Veterans Park: Wednesday October 24th the Park staff along with the Downtown staff planted and mulched 21 trees which completes This project.The addition to the sprinkler system has been completed and we have received the bill. Courthouse: The Courthouse step renovation and washing started on Tuesday October 23rd.The contractor is working around the court schedule to not cause a distraction for the courts.The roofing mastic that was used on the steps is a petroleum base product and has soaked deep into the limestone walls making it impossible to completely remove. The contractors have remove as much as possible but it will still be visible on the limestone walls.The contractor hopes to complete the project in 3 to 4 weeks. Parking Lot: The south half of the parking lot was poured Saturday October 20th. During this past week new sidewalks have been poured to finish this area before starting on the North half. During the pouring on Saturday the parking lot light wire was broken by the contractor.There will be no cost to repair the wire as is. Supervisor Quandt has asked Steve and myself to look at running the wire underground. An estimate provided by Middleton Electric to install an underground wire to the pole is$1643.00 Federal Building: I asked Midcontinent Restoration to look at the Federal Building front steps and ramp.According to them, the front steps are a pre-cast product and not limestone as previously thought and can be repaired. I asked them to get a firm number on the cost for them to perform the work that needs to be done. The park was closed for camping season Sunday October 14th.The employees at the park have been cleaning and painting the restrooms Mulching leaves between rains and cleaning up flower beds.
