Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
WINONA LAKE - Work has started on the new town hall renovation, meaning work on the new Senior Center can begin soon.
The new center will be at the Community Building and the renovation project there will be funded through a $300,000 state grant, with the town providing $50,000 toward the new center. Bob Murphy & Associates were approved as project managers on the Senior Center renovation.
Retha Hicks, clerk treasurer said today construction crews have begun removing asbestos in the old Quonset hut that will serve as the new city building when its renovation is completed later this year. The asbestos removal will be done by April 5.
In other business, Hicks also announced the recycling program due to start this month has been delayed.
"We have not received the paperwork back from the state to purchase the recycling bins," she said. "So we're postponing the start of the program until we get those in and we can buy the bins. We can't incur any expenses until the state gets us their approval."
Tom Ehlerding, of Liquid Force Sewer Services, reported to the council that work on inspecting the sewer lines will start this week.
"We'll be videoing the sewers this week, looking at the conditions of the systems to determine the extent of repairs that need to be done," Ehlerding said.
The council approved the reappointment of Blaine Mikesell to the Economic Development Commission and accepted the resignation of Officer Joel Beam from the police department.
