The public is welcome to attend this meeting. Council President Roger Sierer reported the water treatment plant construction project is on schedule. It was behind schedule, but once the building was closed in and under roof, the contractors were able to gain the lost days due to no more weather delays. The water plant commissioning is scheduled April 13-May 13. The commissioning is when water is run through the system to check and inspect pumps, values and piping connections for leaks and pressure, and how the computers respond to commands. Once the commissioning is complete, the plant will be put in service, possibly sometime in June if not sooner. The water plant comple- tion date is scheduled for Sept. 13. Sierer also reported the sewer separation project is going fine. The contractor lost two days due to weather, but by working on Fridays, the project is now back on schedule. As weather permits, work will be done at various locations around town. All fence and backstop repairs are completed at Jeffery Park, and at the water park, all lifeguard and concession interviews are complete. Eleven new lifeguards are taking training March 9 through May 7. Sale of Hotel Barnes property is at 10:15 a.m. Thursday, March 7 at the courthouse.

The Pan- ther senior also connected on 13 treys this season and hit 75 percent at the charity stripe (63 of 84). “Lance had a tremendous year for us,” noted Panther head coach Shawn Brewer. “He put the team first and did what was best for the team. His versatility and ability to score in multiple ways and made him tough for teams to defend. Lance was a great leader for us this year and did everything we could ask.” Panthers tied for fifth in the league with a 5-4 record.
