(KLZA)--The Pawnee City Council has approved a new Street Plan calling for new concrete for 48 blocks of the streets in the community. 

Evan Wickersham with JEO Consultants suggested new concrete for the 48 blocks to be paid for with a half-cent sales tax increase approved by Pawnee City voters in November.  

The action was taken during the December 27th Council meeting.  

The Council also agreed to a request from the Pawnee City Chamber of Commerce to pay the monthly electrical bill on a lighted billboard on Highway 50 on the north edge of Pawnee City.  The fee is approximately $22 per month.
