Bert L. Haskell, Jr. - Owner/Funeral Director • Nicole Reed - Funeral Director for building (309) 385-4414 • haskellfuneral.com By JEFF LAMPE Answers on Page 16 For The Weekly Post FARMINGTON – The Farmington City Council on Monday voted to exit two agreements pertain- ing to the construction of a new city building. Council members voted to end an agreement with Sam Lillie to purchase three vacants lots on East Fort Street. The council also voted to end an agreement designating D. Joseph Construction Co. as the Design Build posi- tion for the proposed new building. Soil testing at the va- cant lots showed the site was not currently suitable for construction of a new building. At the last coun- cil meeting, the council – and several members of the general public – balked at the idea of spending more money to prepare the site for con- struction of a new two- story building. After informally polling council members, Mayor Kent Kowal suggested ending the two agree- ments. City Administrator Rollen Wright said the ef- fort to find a new city building has been tabled for now until “things calm down a bit with COVID and building ma- terial costs.” In other business, the council heard that there was no change in the $555,310.34 balance in the TIF fund.
