One last item Mayor Dickey brought up was the need to do ‘oil & chip’ work on streets this year. None was done last year. Atty. Marc Miller explained to council that if they want to come up with a plan and solicit bids on their own, and with a 25% supermajority vote, bidding can be overridden. Mayor Dickey suggests we consider buying Trapp rock now and store it until time to use it on the oil & chip. No action taken at this time.
