Purchase, from front Income Tax (EDIT) funds to pay for the building, a request which was unanimously approved. Most likely, this building will be renovated and restored as a site for a new police station, as this suggestion has been spoken aloud at previous meetings. There was some concern brought forth about the investment that has already been made toward the property on Indiana Avenue, which had been donated to the town. That area had been considered for a possible station as well. The engineering firm of DLZ had been contracted by the town to survey the property and handle other related issues, for a cost of $26,000. Of that amount, the company has already been paid $6,000. Troxel said that he would talk further with Sloat about the terms of the contract, to see what can be done about nullifying any future financial obligation. The Council then considered a request from Carl Gilbert, a resident of North Olive Street. Gilbert asked the members about having signage implemented at the intersection of Olive and Sycamore to alleviate speeding problems at that location. Traffic makes a sharp turn at that curve in both directions, so it was thought that either a yield sign or a stop sign, particularly for westbound travelers, might slow drivers down. The members agreed to consider the issue. During the segment of the session that was opened for public comment, Monte Holdeman, owner of D & M Automotive, was on hand to ask for the council's assistance in solving the ongoing flooding problems that have plagued his business for many years. Holdeman expressed frustration that any time the water and sewer lines are redesigned around the area, the situation only grows worse. He said that the recent swift and intense spells of rain have resulted in occasions of two feet or more of water collecting in his business's basement. Holdeman implored with the council to enlist the help of engineering companies to help resolve the matter on a more permanent basis. The next meeting of the Wakarusa Town Council will be held Tuesday, Aug. 2 at the town hall. The public is welcome to attend.
