One action item led to some discussion of additional street work, spring clean up nuisance enforcement at Monday’s Humboldt City Council meeting.
The lone item of business outside of consent agenda items (financial reporting and liquor license permits), was a resolution to approve a payment to Nettleton Excavating of Clear Lake for work on the Highway 169 water main project, which is currently underway.
The Council unanimously approved a payment of $127,376.95 to Nettleton for work completed to date.
Work started from the Park Shop on 3rd Avenue North and has continued across the highway with casings and pipe. Most of the expense so far has been for equipment mobilization, driveway removal, water hydrant assembly and removal, subgrade preparation, excavation and eight-inch water main replacement.
