Repairs to exterior of city hall completed
The repairs to the exterior of Lisbon City Hall were completed, and Lisbon city administrator Brandon Siggins recommended paying the contractor $31,634.97.
“There’s some minor work on the flashing of the east end of the building, but the majority of repairs for the exterior and siding have been completed, and I’ll approve the paying of the retainer for 30 days from now.
O’Connor asked if there is a warranty on the siding that was replaced, and Siggins said that was confirmed.
Overlay project begins this week
A pre-construction meeting on the Business 30 overlay project from the west city limits of Lisbon to the roundabout in Mount Vernon took place Monday of this week. The project is slated to begin Tuesday, Sept. 3, according to Mount Vernon city administrator Chrs Nosbisch, and traffic may be reduced to one lane.
Lisbon and Mount Vernon city engineer David Schechinger said the project should take a couple weeks for the contractors to complete.
Millings from the roadway will be used at the parking lot at Bunting Field, as well as through several alleys in the City of Lisbon, Siggins said.
Public works projects completed in Lisbon
The Lisbon public works department concluded painting street curbs ahead of Sauerkraut Days, but work will finish on painting the parking lines in downtown Lisbon after the festival.
Bagby also said the City of Lisbon has completed the installation of two new pieces of equipment at the Lisbon City Park ahead of Sauerkraut Days.
One of the pieces of equipment is ADA-compliant.
Parks and recreation director Drayton Kamberling said this has been a project between parks and recreation and the Be Original 4-H club, with the club fundraising a portion of the proceeds for the equipment.
“The students in 4-H also got some hands-on work as part of the project, helping to build a few handcap accessible picnic benches as a part of the project,” Kamberling said. “It was great to work with them, and this was a cool project to partner with them on.”
