Meanwhile, an electric line is shading portions of the solar complex, and the City is putting it underground. The Solar Farm is nearly ready to start producing electricity.
The Heise-Meyer company, the Real Estate agency in contract with Butler concerning promoting city property in the Industrial Park, has asked for an extension of its agreement, moving it to February of 2018.
Also on the Council agenda was accepting the low bids on street work in the 700 block of West Pine. Sprouls Construction of Lamar will start the job. Vance Brothers of Kansas City got the micro-sealing portion of the project and Blevins Asphalt of Mount Vernon was awarded the bid for the asphalt overlay.
Bids are due by March 14th for work at Butler Memorial Airport, and those bids will open in March 18th.
The City of Butler is purchasing new membranes for the Water Plant. They’re used to clarify the water residents use. The Council is getting in compliance with the requirements to be done by October of this year.
Steven McSperitt was at the Council meeting, representing Butler’s West Central Warriors semi-pro football team, asking permission to use the Little League Football and Soccer area, for their use this fall, and the Council gave the ok.
In other activity, The Park Board approved pool hours and swimming lessons for the summer season, and also approved compliance to state statutes in the city’s alcohol and drugs ordinances. These changes are not major and only to remain within state code.
One other thing of interest, The Butler Police Department reported that Butler’s 9-1-1 equipment went on the blink Friday and was temporarily replaced while it was repaired. If repairing it isn’t possible, new equipment may need to be purchased.
It’s always good to know the system works. A residence received a new telephone with readout for the hard-of-hearing and dialed 9-1-1 by mistake as they tested the new phone. A police officer was at the door within three or four minutes and didn’t take the word of those who answered the door but wanted to see the one for which the call was said to be
made.
