Needed repairs to the old bridge at St Francisville was the subject of much discussion and action Monday night. The City has been grappling with fixing the old deckboards, ties and work screws and did approve ordering around $20,000 in additional materials needed to make the necessary repairs. A lack of manpower to make the repairs is also a problem and the city is looking for anyone to help in the efforts. No firm closure date has been determined to get the work done. Meanwhile, work on the new bridge has now resumed after a hiatus due to weather. The council did approve a letter of agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation regarding payment of it's portion of the project costs over an 8 month period. The city will host the 2024 CROP Hunger Walk in September. It will be held on Sunday September 22nd and will begin at 2 p.m. at the firehouse. More details will be forthcoming as the date draws closer. Tuesday, August 20th is the first day to pick up and circulate nominating petitions for offices up for election in 2025. They include Mayor, City Clerk, City Treasurer, and Ward 1, Ward 2 and two Ward 3 Alderman seats. The petitions are available at City Hall during regular business hours.
