(Wahpeton)– The Wahpeton City Council Monday evening tabled action on a resolution to purchase land from the Presbyterian Camp for construction of a new water treatment plant. It would replace the present facility which is becoming obsolete. The council tabled the purchase agreement on a recommendation from Public Works official Logan Davids, who suggested they meet with the engineer regarding the results of a soil analysis on the site…
The council voted unanimously to hold a special meeting in the near future to learn more about the findings.
On another matter, there was also discussion over traffic enforcement in the city. The council recently approved the purchase of some speed bumps but learned Monday evening of some potential liability concerns. They directed City Attorney Don Hemphill to research that further. Meanwhile council member Holly Mead said the city needs to continue looking at other ways to address the concerns, saying they owe it to their constituents…
Councilman Harold Prior added he would like to see stepped up efforts by law enforcement…
Wahpeton contracts with the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement.
City staff was directed to get prices on some additional signage and will report back to the council with that information.
