City Council approves Northwest drainage project

Published 12:00 pm Tuesday, March 26, 2024

MOULTRIE — Drainage improvements are coming to Fourth Avenue and 10th Street Northwest in an effort to reroute water away from residences.

The bid for the project was approved during the latest City Council meeting last week.

The project will cost $97,756.00, which is being funded by TSPLOST.

CE Construction of Albany will complete the work.

Also approved with a single vote during the City Council meeting were:

The service agreement with Vanesse Hagen Bristling, LLC to complete the 2024 water quality monitoring and reporting services, which involve testing for E.coli.

Consideration and approval of the first and second reading to amend both the alcoholic beverages ordinances and the utilities ordinances. According to City Attorney Mickey Waller this is simply because the company the City of Moultrie must use to complete the amendments has been behind schedule and now that the city’s request has come to the top of the list fees have changed. The forms must be updated.

Intergovernmental agreement between the Moultrie-Colquitt County Development Authority and the City of Moultrie for the sharing of an administrative employee.

Approving a budget amendment which starts the paper trail for the sale of the City of Moultrie’s two surplus firetrucks to a volunteer fire department in Tennessee to assist in payment of the recently approved burn building.

City council meetings are held twice monthly with the next meeting scheduled for April 9. Pubic sessions begin promptly at 6 p.m. at the Moultrie Municipal Building.
