| Cody Thompson gives City Manager's report to the Council. |
The Council also moved to receive letters of intent to operate the City Swimming Pool this summer. So far, the field is open to qualified people who are interested. The Council will decide on its choice of operators at the next City Council meeting on May 12. For more information, contact City Hall during business hours at 325-766-3871.
City Manager Cody Thompson reported to the Council that work has begun on the east wall of Memorial Park, which will improve the stability, longevity, and looks of the wall. The surface will be stucco on a metal lathe.
The dry and warmer weather has allowed the Water Treatment Plant and line improvements to catch up to schedule. The Water Treatment Plant is now hooked up, but won’t become operational until mid May to early June. Water line improvements will begin in three to four weeks, and bids for work on sanitary sewer lines will go out in the next three to four months. RISD is planning water and sewer improvements for the new STEM building west of town.
Construction on the sewer line at Young Farm Estates continues, and within the next thirty days, work will begin on the Stone Tower RV Park in north Roscoe. The RV park near the City barn and the baseball field in east Roscoe will soon have six self-contained rental units like those across the street from the Community Center at the Plowboy Center Lodge.
The Council declined a contractor’s offer to build the three new homes financed and approved by the Texas Department of Community Affairs. The low bid was $83,000 each, which is $3000 too high, so the Council moved for a re-bid.
