Carmi City Council Returns to Form, Goes Gentle into that Good Night
After a few meetings with quite the hullabaloo, the Carmi City Council breezed through a session with no feedback from the handful of guests looking on from the gallery Tuesday. In just 9 minutes, Carmi leaders authorized spending of more than $150,000 including $58,500 to TriKote, LLC through Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Rebuild Illinois funds for water tank painting, an engineering bill for the same project totaling just over $9,000, $34,000 to Wiggs Excavating for water system improvements, an administration bill for those improvements coming to $941 and change, and a Brown and Roberts engineering pay request of $28,080 for a job on Saunders Avenue and Meadow Street.
