Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously postponed a decision on emergency repairs to damaged guard railings along Richmond Parkway until February 26, 2013. The city wanted to bypass the normal bidding process and hire Midstate Barrier directly to fix the safety hazard quickly. Instead of approving the emergency contract, the five present council members voted to delay the decision for further review. This means the damaged railings will remain unrepaired for at least another month while the council reconsiders the proposal.
