The Nevada City Council will be considering an agreement with Williams, Spurgeon, Kuhl & Freshnock Architects Inc., North Kansas City, for the programming phase of the public safety facilities design, during tonight's council meeting, at 7, in Council Chambers, inside the Public Safety Building at Ash and Austin. The work for this phase of the project will include a needs assessment, site analysis and a project schedule.

The council also will consider a request for a solicitor's license for the American Cancer Society for the intersection of Osage and Austin for May 25-26.

Other items on the council's agenda include the first reading of a special ordinance with Crockett Construction, Lamar, to repair a sewer line under the intersection of Adams and Douglas streets that was damaged during the installation of a telephone line; the second reading a a special ordinance approving a lease-purchase agreement with Great Southern Bank for a John Deere Mini-excavator and a special ordinance approving an agreement with American Fidelity Assurance Company to manage the city's flexible spending account.

The council also plans to hold a discussion on the city's tourism fund and to issue mayoral proclamations for American Legion Poppy Days, Police Week and EMS Week.

I didn't see last weeks Council news briefs after their meeting. Was wondering if they approved Mr. Curtis's zoning change, and also Mr. Barry Clarks request for Clark Avenue out by his other strip mall?

Let me see, I'm an architect that wants to design a big job. You can't get a fair needs assessment from the fox of how well the hen house is guarded. Get ready Nevada here we go again. Cost overruns out the wazoo.

So we bought a piece of property for $100000 more than it was ever worth. Now you want to do site assessments for thousands more? Shouldn't that have been done first? Wouldn't the assessment be more cost efficient and effective if we took the building codes enforcement and the fire trucks over to see if it actually worked? Despite a declining population we get a bigger and bigger city government that seems less and less capable of meeting the public needs.
