So they missed the enter key a couple times.  The list is exactly the same in the bid as the public notice.

As for the contract number 1, I would assume it doesn't include specific streets as the list would be 20 pages long.  The first contract of the year is typically the one for repairing all potholes, curb cuts and surface penetrations for water main breaks, repairs, and general overlay, not for specific street improvement projects.  It is the overall bid for the year for materials.

This is far from 20 pages long..

Al "Minnow" Brooks needs to give a big thanks to the Freeborn County Assessor's Office for him getting reelected last year.. You would almost think that our local government tried to keep Brooks in his position.. ???

The assessed market values of homes in Ward 6 have dropped more than any other area in Albert Lea including the street he lives on which resulted in a lower property tax bill..

The assessed market value of Al Brooks home at 1402 Academy has dropped 23% since 2012 resulting in a $534 tax bill rather than the $730 he had in 2012.. Both figures include a Special assessment for having a street mill & overlay(asphalt)..

He currently pays less with a Special assessment than he would have in 2012 without a Special assessment..

To save money the City should eliminate the sidewalk on the east side of Virginia Place from 5th St to 7th St and then widen the street..

That sidewalk doesn't go all the way to 7th St anyway..

If flooding has been an issue on South Virginia Place, why would an Albert Lea City Councilman and an Albert Lea City Manager refuse to correct what has been common knowledge for decades? Do they think that as long as they pour some concrete every few years that they are immune from liability if flooding were to happen to those residents that results in major damages?

This is no longer a CHRISTOPHERSON case.. This will be flat out negligence by the City of Albert Lea..
