(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening approved two curb and gutter repair projects.

Acting on the recommendation of Public Works Director Dominic Grier, the Commission approved authorizing J & B Contractors to complete work on the curb and gutter at 2nd and Oregon Streets for a total cost of $18,964.

Also the Commission approved having J & B Contractors remove and replace 344 feet of curb and gutter between Cherokee and Kansas Avenue on the east side of the street, and remove and replace the alley approach between the two streets for a total cost of $14,848.

In other business, Daren Ronnebaum, owner of Precision Aerial Ag, in Seneca, appeared before the Commission to discuss a proposal for a long-term lease of the old hangars at the city airport.

He said he works quite a bit in the Hiawatha area in the summer and would like to use the hanger facility for chemical storage.

Ronnebaum said electricity and water would be needed. He said he would be willing to make needed repairs to the facility, including installing new doors.

The Commission was receptive to his proposal, but lease details will need to be worked out.

Also City Administrator Brad Scott informed the Commission that he had accepted a bid from Aller's LLC for the demolition of a derelict house at 310 Hiawatha Avenue in the amount of $8,700.
