City Manager reports infrastructure updates and asks council to draft cell‑tower ordinance

City Manager Dea Mandevill presented the City Manager report on Feb. 12, 2024, noting the grocery store ramp has been completed and the store will stripe its parking lot soon; a damaged floor at the civic center is being leveled; Duane’s office and civic‑center storage stairs are complete; staff have been replacing water lines as leaks are found; lights were installed on stop signs at HWY 81 and 11; and the city has begun advertising for lifeguards and summer help. Mandevill reported that a cell‑tower company has reached out and the council gave permission for staff to begin creating an ordinance to keep towers outside city limits.

The minutes also record that Mandevill attended a City Manager conference in Edmond. The minutes do not provide specific timelines or draft language for the proposed cell‑tower ordinance, nor do they list estimated costs for the reported maintenance work; those details would be handled in follow‑up staff reports or contract records.
