• Move back the date for property owners to pay for concrete repairs or replacement of sidewalks, curbs, gutters and other features that were done in 2019 to Aug. 1 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The total cost of the repairs paid for by the city was $537,938. If payment is not made, those costs will be assessed to the property owners taxes for five years. Mayor Nicole Condrey asked if the Aug. 1 deadline could be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Acting City Manager Susan Cohen said that the date was set by state statute and could not be delayed. Councilman Talbott Moon abstained from the vote.
