Upping the budget Two requests cause $83,500 increase Randy Spicer II City Editor

The Weatherford City Commission approved two supplemental budget requests totaling $83,500 during Tuesday’s regular meeting. One request for $65,000 calls for a 10-inch water line extension of about 4,300 feet on the south side Leanna Cook/WDN of Interstate 40 from Airport Road to the former Above, Burcham’s PM Pre-K singing One Small Voice by Jack Hartmann.

Corporation manufacturing facility. “From Airport Road on the south side of I-40, we have a 10-inch water line supplying that area. But from Airport Road to Kodak, we have a void. We have no water, as far as a water line,” city Public Works director Trent Perkins said. He said the extension is for “future city developments” and indicated businessmen Rick Koch and B.G. Biscoe are starting separate property developments in that area. “I think it’d be efficient for the city if we loop that system and have that water in place,” Perkins said. “It’s going to help you have water there at all times.” •Please see Increase, Page 3 New medical marijuana dispensary grand opening this weekend Randy Spicer II Interstate 40 and south of Hydro outside City Editor of city limits.
