(KLZA)-- A project to widen and perform an asphalt overlay on Old Highway 73 in Falls City is scheduled to begin next week.
City Administrator Gary Jorn informed the Council Monday night that milling on the project is to begin October 13. In addition to the overlay, the road will also be widened.
The City has been pushing for action to abate a number of nuisance properties over the past several months. Jorn said an October 9th is the date the city can go in and abate the nuisance at 1203 Lane Street. He is hoping the property owner will have it taken care of by then.
Progress is being made on the property at 1701 Schoenheit Street with the owner having an asbestos inspection completed and plans in place to abate the nuisance.
Jorn said the process to clean up a property at 2224 Chase Street is about to go before the Court for action in mid-October.
The City Administrator also said plans are to begin to move forward with the process to clean up a nuisance property at 820 McLean Street.
Jorn also updated the Council and Gayle Swisegood on a pending claim filed by the owners of The Flower Cart concerning water damage during utility work last spring. Jorn explained the City needs to make a decision on a claim against the City by mid-December.
Jorn said an insurance company for one of the contractors on the project has taken no action at this time.
