Altamont Council Decides to Replace Sign at Schmidt Park

Altamont city council members Monday decided to replace the welcome sign at Schmidt Park.

The sign greets those entering Altamont along the blacktop from the south. There was consideration of repairing the existing sign, but the consensus was to replace the sign. Council member Mike Walker said he might contact the Industrial Arts class at Altamont Community High School about working on a new sign.

The Council awarded mowing bids to Jon Berg and to Precision Lawn Care. Berg will mow at the Municipal Building, the Triangle, and at the sewage treatment lagoons, while Precision will mow at Gilbert, Schmidt and Klitzing Parks.

A lot at 301 North Main Street was sold to Tyler Polk for $7,500, and a three-year contract was renewed with Clean Uniform Service.
