Council adjourned to Work Session at 6:09 p.m.
Staff Presentation
Chris Holsted presented information to Council on several options for median openings on 5th Street
and State Highway 78.
Option 1 -To realign Oak,Brown and Fifth streets at 90 degree angles with median openings.
Option 2-To realign Oak,Brown and Fifth Streets with Brown and Fifth creating a new 4-
way intersection.
Option 3 -To realign Oak,Brown and Marble in lieu of Fifth Street.
Mr. Johnson reported to the Council that if option#1 was implemented,the purchase or demolition of
Wylie Carpet and Tile would be necessary.
Council Discussion
Councilman Young presented a fourth option to the median openings. A common drive along the
business frontage from Oak Street to Brown Street would allow citizens to access business property
along Hwy. 78 and eliminate the need for a median opening at Hwy. 78 and 5th Street.
The council direction to staff is to move ahead with option #1 and provide further information
pertaining to the appraisal and acquisition of Wylie Carpet and Tile.
