The Bethel School construction project has come to a grinding halt. Upon removal of the
old concrete roadway, it was established that the gas service lines that provide much
needed heating fuel for these winter months were not unde~r the roadway as anticipated,
but in the roadway. Therefore, the lines have to be lowered and construction of the
project has come to a grinding halt. This is the second time in the past month that a
highly visible City project has encountered problems with as-built plans or construction
expectations. The other being the Town Center roofing project, which many of you know
was once again a situation where the as-built plans did not reflect the actual conditions
once reconstruction began. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
There are two notices in your FYI this week. One is from Michael Burgess regarding the
transportation meeting on December 4 at Texas Woman's University at which the US
House of Representatives Transportation Infrastructure Committee Chairman Don Young
will be a guest. The details are in your FYI. The other public meeting notice is from
COG inviting you to join them to take an in-depth look at the Metropolitan
Transportation Plan. There are three dates in the notice. Once again, please consider
these with regard to your own personal schedule.
The Police Department is going to present a women's self-defense course for high school
senior girls in January. There will be two classes, one on Monday night and one on
Wednesday night and they will probably start the last week of January. If you lmow of
anyone interested in these classes, please have them contact the high school resource
officers, Tracy West or Kirk Smith.
