During Tuesday night's city council meeting the council voted for the ordinance of execution of the foreclosure of a property at 513 7th St. The city is looking to do repairs to the building and sell it.
The Council also voted to proceed with application of the Community Development Assistance Program. This is a flex grant of $420,000, which would be put towards improvements throughout the city. The city is going to match the grant with $160,000 to complete these projects.
These projects include redoing sections of city sidewalks and beautifying a property on the square.
Also, the council renewed city manager Scott Smith's contract during Tuesday night's meeting.
Both Mayor John Inyart and council member Jim Dunn thanked Smith for the effort and work he has put forth for the city over the years. The contract has been renewed for four years.

Of all people, I know what it's like working at the summer DEN, but I just want to say that this headline is worded very poorly. It makes it sound like they are executing the house, which isn't possible. (Continued…)
