Motion Gericke, second Dils to approve printed minutes and agenda. Ayes: Bartels, Gericke, Walls, Disl and Gericke. Motion carried. The City has been approved a 80-20 cost share for study and eventually improvement for Hwy#6 between Roberts Ferry and I-380. The study will consider turning lanes, underground wires, curb,gutter and sidewalk planning. The work is to be completed in cooperation with JCCOG. This is the first money available for this planning work and is necessary prior to funds for improvement of the highway. Hart reported that Tiffin is slated for construction money, but it would be difficult to say what might happen in the unusual funding times we are currently in, however, it was certain that study would preceed any construction in the area. Councilmember Bartels reported he would like to see money go for streets. Councilmember Shaffer volunteered that he could not see that all the money allotted would be needed for the study and remaining funds might be deferred to construction costs. Hart said study would need to start this year to hold allotment, however the study could extend easily a year into the future. Engineer Hart made report to council.
