Jerseyville City Council held their regular meeting Tuesday, Jan. 24.
In new business, the council approved an ordinance to purchase property from Phillip Hansen for $37,500, being part of the re-subdivision of lots of Cross County Estates, to be used for a stormwater detention basin site as part of the Sandy Creek Phase 1 drainage improvement project.
The property is already a site for the water detention basin and this will allow the contractor to continue to expand the existing basin.
City Council discussed multiple items regarding updates to the Susnig Center.
A motion was approved awarding a bid from Stutz Excavating for parking and drainage improvement work at the Susnig Center. A bid for roof restoration at the Susnig Center was tabled during the meeting while the council waits for pricing on different types of materials.
