Spring Hill officials are committing additional tap fees for the completion of Commonwealth Drive, provided the contractor completes the project by mid-October.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted 7-0 to approve about $16,500 in additional tap fees to Tennessee Contractors Inc. to push forward the completion of Commonwealth Drive with the caveat that Tennessee Contractors execute the agreement by July 18. The board also required Tennessee Contractors to have the project complete by Oct. 16.

Mayor Rick Graham was not at the Monday meeting.

Alderman Chad Whittenburg proposed an amendment that failed 5-2 to not increase any tap fees for the project. Only Whittenburg and Alderman Eliot Mitchell voted for the amendment.

Whittenburg said contributing additional fees is a tough pill to swallow for him because the city has already contributed $343,000 in tap fees and seen deadlines on the project past.

Our $343,000 could already be pulled away because the contract wasnt met, he said. I have problems contributing additional money because we (the city) are going to pave the road, stripe it and then all the people who were originally partners in the game are going to benefit from it. There is still money to be made by every party in this agreement, regardless of what we add.

Alderman Susan Zemek said Commonwealth Drive is too important to the future of the city. She said it is hard for emergency crews to get to the Longview Recreation Center and elementary school on Commonwealth Drive because the road is not complete.

Though his amendment failed, Whittenburg said he wants to see the city hold contractors more accountable in the future.

I understand there were some unfortunate circumstances, but we as a board on several other instances have established a precedence that we do not hold consultants and contractors accountable for the contractors we write with them, Whittenburg said. At some point, we have to start being accountable The economy was not what set this in motion. Really, it was (Tennessee Contractors) not having it done by the prior agreement

The city originally pledged about $343,000 in tap fees to Tennessee Contractors when construction of the final phase of the roadway was originally proposed, which would allow the contractor to recoup money spent by getting permit discounts when water and sewer is installed to developments along the road.

Leading Aluminium Gutters Installer bespokeguttering.co.uk to Begin a Rigorous Expansion of Its Workforce

GOSHEN Those used to parking in the subdivision of Larimer Greens and condos on Goshens west side will have to find somewhere else to park during the Celebrate America festivities celebrating the 4th of July.

Goshen Board of Works and Safety members Monday approved a request by Goshen Police Chief Wade Branson for a temporary order for no parking in the Larimer Greens subdivision from 8 a.m. to midnight July 6.

According to Branson, the temporary order will include all city streets in the area encompassed by the following roadways but not including: Berkey Avenue, Green Road, Plymouth Avenue and Indiana Avenue.

The request is to allow parking on one side of the street but not the other as determined by the Goshen Street Department, Branson said. The reason for the request is to ensure fire and other emergency vehicles can access these roads during the Celebrate America event and fireworks. It is anticipated that a very large number of vehicles will be attending this event. By limiting the parking to one side, we can have a path for fire and medical access to neighbors and visitors to the event.

The request was approved unanimously.

Other business

In other business, the board approved:

A request by John and Linda Sorg, 817 S. Seventh St., Goshen, for participation in the citys sidewalk and curb 50/50 program to replace their sidewalk and curb. Total cost for the project is $1,680, with the citys portion set at $840.

An agreement with Tractor Supply Co. to remove an inoperable and unrepairable private fire hydrant on the companys property, 2323 Lincolnway East, Goshen. City workers will then install a new public fire hydrant on an existing public main located just south of the companys property. All work will be done at the citys expense.

An agreement with Shane McKerchie where McKerchie will serve a minimum of six years as a paramedic with the Goshen Fire Department. Pursuant to this agreement, McKerchie would receive a one-time bonus in the amount of $7,500. McKerchie was hired by the department on May 14, 2012, and received his paramedic certification on May 19, 2014.

DIXON As work on the downtown streetscape continues, more road closures are expected for this week.

According to information from the engineering firms:

On the east side of the project, work on the retaining wall on Ottawa Avenue will continue, in addition to storm and water service installation in various areas of the project.

On Tuesday, the south side of First Street, from Galena to Crawford avenues, will be closed for sawcutting.

Also on First Street, sidewalk installation will begin between Galena and Hennepin avenues.

On the west side of the project, work will continue on South Peoria Avenue, between First and Third streets, including curb and gutter installation between Second and Third streets.

On Peoria Avenue, between First and Second streets, work is expected to include the removal of roadway pavement and portions of sidewalks to install water mains, which will require the east side of the street to be closed.

Short-term closures of the west side of the street will be done as necessary, according to information provided by the engineering firms.

Q Please tell me that the new lane striping on Highway 101 between Highway 85 and the Embarcadero/Oregon exit is temporary. The width of the left shoulder is large and the right shoulder is narrow and includes concrete slabs every couple of hundred feet that stick up about an inch and a half. ... Please, please, please tell me that crews made an error striping the lanes between San Antonio and Oregon onto 101. There is no on and off lane between these interchanges and the left side is two lanes wide!

Bob Greene, Chinchu Sup and James Richardson

A Relax, this is not permanent. Caltrans installed temporary markers after a paving job. The final striping will have an auxiliary lane between interchanges and should be in place by Aug. 1.

Q What the heck is going on with Highway 9 between Saratoga and Skyline Boulevard? We're down to one lane in a couple of places.

Karen Armstrong

A There is a lot of work planned for Highway 9, from the mountains above Saratoga into Los Gatos. Caltrans is upgrading the road to improve sight distance, adding a metal guardrail and warning signs, and widening shoulders and existing lanes to 12 feet.

The first area of work has about 1,000 feet of K-rail, with one-way traffic control south of Skyline. Bicyclists can slide in behind vehicles and ride through the single lane or they can hit the manual button that will allow them to pass through safely and before the light changes on the other side. The second location will have K-rail installed toward the end of this month to Saratoga and the winery. Work will take two years.

Now into Los Gatos.

Q Starting this week, Los Gatos will have a project on Highway 9 at University Avenue in full swing. This will lead to delays. It includes new traffic signal installation, paving, replacing the sidewalk and curb and gutter, and installation of new ramps.

PRESS RELEASE

League City is to enact Stage 3 of the Citys Drought Contingency Plan from midnight to midnight on Tuesday, June 17 and Tuesday, June 24.

This stage is to be enacted due to on-going construction of the Citys largest water distribution facility located at 18530 State Highway 3 in Webster. The construction will require two major shutdowns of the 42 water line, which delivers approximately 80 percent of the Citys surface water supply. This construction-related activity is necessary for the installation of multiple isolation valves needed for construction to continue. The shutdowns are scheduled to occur on Tuesday, June 17 and Tuesday, June 24 and are expected to last 10-16 hours each and water rationing is necessary during the shutdowns. Both dates are subject to change, based on weather or unforeseen circumstances.

Residents are asked to limit water to essential indoor use only on these days. The Drought Contingency Plan lists several mandatory restrictions. Violators could face fines of $500 plus court costs each day that one or more restriction is violated.

Below are the water rationing restrictions for Stage 3 of the Citys Drought Contingency Plan:

Irrigation of landscaped areas is absolutely prohibited.

Use of water to wash any motor vehicle, motorcycle, 4-wheeler, boat, trailer, airplane or other vehicle is absolutely prohibited. Commercial car washes that utilize water recycling are allowed to continue to operate.

Use of water to wash down any sidewalk, walkway, driveway, parking lot, tennis court, or other hard surface area is absolutely prohibited.

Flushing of gutters or permitting water to run or accumulate in any gutter or street is absolutely prohibited.

Washing down any building or structure for purposes other than immediate fire protection is absolutely prohibited.
