TRINITY — The city of Trinity will now seek contractors to begin work on improvements to the city’s water system.
City Manager Tim King said that at the Thursday City Council meeting, the council approved seeking bids for work to replace a water storage tank at the city well site, as well as building a new water tower and installing backup generators.
The grant, administered by Goodwin Lasiter Strong, is for almost $4 million, King said.
In other business, the council:
•approved bids for the purchase of two Ford ¾-ton pickup trucks for the Water and Sewer Department;
• accepted the annual audit performed by Davis, Heinemann and Co., which was given an unmodified opinion but suggested raising prices on water service;
• approved an amendment to an ordinance that established the position of Police Chief. King said the original ordinance, passed in the 1980s, abolished the city marshal position and created a police chief; however, it stated the chief of police will answer to city manager, which was changed to answering to the mayor; and
• amended the ordinance on mobile homes and HUD-code manufactured homes areas to require the parks to have two entrances on each end or a turnaround large enough to accommodate a fire truck.
