The plan is to have the reviews done, and rate adjustment recommendations before Council for approval before the Finance Officer starts the 2016 Budget.
8. Guardrail Request Broadway Bridge. I have not gotten a response from the Wood County Engineer on the guardrail request. I have emailed him and he is working on it. I requested a bridge inspection report, but have not gotten that yet. I also asked about the gas main that is attached to or near the bridge and if this ever gets inspected.
