merchants. We made an offer to a local resident for his empty lot uptown but he rejected the offer. The restrooms will be located behind Super City Antiques on city property. Aldermen’s Chuck Short and Mike Hall along with the Mayor are making this happen before the Annual Superman Celebration. Discussion of changing the parking to angle versus parallel to accommodate more vehicles, no decision was made. The carnival during the Superman Celebration will be held at the Riverfront this year due to new business construction at the old Clark School location.
Frank Walsh at the WWTP stated it has been since 2007 that the pump has been worked on. The bearing is going out and needs permission to proceed with repairs with Cardinal Pumps out of Saint Louis.
Moved by Alderman Charles Barfield and Second by Alderman David McManus to recommend to the full Council to take action to proceed on issue with High Service Pump #2;
