City Engineer Damon Johnson addressed the council with his monthly report. Mr. <br />Johnson said the city street crews were still cleaning up debris from last Friday <br />nights storm. Most of the damage was due to severe flash floods. He said a <br />portion of Broadwater Lane collapsed due to the rain and street crews are working <br />on those repairs as well. <br />Both utility plants are running well. He said he will be concentrating on the Water <br />Treatment Plant Master Plan throughout this year. He said the “repaint” of the <br />Eagle Mountain water tank is about half way completed. The crews have been <br />concentrating on the outside of the tank during the mild weather conditions so far <br />this winter. The city’s logo is being placed on the East and West sides of the tank <br />with the West side logo recently completed. <br />The Section Contract III sewer line project has been delayed with engineering <br />issues but hopefully will be put out to bid in early spring. The Hwy 106 utility line <br />relocation is ready to go out for bids. <br />st <br />The Corp of Engineers are expected to start around the 1 of February on the bank <br />stabilization project at Riverside Park. Mr. Johnson said the pedestrian bridge will <br />be removed for the work to be done but replaced once it is completed. <br />C) FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT <br />Fire Chief Brent Gleghorn addressed the council and showed them a couple of the <br />new body armor jackets that the council approved to purchase a few months back. <br />Chief Gleghorn said they are made of steel and have a 10 year life span. <br />The Chief said in his report that in 2019 his department responded to the <br />Independence County Jail 19 times due to inmates damaging fire sprinkler heads. <br /> <br />
