WINONA LAKE - The town council approved additional appropriations of $637,015 today.
According to clerk-treasurer Retha Hicks, the funds are needed to complete the current Park Avenue reconstruction project, the new town hall project and the purchase of the new fire department tanker truck.
In other business, the council approved a resolution authorizing the issuance of $6.1 million in bonds for various projects at Grace College. The city only will be the issuing authority, with the college being wholly responsible for the debt.
The council also approved the construction of a maintenance catwalk above the drop ceiling of the new town hall building. The catwalk will allow access to the ventilation fans in the attic of the building. Also approved was the construction of a trench drain for the building, at a cost not to exceed $3,000.
