The Litchfield City Council received a request from the Litchfield Area Community Foundation to set up a popcorn stand in Central Park. The Council granted the request.
LACF Treasurer Tom Smith spoke to the Council about the project last evening and says there was a popcorn stand in Litchfield’s Central Park back in the 1950s and again in the 70s and 80s. He says it would help the LACF raise some extra funds and any non-profit organizations that wanted to work at the stand could earn funds as well.
The Litchfield City Council received an update on the Litchfield Area Recreation Center project last night from Collin Rehbein of ICS and he says they received excellent bids for the first parts of the project which should get started in September and be completed by the fall of 2025. The Council approved of bids of $2,152,000 from Nor-Son Construction for the metal building, and $793,300 from Ebert, Inc. for the concrete.
The Council also received an update from City Administrator David Czoik on the July 8th wastewater meeting. He says representatives with First District, DEED, MPCA, and the City of Litchfield along with Representative Urdahl met and the discussion was positive and helped define priorities. He says the administration has had numerous conversations with the MPCA following the discussion on July 8th, and will be working with Daniel Marx on extending a deadline for meeting pretreatment and discharge limits which is approaching on July 22nd.
