The agenda also includes discussion on a $5.2 million construction contract for the Jupiter Sanitary Sewer and Oak Hill Water Main Replacement project. In addition to replacing existing sewer lines, this project includes removing dead or overgrown trees as well as sidewalk repairs.

Diving in deeper: Council will also consider a possible zoning change recommended by the Allen Planning and Zoning Commission at its March 17 meeting.
