City, college will iron out who pays what on streets
Staff reporter
Hillsboro City Council was told of a disagreement Aug. 21, regarding the amount Tabor College owes to the city for recent sewer improvements.
Mayor Delores Dalke told the council that the college was billed for a sewer main extension and a share of engineering fees for a total of $9,535. The city received a letter from the college that stated college officials were unaware that the college was expected to pay a share of the engineering fees.
City clerk Jan Meisinger looked back at the minutes from the meeting of Oct. 3, 2006, which stated that the city had approved the request made by Tabor College with the college paying the actual expenses.
A break down of costs related to the project will be sent to the college.
In other business:
— An amendment and ordinance were approved by the council to request additional money from the city's Kansas Department of Transportation revolving loan fund for South Adams Street improvements.
— The council will review bids from three entities regarding the grant administration of the city's Community Development Block Grant for water line improvements.
Bids were accepted from South Central Kansas Economic Development District (SCKEDD), Pittsburg State University, and Ranson Financial Consultants.
A decision will be made at the next council meeting.
— City administrator Larry Paine was designated to serve on the Kansas Power Pool committee. Shelby Dierks will continue his appointment as the alternate.
The next regular council meeting will be at 4 p.m. Tuesday at city hall.
