MOUNT VERNON — Mount Vernon City Council will hear information Monday on a proposed water system for a mobile home park that will involve the park reimbursing the city for construction.
Council has scheduled two committee hearings for Monday. The first is for the Westgate Mobile Home Community water system, as well as the funding mechanism for the system. The second hearing will hear information on the Main Street/Chestnut Street intersection project.
The city would coordinate the construction of the new system under a signed contract with Westgate that they will pay the city back. The city will try to secure the funding upfront for the project through an OPWC grant/loan package; the city will further need council approval in another resolution to apply to the OPWC for funding.
Both issues are in resolutions up for a second reading.
The Main/Chestnut streets intersection project will involve widening lanes so that trucks can more easily make northbound turns. As the intersection now stands, trucks often rollover portions of the sidewalks.
Two guests are scheduled to speak to the council on the subject of police reform.
