After lunch today I went to the Killough road project. They have completed the project with the exception of a small amount of sod that has to be placed on the shoulder. The contractor plans to open the street to traffic in the morning.

This project has gone very smooth and it really looks good. This has been a much needed project and I am glad that we had to money to complete the improvements to the street. I am sure that the citizens who use this section of street will enjoy the wider street.

I have a meeting with the Wynne Water Commission at 4:00 PM today. They will present a plan to overcome the shortfall in revenue for the department. The alderman have been invited to the meeting. The commission met last Tuesday and presented three plans to overcome the shortfall in revenue. I think that they will take the information from that meeting and present a final plan at today's meeting. It is never easy to increase the cost of services that are provided the citizens, but the commission must take in enough money to cover their cost as well as pay for the improvments that were paid for with bonds.
