Cedarville council accepts framing bid for City Hall, approves temporary maintenance shed

The Cedarville City Council moved forward on City Hall construction and interim facilities during 2005, accepting a contractor bid for framing and approving a temporary shed purchase from the street fund.

Council discussed City Hall progress at multiple meetings; minutes show plumbing was scheduled to begin in March and wiring was discussed later. The council received multiple framing bids and, after reviewing offers, accepted Mr. Hosier's bid of $6,600 with a three-month completion target (motion recorded as passed 3-0). Council had earlier agreed to purchase a temporary 10x24 building (to be used until City Hall is completed and later repurposed as a maintenance shed) for up to $3,000 from the street fund.

The council also approved sending representatives to a land-use seminar to help staff and members manage development and permitting issues tied to construction projects. Several items related to City Hall remained pending in the minutes: final wiring arrangements, solicitation of a third bid before the framing vote (noted earlier), and schedule coordination with contractors.

The council recorded next steps as soliciting one more framing bid (already requested earlier in the year), arranging for wiring by a named local electrician when available, and monitoring the framing contract completion timeline.
