City street projects chosen for this year
The city is in discussion with its fire and police chiefs about the use of about $918,000 of state dollars after last legislative season’s bill that gave cities funding amidst the first-responder hiring crisis. The city initially heard proposals from the two chiefs that included items to help the departments. After hearing the proposal, the council discussed how else the funds could be used, such as financial incentives for officers or firefighters or the hiring of a community service officer.
