Following the council meeting, the Board of Public Works and Safety met. Scott Siple of Midwestern Engineers preempted the board with proposals and contracts for the existing Waste Water Treatment Plan and the Master Sewer Plan studies. The board accepted the proposals and approved the contract. The Board also agreed to a request from Discover Downtown Washington to close SE 2nd between Main and South Streets between the hours of 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. on December 2. Dusty Davis told the board that there are plans for food trucks and other activities in conjunction with the Christmas Parade. In other action, the Board also agreed to a request from the Perdue Inc. Safety Team for a designated crosswalk and caution signage between the parking lot and the main entrance to the plant on Clark Road. Street Commissioner Bryan Sergesketter will work with the Safety Committee on the crosswalk project.
