Ila may seek grant for well
The town of Da will likely seek
a grant to help it drill a backup
well for the water system.
The city councD heard a
proposal from engineer Chris
Quigley last week to prepare an
engineering report that will pro
vide a detailed outline of the city’s
needs. Quigley said he could pro
duce the report for $5,000 and
that his specialty is grant writing.
Quigley also requested that he
be named the city’s engineer, but
said that the title will not cost the
city any money.
The council took no action on
the matter, but asked city attorney
Pat Graham to review proposed
contracts Quigly brought with
him and contact the Madison
County Industrial Development
and Budding Authority about
work that Quigley is currently
doing for them. Graham is to
report his findings to Mayor
Mike Code.
If no problems are found
or questions arise, Code was
instructed to hire Quigley.
In a related matter, the councd
continues to review a proposed
stormwater ordinance and wdl
have Quigley review it, if he is
hired.
City clerk Susan Steed agreed
to find out if Waste Pro garbage
codection keeps recycling records
aftercouncilmanNathanielHobbs
asked if residents are recycling.
