A Health Revival, owned/operated by Nancy Stanley, continues to hold their exercise groups in the Callaway Center twice on Monday and twice on Thursday. Sometimes they hold it outside, but the building is available to them for inclement weather situations also. The Self Defense classes are continuing to meet regularly on the 2nd Thursday of each month. The Cub Scouts also use the Callaway Center every 3rd Thursday of each month. We finished up the end of the regular season for cheer, football, and soccer between the end of Oct and the first few days of November due to weather related issues. We are now into All Stars for Football and Soccer. We will have a football and soccer Jamboree the first part of November to give the All-Star teams some practice for district games. We started registration for Basketball on Oct 28th, and it will run until Nov 15th before the late fee is incurred.

INSPECTIONINSPECTIONNovember 1, 2019I received and responded to a call about work being performed in SR 292.There was a misunderstanding regarding the jack and bore permit and L&LUtilities, McLendon Enterprises’s subcontractor, is potholing the utilities inpreparation for performing the proposed jack and bore. There is an existing10” water main in the east bound lane that the subcontractor is trying togauge depth on. They were stopped by city personnel before they excavatedin the roadway. After meeting with GDOT, City of Lyons, and McLendonEnterprises we determined the depth of the water main is between 5 and 6feet. The proposed jack and bore may have missed the water main, but totake extra precaution I made a field engineering change to lower thebeginning elevation of the jack and bore to add depth. This would allow forgreater separation of the force main and the water main and no disturbanceof the water main and would still allow the receiving jack and bore locationto maintain the designed elevation. L&L Utilities continued preparation forthe jack and bore.
