City paying to clear Sullivan Run
Over the next three weeks, trees and other debris will be cleared from Sullivan Run.
Butler City Council approved a motion at Thursday's meeting to pay Bauer Excavating Inc. $5,470 to clear the waterway.
Mayor Ben Smith said clearing the run is a recurring process the city always contracts out.
“It depends on when we get to it,” he said. “It always goes to the low bidder.”
City Council also discussed the possibility of moving a clock on Main Street that Smith said has been struck by vehicles in the past.
“We didn't want to use taxpayer money to move it,” Smith said. “Dillon, McCandless, King, Coulter and Graham expressed interest in the payment for the repairs and moving of the clock, but council didn't take any action.”
