(KLZA)--The Falls City Council approved moving forward with an engineering contract totaling $37,300 for an additional phase of the Natural Gas Improvement Project recommended by the Board of Public Works when they met Monday night.
City Administrator Anthony Nussbaum said the project will be between 25th and 28th Streets between Highland and Barada Streets. There are easements in the area but no open alleys and will require a large amount of boring as part of the project. A grant application has been submitted in an attempt to get some funding for the project.
Council members also passed a resolution authorizing the city to abate a nuisance home at 906 Stone Street, owned by Charley Rock and another family member who did not respond to notices from the city, so a clear title could not be obtained in order to allow the property to be donated to the Land Bank.
The City will go through the abatement project, demolish the house and then file a lien against the property.
In other business, the Council approved the closure of Lane Street from 19th Street to 26th Street on Halloween night between 5 and 9 p.m. for trick or treating.
